Phoenix FAQ
Phoenix Pellet Boiler Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about Phoenix 18, Phoenix 35, and Phoenix 50 pellet boilers for compact hydronic heating systems.
What is the Phoenix Pellet Boiler?
Phoenix is a compact high-efficiency wood pellet boiler for hydronic heating systems. It heats water for radiant floors, radiators, fan coils, air handlers, and indirect domestic hot water tanks when the system is designed for those loads.
Should I choose Phoenix 18, 35, or 50?
Use the specs table as the source of truth: Phoenix 18 is listed for up to 2,500 sq ft, Phoenix 35 is listed for up to 4,500 sq ft, and Phoenix 50 is listed for up to 5,600 sq ft. Final sizing should be based on heat loss, climate, insulation, water temperature, domestic hot water demand, and hydronic design.
Can Phoenix heat domestic hot water?
Yes, Phoenix can support domestic hot water through an indirect tank or approved hydronic design. Domestic hot water demand should be included in the system sizing from the start, alongside the space-heating load, since it affects hopper refill frequency and peak output needs rather than being treated as a separate afterthought.
How efficient is the Phoenix Pellet Boiler?
Phoenix is rated up to 96% efficiency. Real-world performance depends on pellet quality, chimney draft, hydronic water temperatures, cleaning, controls, and installation quality.
How much does it cost to run a Phoenix pellet boiler?
Running cost depends on pellet price, heat loss, climate, setpoints, and domestic hot water load, but Phoenix's up to 96% efficiency means more of every pellet's heat reaches your home instead of going up the flue. As a rough fuel comparison, burning 1 ton of wood pellets releases about as much heat as 3,527 lb of wood, 132 L of diesel fuel, or 181 L of oil. Compare fuel cost per delivered BTU alongside maintenance and installation quality when weighing Phoenix against oil, gas, or propane.
How long can the Phoenix hopper run between refills?
The specs table lists an average autonomy of 3 to 10 days per filling. Phoenix 18 and 35 use a 240 lb hopper, while Phoenix 50 uses a 320 lb hopper. Actual runtime depends on outdoor temperature, heat loss, setpoints, domestic hot water use, pellet quality, and how often the boiler runs at high output.
What fuel does Phoenix use?
Phoenix is designed for quality A-class wood pellets. It is not the same multi-fuel platform as Pellet Duo, so fuel quality and pellet storage are important for stable operation.
What does self-cleaning mean on Phoenix?
Self-cleaning support helps reduce routine cleaning work and helps keep performance consistent. It does not eliminate ash removal, vent inspection, pellet storage care, or annual hydronic service.
What installation requirements matter for Phoenix?
Plan chimney draft, combustion air, clearances, operating pressure, water temperature, pumps, controls, expansion tank, and code requirements before installation. A qualified installer should confirm venting and hydronic layout for the building.
How does Phoenix compare with Pellet Duo?
Phoenix is a compact, self-cleaning, wood-pellet-only boiler for homes, garages, workshops, and light commercial hydronic systems. Pellet Duo offers larger outputs, multi-fuel flexibility, and manual firebox options for projects that need more capacity or fuel flexibility.
How does Phoenix compare with ATLAS?
Phoenix and ATLAS are MBTEK's two compact pellet boiler lines, with closely overlapping BTU tiers — Phoenix 35 (120K, up to 4,500 ft2) covers nearly the same space as ATLAS 120K (up to 4,400 ft2). Phoenix costs more at every comparable tier, but adds self-cleaning support, app-based remote monitoring, and a higher efficiency rating (up to 96% vs. ATLAS's 94%+), plus a larger top tier — Phoenix 50 (170K BTU, up to 5,600 ft2) — that ATLAS doesn't offer. Both lines are wood-pellet-only, appliance-style units, distinct from the multi-fuel Pellet Duo platform. Confirm current pricing on the site, since promotions change.
