At this point, \u2018all\u2019 that\u2019s left is the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, this is where a crucial part of the project comes into play. A correctly installed stove must operate safely, discharge flue gases properly, receive the air needed for combustion and comply with the applicable regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why installing a pellet stove is not a DIY job, but a task that must be planned and carried out by qualified professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing a pellet stove: an overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, the process involves five steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A technical site survey<\/strong> to assess the room, positioning, flue and air intake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Selection of the most suitable solution<\/strong> and preparation of a quotation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professional installation<\/strong> by a licensed contractor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Testing and first ignition<\/strong>, with verification of correct operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Handover of documentation<\/strong>, including the declaration of conformity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actual installation generally takes <strong>one working day<\/strong>; in more complex cases, two days may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a closer look at each stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Before installing the pellet stove: site survey and quotation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is not to bring the stove into the house, but to work out how to integrate it correctly into the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the technician checks during the site survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the site visit, the technician assesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the available space and the best place to position the stove;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the characteristics of the room to be heated;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the presence and condition of any existing chimney or flue;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the most suitable route for flue-gas discharge;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the combustion air supply system;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any connections required for a ducted or hydronic stove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site survey therefore helps determine not only <strong>how to install the stove<\/strong>, but also which configuration is best suited to the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An air stove, for example, has different requirements from a ducted model, designed to distribute heat across several rooms, or a hydronic stove, which can be connected to the home\u2019s heating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only after these checks have been carried out is it possible to provide a reliable quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Installatore Palazzetti\" class=\"wp-image-28245 lazyload\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Installatore Palazzetti\" class=\"wp-image-28245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=330%2C220&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=420%2C280&amp;ssl=1 420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=615%2C410&amp;ssl=1 615w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?resize=860%2C573&amp;ssl=1 860w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC4863-2-scaled.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Who can install a pellet stove? And who certifies it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking for information about installation, you\u2019ll often come across the term \u2018stove certifier\u2019. In reality, there is no need to bring in a second professional to certify the work after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You need a qualified installer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work must be entrusted from the outset to a company authorised under the <strong>local and national laws in force<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>carries out the installation in accordance with good practice;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>carries out the final checks;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tests the installation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>issues the relevant <strong>declaration of conformity<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A specialist retailer can guide you and coordinate the various stages, from the site survey to installation, but the documentation relating to the work is issued by the authorised company that actually carried it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What documents you should receive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the work is complete, the required system documentation must be provided, including the declaration of conformity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important document is the system logbook, which records the system\u2019s specifications and, over the years, the work carried out on it. You can also find details of this work, along with the spare parts used, in the Palazzetti app once you have registered your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The requirements relating to the logbook and any registers of heating systems may vary depending on regional or provincial regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, it is not enough for the stove simply to light: a correctly installed system must also be properly documented as per the relevant rules and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Flue system for a pellet stove: is it always necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the most frequently asked questions: <strong>can a pellet stove be installed without a smoke flue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is generally <strong>NO<\/strong> but exceptions depend on single situations and countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every pellet stove definitely requires a suitable system to discharge the products of combustion safely. The relevant technical standard for installing biomass-fuelled heating appliances is <strong>UNI 10683.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A wall outlet is not a substitute for a flue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flue system must be correctly designed and must carry the flue gases to the discharge point required by the regulations. It is therefore incorrect to interpret the term \u2018stove without a flue\u2019 as meaning that the stove can simply discharge flue gases through a pipe ending at the external wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if a smoke flue is already used?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This does not necessarily mean you have to start from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the house already has a fireplace, a flue or a service shaft, the technician can check its dimensions, materials, route and condition during the site survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where possible, the existing shaft can be lined by inserting a certified <strong>flue pipe<\/strong> suitable for the new appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also why two seemingly similar installations can have very different costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Combustion air supply: what changes with a sealed stove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combustion requires air, so the way in which this air is supplied must also be considered when designing the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In traditional stoves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technician must check that the correct supply of combustion air is ensured, taking into account the product, the room and the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In sealed stoves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sealed pellet stoves <\/strong>draw the air required for combustion directly from outside through a duct connected to the appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that the air in the room is not used for combustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly useful in modern buildings, passive houses and energy-efficient homes, where minimising uncontrolled air exchange with the outside