Sensors for Pellet Stoves

Sensors for pellet stoves play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of your heating system.

In this category, you will find:

• Mechanical Pressure Switch – Controls the pressure in the heating system. It is essential for preventing excessive pressure that could damage the system.
• Safety Thermostat – Prevents the pellet stove from overheating. This type of thermostat automatically shuts down the system when critical temperatures are reached.
• Capillary Thermostat – A precise and reliable choice for temperature control. It uses a capillary tube to accurately measure temperature changes within the system.
• Water Temperature Sensor – Measures and regulates the temperature of the water in the heating system, ensuring efficient and economical heating.
• Room Temperature Sensor – Monitors the room temperature and helps maintain optimal comfort. It is important for energy efficiency and home comfort.
• Flue Gas Sensor – Monitors emissions from the stove and ensures they remain within safe limits, which is important for environmental protection and the health of the occupants.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sensors for Pellet Stoves
