Pellet Fireplaces & Stoves in Cape Town

A pellet fireplace feeds compressed wood pellets from a hopper into a burn pot with an auger, and a fan controls the air. You set the temperature or a timer and the stove does the rest — no splitting logs, almost no smoke and very little ash.

Pellet stoves need a power point, and many have a fan that blows warm air into the room. Look at hopper size (how many hours one fill lasts), heat output in kW and whether you want Wi-Fi or a programmable timer. Allow roughly 1 kW per 10 m² of floor area.

Running costs are predictable: a stove on a medium setting uses around 1–2 kg of pellets an hour, and our 15 kg bags start at R158 incl. VAT. Keep a stock of sealed bags for winter.

Pellet fireplaces on this site start at R26,959 incl. VAT. They use a small-diameter flue and are installed to SANS 10400 Part V, with single-storey installation in Cape Town from R5,500. We install within 200 km of Cape Town — the City, Northern and Southern Suburbs, the Cape Winelands, Overberg and West Coast — and courier anywhere in South Africa.

Before ordering, check for a power point within reach and a clear route for the small flue through the wall or roof. Pellet stoves also need some space behind or beside them for servicing.
