Switching from an oil powered boiler to a wood pellet boiler

Title: Switching from an oil powered boiler to a wood pellet boiler

Article:
I have been reading and listening to a lot of people going on
about Global warming and the need for us to switch to renewable
energies. Like most people I already own and live in a home that
uses and oil fired central heating system and im considering
changing to a system that is more environmentally friendly like
a Wood Pellet Boiler.

These Boilers use wood pellets that are made out of dried
recycled compressed sawdust from wood mills that otherwise would
end up in landfill.

Wood pellets are a type of wood fuel, generally made from
compacted sawdust. They are usually produced as a byproduct of
sawmilling and other wood transformation activities. Wood
pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a low
humidity content (below 10%) that allows them to be burned with
a very high combustion efficiency.

A large number of models of wood pellet stoves, central heating
furnaces and other appliances has emerged since about 1999. With
the surge in the price of fossil fuels in 2005, the demand has
increased all over Europe and a sizable industry is emerging.

With this in mind I have 5 important questions I need to answer.
Here are 5 important questions?

Question 1 Is a wood pellet boiler really an effective heating
system to replace my Oil or gas Fired Boiler?

Question 2 Will a wood pellet Boiler provide the same results as
my Oil Fired Boiler? ( to heat my home to a satisfactory level)
provide hot water, etc.

Question 3 How much will a Wood Pellet Boiler cost to install
and maintain?

Question 4 Will there be a constant supply of wood Pellet fuel
in the future and will its cost remain stable?

Question 5 Will a Wood Pellet Boiler replace my Oil fired Boiler
and also save money in the long run?
