Ecoteck Silvia, Contemporary Pellet Stove

The Ecoteck Silvia is unique in the Ecoteck pellet stove range in that it is a pedestal type stove, although in a modern style. Made of fabricated steel, the front of the Silvia has an aluminised finish and a large viewing window, making it suitable for homes with a contemporary design.

Producing 48,000 btu. and able to heat up to 2,000 square feet, the Silvia is the second most powerful stove in the Ecoteck range, along with the Elena, and includes a humidifier tray to which natural oils and essences can be added.

The Silvia has a very low particle emission rate of 1.65 grams per hour and operates at an overall efficiency of more than 81%. Remote control, GPRS text message control and a wall thermostat are available as options.

The seven day programmable timer thermostat is supplied with the stove as is the FIREX 600 combustion chamber.
