A "pellet stove" is a heating device that uses small cylindrical pellets known as wood pellets as fuel. Wood pellets are often produced secondarily from thinned wood or sawdust from manufacturing plants, which means they do not use fossil fuels like kerosene or gas, resulting in virtually zero CO2 emissions. Powerful warm air quickly reaches every corner of the room, and the radiant heat from the front of the unit gently warms the walls and ceiling, allowing the warmth to last longer. 【Features】 ■ Eco-friendly and clean heating device ■ Double effect of warm air and radiant heat ■ Low fuel consumption ■ Usable by anyone from the day of installation ■ Reduced risk of burns and fire accidents *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case of hybrid heating using a hot water pellet stove (EDILKAMIN IDROSALLY) in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. A customer who was using panel heaters for whole-house heating expressed a desire to "enjoy the flames of the pellet stove during the day while heating powerfully, and maintain low temperatures at night with the existing oil boiler." To ensure that the customer would not have to perform complex valve operations during the switch between the pellet and oil systems, we combined check valves and a sealed expansion tank while flowing the hot water piping from both the pellet and oil sides into a single set of branch headers. This was done after careful planning of the modifications. As a result, it became possible to utilize each heat source without the need for valve switching.

We would like to introduce a case of floor heating using a hot water pellet stove (EDILKAMIN IDROSALLY) in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. In general, pellet stoves provide heating through infrared radiation or convection heating with warm air. However, hot water pellet stoves can achieve "whole-house heating" by connecting heated water to panel heaters or floor heating systems, allowing for uniform heating over a wide area. This combination is particularly satisfying in rooms with high ceilings, as warming the floor provides a consistent heating sensation from head to toe. Additionally, since this location is at an altitude of 800 meters where oxygen levels are lower, we also adjusted the ignition timing parameters.

The husband is such an outdoor enthusiast that he even wants to have a bonfire in his own backyard. It seems that after seeing the flames of a stove at a community center he happened to visit, the idea of introducing a pellet stove gradually took shape. The house was built by a construction company that paid great attention to insulation, and it seems that heating with just the air conditioning would be warm enough. However, there is a desire to feel the warmth of flames in their daily life, and they often use the stove. *For more details of the interview, you can view the PDF.

The construction company contacted us, saying, "We would like you to plan for a pellet stove in the new house." When I looked at the blueprints, I saw a uniquely shaped building resembling the hiragana character "ku." At the top of this building, a stove is planned. It seems that in their previous home, they had been using a FF-type kerosene fan heater in conjunction with an air conditioner. However, with the recommendation of the design office for the new construction, they decided to adopt a pellet stove. The warm air generated by the stove gently spreads to the second floor, and when they ascend to the room after finishing their gathering, they are enveloped in a soft warmth. *For more details of the interview, you can view the PDF.

Last spring, I visited the home of a customer who had a pellet stove installed. I wanted to hear about their experience using it. Everywhere I looked, I saw devastated forests, and I had a desire to contribute positively to the natural environment. Initially, I considered a "wood stove," but due to the costs and other factors, I had to give up on that idea. Eventually, I heard good things about pellet stoves and decided to visit a showroom. An employee provided a clear explanation, including their personal experiences, and recommended a stove that would suit my home. I applied for a subsidy and had it installed at the entrance. I waited until autumn to light it. *For more details about the interview, you can view the PDF. Please feel free to contact us for more information.*

