And if you are a lessor owner, listen well! A pellet stove could also turn into an additional source of income. A survey by the Belgian Institute for Market Studies (IBEM) shows that 65 % of tenants are ready to pay higher rent for housing equipped with an ecological heating system. This means that pellet stoves can justify an increase in rent from 5 to 15 %, depending on the region. So why not take advantage of it?
