As experienced heating specialists, we've seen wood boilers transform home heating into a practical, economical, and enjoyable solution. Modern models combine advanced technology with sustainable practices, efficiently heating homes, providing domestic hot water, or warming swimming pools using renewable fuels far cheaper than gas or oil.
Wood boilers fall into three main categories: log boilers, pellet boilers, and woodchip boilers.
Traditional yet highly efficient, today's log boilers feature improved designs, including automatic models with filling chambers for greater autonomy. You'll need storage space for logs. Classic logs achieve 75% efficiency, while turbo logs reach 85%. Expect 1,500 to 7,000 euros for manual models and 3,000 to 10,000 euros for automatic loading.
Pellet boilers deliver up to 90% efficiency with standard pellets and 105% with condensing models. They offer excellent inertia and autonomy, with pellets fed via auger from a silo. Prices range from 5,000 to 20,000 euros.
Woodchips—reconstituted from shredded forest wood—are stored in silos like pellets, with 80-85% efficiency. Budget 7,000 to 15,000 euros for these models.
| Wood Boiler Type | Average Price | Fuel Price | Installation Price |
| Log Boiler | 1,500 to 10,000 euros | 60 to 90 euros / stere | 600 to 2000 |
| Pellet Boiler | 5,000 to 20,000 euros | 200 to 350 euros / ton | |
| Woodchip Boiler | 7,000 to 15,000 euros | 40 to 100 euros / ton |
Professional installation costs vary by model, job complexity, and provider rates, typically 600 to 2,000 euros. Add accessories like silos, collectors, or sanitary tanks, which may add up to 5,000 euros.
