Customer Success Stories
Hey, my name is Eric from Michigan with my MBTE 50 Phoenix boiler. This is the 170K unit. I'm using this for in-floor heat in my Barndominium, which is a 3,000 square foot home here in Michigan, which gets down to 5 degrees. And this just keeps up with my home. It does no problem heating a big two-story 3,000 square foot home. I love it. If you're looking to be off-grid, this is a good option for you.
Keeps my home warm with no problem, even at 5 degrees
Hear how Eric from Michigan heats his 3,000 sq. ft. Barndominium with a Phoenix pellet boiler.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the Phoenix Pellet Boiler?
Phoenix is a compact mono-block hydronic boiler that automatically feeds and modulates A-class wood pellets. It combines a built-in hopper, self-cleaning support, and Android/Apple app control.
Should I choose Phoenix 18, 35, or 50?
Phoenix 18 covers up to 2,500 ft², Phoenix 35 up to 4,500 ft², and Phoenix 50 up to 5,600 ft². Square-footage ranges are approximate; final sizing depends on heat loss, insulation, climate, and system design.
Can Phoenix heat domestic hot water?
Yes — Phoenix can support domestic hot water when connected to a correctly sized indirect water heater tank as part of the hydronic system.
How efficient is the Phoenix Pellet Boiler?
Phoenix is rated at up to 96% efficiency, depending on model and operating conditions.
How much does it cost to run a Phoenix pellet boiler?
Operating cost depends on local pellet price, building heat loss, weather, and setpoints. Phoenix's automatic modulation and up-to-96% efficiency are designed to reduce wasted fuel, but a site-specific estimate requires actual load and fuel-cost data.
How long can the Phoenix hopper run between refills?
Published autonomy is 3–10 days. Actual refill frequency depends on model, hopper size, outdoor temperature, building load, and operating schedule.
What fuel does Phoenix use?
Phoenix requires A-class wood pellets. It is pellet-only, not the multi-fuel platform used by Pellet Duo.
What does self-cleaning mean on Phoenix?
Self-cleaning support reduces routine hands-on ash and combustion-area maintenance. It does not eliminate periodic inspection, ash removal, flue cleaning, or scheduled professional service.
What installation requirements matter for Phoenix?
Plan model-specific boiler-room space, chimney draft and diameter, combustion air, electrical service, hydronic connections, water pressure, and service access. Final installation must follow the Phoenix installation guide and local codes.
How does Phoenix compare with Pellet Duo?
Phoenix emphasizes a compact layout, pellet-only operation, self-cleaning support, and app control. Pellet Duo is the fuel-flexible choice: it can automatically burn pellets, grains, corn, or biomass, and selected models also include a manual log firebox.
How does Phoenix compare with ATLAS?
Both are compact pellet boilers. Phoenix offers a larger hopper, up to 96% efficiency, self-cleaning support, and app control; ATLAS is the lower-cost, appliance-style option with a 99 lb hopper and over 94% efficiency.
