WHY BUY A LOPI PELLET STOVE?

C o n v e n i e n c e

Lopi pellet stoves and inserts offer a clean and environmentally sound way to heat your home.

There are no insects, dirt, pieces of bark or slivers of wood brought into your home with pellet fuel.

Pellets for

your Lopi pellet appliance also take

up less space

to store than cordwood or woodchips.

You can store four

times the amount of pellet fuel in the

same space that

wood takes up! A winter’s supply of

pellets for the

average home occupies about 6’ x 6’

x 6’ of space so you can store them in any dry area such as a basement, utility room or shed.

Your Lopi pellet appliance only needs to be loaded once a day. Nothing could be easier. It will automatically feed the correct amount of pellets to keep your home warm all day and night.

Use the wall thermostat (standard on all large models) or the optional remote control and extend the burn time even longer. Set the thermostat to your desired room temperature and the pellet appliance will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature and extend the value of your fuel.

Pellets are an all-natural, renewable fuel. They are held together by lignin, which is a natural substance occurring in wood fibers that acts as a glue when compressed. It’s so safe, it’s also used as a binding agent in animal feed pellets.

Pellets fuel has been proven to be the cleanest burning type of wood fuel you can use. The U.S. EPA woodburning limit of particulates is 7.5 grams per hour - but Lopi pellet stoves only exhaust on average 1.2 grams per hour! This is truly a fuel source as good for the environment as it is for you.

C o n f i d e n c e

Your Lopi appliance is designed, engineered and built to the highest standards in the world. We do not cut corners to save costs, we only use the highest quality materials, heavy-duty steel and high-tech tested components in our Lopi pellet appliances. And we stand behind our appliances with our “REAL WORLD” Limited Seven Year Warranty (see www.lopifire.com).

ASTM E 1509-95, CSA B366.2, UL 1482-94, ULC S627-93 specifications

The Lopi UL 1482-94, ULC S627-93, ASTM E 1509-95, and CSA B366.2 are critical standards that establish safety and performance criteria for residential heating appliances, particularly wood stoves and hearth systems. These standards ensure that products are designed and manufactured to maintain effectiveness while minimizing risks associated with fire and emissions.

The Lopi UL 1482-94 is particularly focused on safety requirements for solid fuel burning appliances. It sets forth guidelines to ensure that wood stoves are constructed in a robust manner, facilitating safe operation without compromising on performance. The standard requires thorough testing of components to withstand the rigors of intense heat and potential flue gas emissions.

ULC S627-93 complements this by addressing the specific Canadian market, taking into account additional environmental considerations and safety protocols suited to Canadian weather conditions. The inclusion of stringent emissions limits underscores the importance of reducing pollutants, promoting cleaner air without sacrificing the heat output necessary in cold climates.

ASTM E 1509-95 shines a light on the performance of decorative solid fuel burning appliances. This standard lays down guidelines for efficiency testing and performance measurement, ensuring that the appliances not only operate safely but also provide adequate heating capacity. By measuring various factors such as heat output and efficiency, it helps consumers make informed decisions about the wood stoves they choose.

CSA B366.2 focuses on the installation requirements and guidelines for solid biofuel-burning appliances. It encompasses ventilation, clearances, and installation safety, ensuring that appliances are correctly positioned to operate effectively while minimizing fire risks and maximizing heat performance. The standard encourages responsible installation practices that contribute to the longevity of the appliance and the safety of the home.

These combined standards advocate for innovation in technologies used in stove design, such as advanced combustion methods that reduce emissions and improve efficiency. Features like secondary air combustion systems and catalytic converters are increasingly common, optimizing the burn process and making the most of each log used.

In summary, Lopi's adherence to UL 1482-94, ULC S627-93, ASTM E 1509-95, and CSA B366.2 reflects a commitment to safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, ensuring a reliable heat source for homes while prioritizing the well-being of both users and the environment. This comprehensive approach allows homeowners to enjoy the comfort of wood-burning appliances with confidence.
