All the ambience of a real fire but with none of the kindling, log-splitting, firewood storing hassles. The Parkwood Pellet Fire is easy to start with the added feature of an automatic starter to make the home nice and toasty to wake up to in the frosty mornings – a real lazy man’s fire! The team at Parkwood Pellet Fires are prompt to handle any queries and maintenance is handled quickly and efficiently. It’s nice buying “NZ Made” and supporting our country too.

Recently we purchased two pellet fires to use as the sole heating for our 40 square home. My parents also purchased a fire for their 27 square home to supplement other heating.

For our home, the heaters have very nicely met our needs. We have a kitchen/ lounge area of over 6 squares that we mostly live in during winter. This area gets toasty warm, with a very pleasant, clean heat. The fire also throws a beautiful warm light into the room at night and can eliminate the need for lighting when watching TV.

They are easy beyond belief to start, and the minimal cleaning required gives me a nice sense of satisfaction once the job is done.

We are very, very happy with our pellet fires.

My parents are also happy with theirs. Their heating bills for winter, in the past approached $2,500, with oil central heating and a gas heater. These costs have dropped dramatically with only minimal use of central heating and only one delivery of pellets at $450 to date. They run their heater almost 24/7 and their house is totally different to walk into. Prior to getting the pellet fire heater, the house was always cold, even with central heating. Now, one is enveloped in a cozy heat.

The Pellet fires have been a very successful choice for heating our homes and we are very happy with them.

I am pleased to inform you of our overall satisfaction with the Pellet Fire that we have purchased from your firm. The unit has met (and exceeded) all our expectations. It is extremely easy to operate and provides us with a very economical, planet friendly and cosmetic alternative for our heating requirements. We have been very impressed with the quality of service and support we have received from your firm from the moment we placed our order. The efficient installation and subsequent follow-up shows a firm that is well aware that good customer service continues beyond the order placement.
We strongly recommend both your product and firm.

The house we purchased in October 2005 had a coal and wood duel burning log fire. We found that the existing fire needed to be on by 4 pm each day to heat the home sufficiently for the evening.

We both work during the day, and weekends are spent with sport or other family activities. Spending lots of time splitting firewood and then storing it have never been great options. Coal is expensive and dirty to use. We are also aware of the emission levels/environmental issues surrounding coal and wood burners and carbon levels from fires.

We researched the Parkwood web site mid 2006 and visited Di’s Parkwood Pellet Fire going in her home.

We asked Di and Ian to come and discuss Parkwood Pellet Fires with us. With the Parkwood Pellet Fire permanently set into the van, they arrived in Piopio to explain how they worked, check out our home site and give advice on whether the Parkwood Pellet Fire would be a sound option to heat our home.

Di and Ian gave us a quote for full cost and installation of the fire – council permit included – as well as discounted price for our initial home show inquiry. We contacted Di and Ian before the winter of 2007, they obtained the permit and the Parkwood Pellet fire was duly installed – the previous years’ quote honoured.

We are thrilled with the Parkwood Pellet fire. The timer we can set to come on each morning before we get up, or to come on in the late afternoon before we get home. We don’t waste wood keeping the fire going during the day when nobody is home.

The varied settings allow the house to be heated quickly and then lowered to maintain the heat throughout the evening. The fan pushes the heat well out into the room, ensuring coverage of a large area. The heat is such that we are now making inquiries into heat transfer kits to transfer the heat into the hall and bedrooms.

We would be happy to talk to anybody, via Ian and Di, who might be contemplating buying a Parkwood Pellet Fire – it simply works!

"We installed a pellet fire to replace our open fire. Julie is really appreciating having the pellet fire this year and has commented on the house being alot better to live in over winter. Not only does it heat our lounge, but eminates heat into our hallway. We have also put in a heat transfer system which has taken the chill off three bedrooms running off our hall/entrance way. In 2 months we have noticed savings on power costs from running a stand alone heater. It is clean and easy to use for Julie who is at home all day looking after 2 young children."