Mr. K from Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, used to be confident in his physical strength and would go sea fishing with heavy loads on his back. However, after experiencing health issues and being hospitalized following a vaccination, he began to be advised by his sons about roof snow melting systems. He researched various companies and came across "Hokuetsu Yusetsu" in his hometown of Tokamachi City. He thought that directly melting snow on the roof would be a better approach. After using the roof snow melting system for one season, he found that the dangerous work at heights was completely eliminated, and the physical burden was greatly reduced. Previously, he would handle the snow that fell to the ground with a snow removal machine, but now he uses a "snow dump" to transport the snow to a nearby river and wash it away. As a result, he didn't need to use the snow removal machine at all this season, and his sons are happy, saying, "Dad, this is really great!" [Benefits of Implementation] - No dangerous work at heights - Significantly reduced physical burden - No need for a snow removal machine *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We include questions such as, "What is the lifespan of a snow melting device?" and "Only the northwest part of the building still has snow. Is this a malfunction of the snow melting system?" Additionally, we answer questions like, "I heard that snow melting can cost tens of thousands of yen in January. I'm worried it's too expensive," and "I was told that the snow melting device needs to be inspected. Why is that?" Please feel free to download and take a look. [Content Highlights (Excerpt)] ■ Operating a snow melting device seems difficult... Can someone like me, who is not good with machines, use it? ■ I stop the boiler at night because I don't want to disturb my neighbors. Is that correct? ■ Roof snow melting causes "hollowing," so I need to go up on the roof and stomp on it, right? ■ I heard that snow melting can cost tens of thousands of yen in January. I'm worried it's too expensive. ■ I was told that the snow melting device needs to be inspected. Why is that? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (electric heater type, exposed method) installation. When constructing a new radiation therapy building on the grounds of a general hospital, we planned measures against snow eaves that were a concern for the flat roof perimeter. As a countermeasure against scattering due to strong winds, we adhered a special rubber-based adhesive to the parapet cap surface, and on the flat roof surface, we installed it in a linked manner using brackets, creating a beaded layout. Since the mat will be installed year-round on the rooftop, we adopted high weather-resistant products and designed it to allow for module-level replacement in case of future damage, enhancing the system's robustness. 【Case Overview】 ■ Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture ■ Heater mat ■ 77m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is an introduction to a case study of roof snow melting (hot water type, exposed method) at power-related facilities. Following the roof collapse accident at a power plant that occurred in 2017, measures to reduce snow load on roofs were implemented at various power-related facilities. In this facility, a combination of conventional sprinkling snow melting systems and manual snow removal was used, but the ability to sprinkle water onto the ground was also emphasized, leading to the selection of an exposed method using high-rigidity SGP piping on the roof. Despite the presence of many existing structures and a complex piping configuration, efforts were made to average the circuit lengths, resulting in improved melting efficiency. 【Case Overview】 ■ Tsunan Town, Niigata Prefecture ■ Kerosene Boiler ■ 477m2 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof and pavement snow melting (electric heater type, exposed method) in communication facilities. To protect the aluminum alloy housing of an unmanned exchange station from snow load, electric heater mats for snow prevention were installed around the roof perimeter. Mats were also laid in the vehicle access area and worker pathways, significantly reducing snow removal labor. In unmanned facilities and remote locations, electric heating (either heaters or heat pumps) is more suitable than boiler heat sources, which carry the risk of running out of fuel.

We would like to introduce a case study of surface snow melting (hot water type, buried method) at a senior complex facility. In the construction of a multi-purpose facility that includes serviced senior housing, day services, and childcare support, surface snow melting was planned to avoid hindering the parking and stopping of user transport vehicles, as well as to reduce the labor of the facility manager. Due to the difficulty of securing enough water volume to spray melt snow over a large area on a building facing a national highway, and considering that finishing the area from the parking lot to the entrance dry would be more user-friendly, a hot water snow melting system was adopted.

We would like to introduce examples of snow melting systems for roofs and pavements (hot water type, exposed method, buried method). In the process of rebuilding the office and fuel supply facility, it was necessary to establish a 24-hour system for receiving tank trucks, so we decided to melt the snow on the parking lot pavement and the office and canopy roof. Although it is a newly constructed building, the roof finish was corrugated metal, so we opted for the exposed method using SGP piping. Since the required temperature range for roof snow melting and pavement snow melting differs, we mixed the hot water from both piping systems to optimize the outlet temperature.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (hot water type, concealed method) installation. In the construction of a highly designed complex cultural facility, the design was progressing with a structural strength capable of withstanding 6 meters of snow. However, due to concerns about the impact of snow falling from the roof perimeter onto the surrounding area, it was decided to incorporate roof snow melting urgently. The concrete slab was partially hollowed out around the perimeter to install snow melting panels. Considering the long piping length and the evaporation of hot water due to induced lightning, aluminum composite three-layer pipes were used instead of copper pipes. 【Case Overview】 ■ Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture ■ Wall-mounted gas boiler ■ 477 m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (hot water type, concealed method) installation. We received a consultation from a quiet hot spring inn that is usually hit by over 2 meters of heavy snow each year, stating, "The roof snow melting system installed over a decade ago is not working well, and despite consuming a lot of fuel, it is not melting effectively. We would like some assistance." The heat source unit that was replaced a few years ago will continue to be used, but almost everything else, including panels, copper pipes, supply pipes, and controls, will be replaced. As a result, the entire roof has started to melt evenly, leading to a resolution of the issue. 【Case Overview】 ■ Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture ■ Kerosene boiler ■ 607m2 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of underfloor heating (water-based, embedded method). During a large-scale renovation of a traditional Japanese house, we received a request to maintain its old charm while also achieving comfort. We proposed underfloor heating by embedding cross-linked polyethylene pipes in the concrete floor and combining them with an oil boiler as the heat source. To reduce the heating load, we laid insulation material on the upper sub-base before heating, and meticulously sealed the gaps around the foundation before finishing the concrete. 【Case Overview】 ■ Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture ■ Oil Boiler ■ 47m2 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is a case study of delivering panel heaters to a lodging facility. When renovating a ski resort inn for foreign guests, the owner requested, "We want to achieve quiet and high-quality radiant heating throughout the entire building." Since the construction work had already progressed to the floor installation stage at the time of consultation, the plan was to install hot water panel heaters in each room. We delivered 27 panel heaters, particularly focusing on areas with higher heating loads, such as under and beside windows, along with a fan convector in the drying room, which has been well received.

