Smoke alarm in Ingolstadt: Pellets heating triggers great use!

On Friday, March 28, 2025, there was an alarming smoke development in Nansenstrasse in Etting, a district of Ingolstadt, Bavaria. A resident who worked in the home office heard the smoke detector struck in the basement at 9:30 a.m. and immediately informed the fire brigade. This quickly moved out and was quickly able to identify a technical defect in the pellet heating installed there as a cause.

The emergency services, consisting of around 30 members of the professional fire brigade and the Etting volunteer fire brigade, immediately carried out ventilation measures to remove the smoke from the building. The heating was taken out and there was a review of further sources of danger. Fortunately, there was neither injuries nor was there any damage to the building during the mission. The use lasted about an hour and a technician was consulted to check the heating system in detail.

technical problems with pellet heating

Similar problems with pellet heating are not uncommon and are discussed in different contexts. An example of this can be found in the experiences of a user who has lived in a new building with a biotech toplight pellet heating for four months. There was also a strong smoke development in the heating room, which led to the entire house smelled of Rauch. This situation was not only a nuisance, but was also questionable because there is a 20 -month -old child in the house.

Although the developer and the heating engineer were informed about the problem, there was no significant solution. The heating engineer suspected a problem with the fireplace, which had already been examined by the chimney sweeper during the construction phase. The user found that Rauch escaped from the train limiter, which was originally set to 10 PA. After adapting to 20 PA, smoke development stopped, but there are concerns whether this higher setting could cause further problems.

recommendations for problem solving

In addition to the adjustments to the train limiter, it is recommended to check the chimney height and the insulation. The fireplace has a diameter of 14 cm and is made of ceramic. Discussions in the forum indicate that the train controller may not be adjusted or assembled correctly, which can lead to irregular combustion conditions. A review of the tightness of the smoke tube and the chimney train is also advisable to avoid future problems.

Experience from both Ingolstadt and other pellet users illustrate the need for correct installation and adjustment of pellet heating to ensure safe and efficient use.
