Economics of Owning a Kedel
Kedel Pellet Boilers
In answer to the question of how to use less fossil fuel,
Kedel was born. A simple, elegant solution for your
home or business heating needs. In North America,
pellet boilers have been either affordable and labor
intensive or automated and very expensive. Kedel is
the first stand alone pellet boiler that is affordable,
automated and modular. All Kedels have the same
standard features such as a self-cleaning, highefficiency heat exchanger, web-enabled touch screen
controller, and a digitally controlled combustion
system. Kedel can be configured in many different ways
to meet your budget, space and heating requirements.
With today’s
heating fuel prices
increasing at an
alarming rate, it
makes economic
sense to heat with
pellets. Installing
a Kedel will cost
approximately
$2,000 – $5,000 more than installing a comparable
fossil fuel boiler, but the cost of operation is
significantly less. Converting from oil to pellets will save
you around 40-50% per year. With savings like that, you
will easily make up the extra installation costs in 2-3
years, leaving you extra income to spend on things you
enjoy more than buying oil and propane.
Sized to Fit Your Structure
Kedel is available in four sizes: 54, 68, 102 and 170
thousand BTU outputs. Our dealers are trained to
properly size Kedel for your home or business.
It’s Time to Transition Off Fossil Fuels
Kedel is an affordable and reliable pellet boiler that will
completely replace your current heating system. Pellet
heat is very similar to oil and propane heat in function;
it heats the building and hot water comfortably using
much of the existing infrastructure. By utilizing local
and renewable pellet fuel, Kedel is a practical and
sustainable solution that will fit your budget
and lifestyle.
Kedel Grows with You
The most automated Kedel requires minimal
interaction. We are delighted to offer modular pellet
feed systems that will evolve with you and your budget.
Each system starts with the same dependable Kedel,
complete with its stunning list of standard features.
The pellet storage and conveyance systems are
interchangeable. To learn more, talk to your Kedel
dealer about upgrade and equipment buy back options.
Retrofit Your Existing Heating System
Kedel pellet boilers are designed to take advantage
of your building’s established central heating
infrastructure.

Included Features
Self Cleaning Heat Exchanger
Burning pellets produces ash. How pellet boilers deal with that ash
determines the frequency of maintenance required. Kedel’s self
cleaning heat exchanger saves you time and energy by doing the
hard work for you. With the self cleaning heat exchanger, the boiler
only needs to be opened and cleaned once a year by you or your
service provider.
Web Enabled Touch Screen Controller
Kedel’s web enabled touch screen can turn the burner on and off, run
the burner cleaner and even start and stop the pump. If that’s not
enough, fine tune the touch screen to suit your needs by adding exhaust
temperature control, domestic hot water control, BTU metering and
web monitoring.
Oxygen Sensor Combustion Controller
Kedel fine tunes the amount of air the fan mixes into the combustion
chamber taking into account variations in pellet quality, changes in
draft, and the dirtiness of the boiler. This ensures clean combustion
and minimizes the need for cleaning and ash removal. A Lambda
Sensor lives in the exhaust of the boiler measuring the oxygen levels of
the exiting flue gases.
30 Year Boiler
Vessel Warranty
Put your worries to rest
with Kedel’s thirty year
boiler vessel warranty.
We guarantee your boiler
vessel will be free from
defects for thirty years,
provided the boiler is
installed by a factory
trained representative
and serviced by a
professional annually.
Additional, extended
warranties are available
with maintenance
agreements from Kedel’s
distribution partners.

10 to 1 Turndown
Kedel boilers can produce as little as 1/10th of its output, far superior
to the average reduction of 1/3rd by most pellet and gas boilers in the
marketplace. We achieve these results by using a smart auger which
consistently meters pellet supply in the combustion chamber of our
stainless steel burner. What this means for you is Kedel runs with fewer
ignition cycles and uses less energy.
40”
High Efficiency Heat Exchanger
Kedel removes so much heat from the pellets that flue gases exit the
boiler at less than 300°F. This is far lower than any other pellet boiler
on the market, indicating that more of the heat is getting where you
want it, into the water and less up the chimney. Low flue temperatures
require a lined chimney. 200°F degree exhaust temperatures are
extremely low for a pellet boiler, indicating efficiencies that compare to
condensing gas boilers.
Weather Compensation
Kedel’s controls utilize web enabled technology to monitor local weather
conditions. With this information, Kedel automatically managed its heat
outputs. This ensures the most efficient use of fuel, while also keeping
your building at maximum comfort.
