Lyman Oil Document: The Pellet Project

The Pellet Project: Getting off the Oil Roller Coaster

It’s Here: a new and more inexpensive way for homes and businesses to heat in the face of record-high oil prices. Last spring we met some new friends from Maine Energy Systems who were in the process of bringing to market a viable and affordable heating alternative. They are offering a fascinating solution - something that works as a central heating alternative that does the job for a lot less than oil. It just so happens that this new heating equipment also fits our mission of offering heating alternatives that are cleaner and more environmentally viable, such as our Bioheat alternative fuel blend that we introduced back in 2005. We liked the new equipment so much that we spent the summer training and certifying our entire heating and installation and sales staff how to sell and install the new equipment.

This brand-new heating alternative for the Mount Washington Valley – something we call The Pellet Project, is all about central heating with wood pellets. The first live-fire system in the Valley is installed so we can now show interested parties to generate some buzz to get the project moving. In addition, our new bulk pellet delivery truck and plentiful pellet supply allow us to distribute bulk wood pellets. We are having a lot of fun with this - we can’t wait to start showing what this system can do.

So here’s the plan: we plan to sell and install the MESys wood pellet central heating boiler to a certain number of customers. If you are interested, the best way to proceed is to contact us and we will:

come visit your home and survey your current heating system;
we’ll then work up an personalized estimate that includes the complete system including the automatic feed pellet burner, hot water boiler and storage bin system;
if you decide to proceed, we’ll reserve a system for you and plan for the installation;
you can also visit a system that is working right here in the Valley - Give us a call and we can set up a time to show you all of the exciting new features of this money-saving heating solution.

For an excellent resource on the technical aspects of the heating system, please also visit the MESys site at www.maineenergysystems.com. After looking at all the good stuff there, you might be wondering how much does this system cost? Generally, most customers can expect to invest about half-again as much as the cost of a traditional heating system. With fuel savings that promises to cut annual fuel expenditures by about half, most customers can expect a very reasonable payback period. The purchase program also includes access to special financing arrangements through Northeast Bank, who is offering a special mortgage-rate finance package for pellet heating system customers. Check out the Cost Savings tab on the Maine Energy Systems website at www.maineenergysystems.com/savings_calculator.htm for an excellent demonstration of the real savings, including an estimated payback period as well as some of the environmental benefits.

We are going to work hard to make The Pellet Project become a pellet reality, and with our customers’ help, we will be installing the latest cost-saving heating choices right here in the Mount Washington Valley. Call at (603)356-2411 for an update or the latest news.
