When the temperatures are high, heating your home might be the last thing on your mind—but summer is actually the smartest time to order heating pellets and firewood in New Jersey. Waiting until the chill sets in can leave you facing price hikes, longer delivery times, or even empty inventory. That’s why savvy homeowners use the warm-weather months to plan ahead.

At NJ Pellets and Firewood, we deliver seasoned hardwoods and premium heating pellets across the state. Here’s why you should place your order now—long before the first frost hits.

1. Get the Best Prices Before the Fall Rush

Once September rolls around, demand spikes. That means:

Prices go up
Delivery slots fill quickly
Supply may run low

When you order heating pellets in summer, you’re not just getting ahead—you’re saving money. Many suppliers raise rates as demand increases in fall and winter. Lock in early-season pricing while inventory is still full.

2. Enjoy Priority Delivery on Your Terms

Beat the seasonal backlog by choosing your ideal delivery window now. Summer delivery comes with benefits:

Flexible scheduling
No snow or ice to block access
No last-minute scrambling when cold weather hits

Plus, when you order heating pellets or firewood early, you’re guaranteed a spot on our delivery route—before our trucks get booked solid.

3. Give Your Fuel Time to Breathe and Season Further

While our heating pellets are ready to use year-round, firewood—even when seasoned—benefits from some extra time in a well-ventilated space. When you order in summer, your firewood:

Gets additional drying time before use
Reaches peak burn quality by winter
Burns hotter and cleaner with lower moisture content

That means more efficient heating and fewer issues in your stove or fireplace.

4. Prep Your Storage Space Before It Gets Cold

One overlooked benefit of ordering early is having the time to properly:

Clear out and clean your woodshed or storage bin
Stack your firewood or pellets with good airflow
Create a barrier between the fuel and damp ground

When winter arrives, you’ll thank yourself for having everything neatly stocked and ready to go.

5. Avoid the Winter “Sold Out” Sign

By mid-season, many homeowners find their supplier is completely out of stock—especially during extended cold snaps. Avoid that risk entirely by planning ahead.

At NJ Pellets and Firewood, we maintain high-quality inventory through the season—but ordering now ensures you’re not left scrambling.
