Heating cost comparison
How much does it cost to heat a home with pellets, gas, a heat pump or electricity?
We compare the cost of useful heat delivered to the home, not just the fuel price. Change the heated volume and indicative heat demand to get a seasonal estimate.

How the index is calculated
The monitor reads publicly displayed prices from several Italian retailers. To prevent one retailer with many products from dominating the result, we first calculate a representative price for each source and then take the arithmetic mean of the source values. Where possible we use 15 kg ENplus A1 bags. Implausible values and total pallet prices are excluded.
How continuous is the update?
The check is automatic but not second-by-second. At most every 12 hours, when this page receives a visit, the system attempts to read the sources again. If a website is unavailable or changes layout, the last valid value remains visible rather than publishing an invented number.
Why pellet prices vary so much
Prices depend on season, order quantity, location, transport, promotions, origin and certification. An online price may apply only to one store or collection point. The index is therefore most useful for following direction and market level, not for promising the exact price in your town.
When is it best to buy pellet?
Pre-season offers can be attractive, but there is no guaranteed rule: stocks, availability and energy markets change. If you have a dry storage area, compare the final delivered cost rather than the bag price alone.
Do not look at price alone
Fuel quality matters to a pellet stove. Certification, ash, moisture and actual behaviour in the appliance affect cleaning and combustion stability. Saving a few cents may not be worthwhile if it creates more residue or maintenance.
EDILKAMIN
What type of pellet does Edilkamin recommend?
To avoid combustion problems and keep the stove running consistently, pellets should not be chosen on price alone.
- Manuals for several recent Edilkamin models specify A1 wood pellets according to UNI EN ISO 17225-2 (or an equivalent local standard).
- Diameter: 6 mm.
- Typical length stated in recent manuals: about 3–4 cm.
- Moisture: below 10% in recent manuals; Edilkamin’s information page describes low-moisture pellets, below 12%.
- Edilkamin indicates a lower heating value of about 4,000–4,500 kcal/kg and pellets made from untreated virgin wood, without glues or paints.
Always follow the manual for the specific model, as some appliances or generations may state slightly different values. Very dusty, irregular or unsuitable pellets can increase residues, dirty the glass and require different settings.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a 15 kg bag of pellet today?
The index above summarises the current sample. Your actual price can be lower or higher depending on location, brand, promotion and quantity.
Is this the official Italian average price?
No. It is a Caminetti-Stufe.com editorial index based on public online prices. The AIEL benchmark, when available, is displayed separately.
Does the price include delivery?
Not necessarily. Sources may refer to store collection, local sale or different transport conditions. Always compare the final delivered cost.
How often is it updated?
The system attempts a new reading at most every 12 hours when the page is visited and keeps the last valid data if a source fails.
How much does it cost to heat 250 m³ with a pellet stove?
It depends on the building heat demand and pellet price. The calculator uses the current pellet index and lets you select low, medium or high demand to compare the estimated seasonal cost with other systems.
Which pellets are recommended for an Edilkamin stove?
For many recent models Edilkamin specifies A1 wood pellets according to UNI EN ISO 17225-2, 6 mm diameter and low moisture. Always check the manual for the specific model.