We would like to introduce a case study of floor heating installation at a nursery in Kariwa Village, Niigata Prefecture. Initially, it utilized electric storage floor heating powered by nighttime electricity, but in response to changes in energy policy, it was renovated to a hot water floor heating system using a geothermal heat pump (HP) with a high coefficient of performance (COP). To maximize the high COP characteristic of the HP heat source, the outlet water temperature was set relatively low at around 45°C. However, to ensure effective heating performance, the installation combined high thermal conductivity radiation panels with copper pipes, which also have high thermal conductivity, achieving a surface temperature of 28°C. 【Case Overview】 ■ Kariwa Village, Niigata Prefecture ■ GeoHP ■ 864m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of road surface snow melting (electric heater type, exposed method) in a detached house. In a residence of an elderly woman living alone, the approach from the entrance to the front road was about 8 meters long and was originally equipped with a water sprinkling snow melting system. However, due to the slope, the snow did not melt uniformly. One winter, after she slipped and fractured her bone on the frozen entrance, she consulted us about wanting "something that melts reliably, not just water." We installed a snow melting mat that can be added only in necessary areas, ensuring her safety. 【Case Overview】 ■ Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture ■ Heater mat ■ 8m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the driveway and external parking space were snow melted using electric heaters in conjunction with the construction of a new residence. This area experienced heavy snowfall, exceeding 100 cm per day at times. However, since it was determined that installing a boiler was not preferable for an all-electric home, an electric system was chosen. The area exceeds 30 m², and considering the potential future burden of electricity costs and the possibility of a change in family structure leading to a decrease in the number of parking spaces, the circuit configuration allows for the driveway to be turned on independently. 【Case Overview】 ■ Tsunan Town, Niigata Prefecture ■ Heater Unit ■ 34 m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of road surface snow melting (hot water type, buried method) in a detached house. With the construction of a new building that combines a store and a residence, we planned snow measures for the customer parking lot. In the case of sole proprietors, if valuable time is taken away by snow removal, customer service may not be adequately provided, which seems to lead to many implementations in clinics, dental offices, tax accountant offices, beauty salons, and osteopathic clinics. In this case, due to the large area of nearly 100m2 and the favorable gas rate setting for snow melting in Ojiya City, we delivered a hot water system using a wall-mounted gas heat source.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (electric heater type, exposed method) in a detached house. After more than 25 years since construction, and with a house built next door, we received a consultation about wanting to take measures to prevent snow eaves from falling. Since the request was to limit the measures to the north side of the large roof, we installed a lightweight heater net afterward, successfully preventing the occurrence of snow eaves. With a capacity of about 300W/m2, we combined it with a type of controller that allows easy adjustment of the "remaining snow processing operation time" in case of any leftover melting snow, which has been very useful.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (electric heater type, concealed method) in a detached house. For small roof areas, combining PTC characteristic electric heaters with snow melting panels and using a concealed installation method can result in relatively low construction costs. PTC heaters have the characteristic of high output at low temperatures, with output becoming milder as the temperature increases, allowing for both fuel efficiency and overheating prevention. However, it is important to note that the breaker capacity needs to be about twice the rated output, and in areas with heavy snowfall in a short period, it may not keep up. 【Case Overview】 ■ Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture ■ PTC Heater ■ 21m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (hot water type, exposed method) for detached houses. For existing houses with new finishing materials or stainless steel sheet metal on the roof, the exposed method is suitable if you only wish to melt snow in specific areas. We manufacture fixed brackets according to the working width of the finishing materials and arrange stainless steel piping, which has excellent long-term durability, or SGP piping, which has excellent rigidity. Compared to the concealed method, the atmospheric radiation from the surface of the snow melting pipes is greater, so it is necessary to increase the temperature of the circulating liquid, which tends to increase fuel consumption by about 10%. 【Case Overview】 ■ Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture ■ Kerosene boiler ■ 134m² *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of roof snow melting (hot water type, concealed method) in a detached house. The hot water concealed method can be applied to both new and existing homes. In this case, the old roof metal was removed, and snow melting panels were installed. After 25 to 30 years of construction, the house itself begins to deteriorate, and family composition changes, leading to a lack of people available to remove snow, which often results in the choice of snow melting systems. In mountainous areas, snowfall can reach 3 to 5 cm per hour, resulting in heavy snowfall in a short period, so a powerful kerosene boiler is used as the heat source. 【Case Overview】 ■ Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture ■ Kerosene boiler ■ 119 m2 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
