There are two benefits of using a pellet stove.
The first and most obvious benefit is heat.
Using pellets as a primary source of heat, offers the homeowner much more flexibility during the heating season.
If you currently heat with oil or gas, the pellet stove option may save you money.
If the price of oil spikes again to $130 a barrel, it may save you a great deal of money! Having the option to heat your home with the lowest priced fuel, is a real sense of freedom.
The second benefit in heating your home with a pellet stove is that pellets are a green fuel.
While there is only so much oil in the ground, wood pellets are a renewable resource.
A few years ago this was not the case.
Pellet fuel seemed to be in short supply, and many homeowners stocked up thus the supply was at a all time low.
Fast forward to 2010 and the supply is much more abundant.
You will now see bags of pellets for sale in the most unlikely.
Just yesterday I saw a pallet of pellets for sale at a large chain grocery store! The price was much more than had you purchased in late fall, however in the North East we at the peak of our home heating season.
If you are feeling the financial crunch of heating bills with old fossil fuels, check out the pellet stove option.
It may help save you money, and you can help the environment!