helps maintain indoor comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palazzetti\u2019s sealed stoves, for example, draw combustion air directly from outside and are also designed for use in low-energy homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. How a pellet stove is installed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once all the preliminary checks have been completed, the actual installation can begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positioning the stove<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stove is positioned in accordance with the clearances and conditions specified by the manufacturer and the applicable regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting the stove to the flue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stove is then connected to the flue system, and the flue pipe is completed or installed as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting the combustion air supply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technician installs the system needed to ensure an adequate air supply, using different methods depending on whether the stove is sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any ductwork or plumbing connections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a ducted stove, a system must be installed to carry the warm air to other rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hydronic stove, on the other hand, requires connection to the home\u2019s heating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing and first ignition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once installation is complete, the system is checked and the stove is lit for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also when you\u2019ll be shown how to use the product and how to carry out the regular cleaning it requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How long does it take to install a pellet stove?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It usually takes <strong>one working day<\/strong> to complete standard installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work may take up to two days if it is necessary to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>build or adapt the flue;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>line an existing flue;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>install air ducting;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>carry out additional building work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work may take longer in more complex cases, for example when work is needed on the roof, the fa\u00e7ade or the communal areas of an apartment building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take from the site survey to the first ignition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to distinguish between the duration of the work and the overall project timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several weeks may pass between the site survey, quotation, product order and the installer\u2019s availability, particularly during periods of high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why it\u2019s best not to wait until the first cold spell to start planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. How much does it cost to install a pellet stove?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single installation cost that applies to every home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as fitting the appliance, the quote may include various other tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The main factors affecting the cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main factors that make a difference are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>whether or not there is a suitable flue;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the need to install a new one;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the length and complexity of the flue route;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any flue-lining work;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>work on the roof or fa\u00e7ade;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bricklaying work;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>air ducting;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>plumbing connections for hydro models;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>accessibility of the work area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A straightforward installation in a home that is already prepared will cost very differently from a project requiring a completely new flue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also worth paying attention to deadlines for state economic incentives and government subsidies that can be applied for when starting to execute installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why an on-site survey is needed to determine the true cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General estimates found online can only provide a rough indication of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An accurate quotation depends on the<strong> product, the property and the installation requirements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why an on-site survey remains the most reliable way to find out how much it really costs to install a pellet stove in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg\" alt=\"Stufa a pellet Margot - Palazzetti \" class=\"wp-image-28249 lazyload\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg?resize=1000%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stufa a pellet Margot - Palazzetti \" class=\"wp-image-28249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/magazine.palazzetti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0185-26-V04-SET-01-MARGOT-Post-03-2026_1.jpg?resize=860%2C860&amp;ssl=1 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. After installation: routine and specialist maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good installation is just the starting point. Proper maintenance is also essential to preserve efficiency, safety and performance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Routine cleaning: what the user needs to do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most frequent cleaning tasks are carried out by the user, following the instructions in the product manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the model, these may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cleaning the burn pot;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>removing ash;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cleaning the combustion chamber;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cleaning the glass;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>emptying the ash pan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain technologies can make these tasks much easier. On Palazzetti pellet stoves, for example, Speedy Clean makes the parts that need cleaning easier to access without dismantling components, while the Self-Cleaning System automatically cleans the burn pot. However, these features do not remove the need for the annual specialist maintenance required for the appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialist maintenance: when a technician is needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to routine cleaning at home, the stove needs periodic professional maintenance, generally scheduled at the end of or before the start of the heating season, in accordance with the manufacturer\u2019s instructions and applicable regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technician carries out a much more thorough cleaning of the appliance, checks the components and assesses the condition of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flue gas extraction system and the chimney must also be inspected and cleaned at the prescribed intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In everyday language, this service is often referred to as the stove\u2019s annual service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Flue-gas checks: how often are they required?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cleaning and maintenance of the stove must not be confused with the <strong>energy efficiency test<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The frequency for energy-efficiency checks are stated in national regulations dealing with systems of solid-fuel appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, each administrative area in any country may set specific procedures and requirements.
