How much energy used for heat todate.

House about 1400 sq ft. Started with 4 ton and a full tank of oil. Used oil heat and turn off stove like tonight when it is cold as wife doesn't like the cold upstairs when using only pellet stove. Have about half pellets left and about 3/4 tank full of oil. Use oil hot water and have run the oil heat for about 7 nights for heating. I have used more pellets so far this year compared to last.

About 1800 Sq. Ft. ranch style house used about 2.25 tons so far. I know I have only used about 40 Gallons of oil. Oil is primarily used for heating the water and offsetting the pellet stove on really cold nights.

This is my second year burning pellets--last year we had a late start since our stove was only installed mid-November. I've burned about 3 tons (~$840) and about 325g of Oil (1 full tank and a quarter of another) this year. I still use oil to heat my upstairs and hot water. The upstairs is always set to 65 deg F but the pellet stove does little to heat it. I'm hoping that some final insulating will cut down the oil usage some more.

Just went past 1 1/2 tons last week. So far so good, my 3 tons should be plenty to last me.

Fired up the stove in October...I've burned two tons and twelve bags so far. My usage is up a little since I'm home full time right now and I like the house a little warmer. I used 3 1/2 tons + last season Oct-April.

2200 sq ft, and 2.5 tons burned so far since oct.............the electric heat doesn't get turned on!!

Roughly 1500 square foot house and I've burned half a tank of oil (that was purchased for under $2.00 a gallon) and a little under a ton of pellets. Was using the oil heat when the grandchild was crawling around and pellets when the grandchild was not here. Now that oil has gone UP in price and pellets have gone DOWN, a little gate around the stove means I'll be burning more pellets. Since someone here turned me on to the Okanagans, and I was able to purchase them at $219 a ton, I'm gonna be able to walk around in my underwear inside the rest of the winter (and NO! I'll not be posting pictures)

heating 3300 sq. ft. in western pa.with harmon pf100 furnace and not turning on the oil at all so just the pellet furnace doing all the work I've burned 4 3/4 tons so far keeping the house nice and toasty , will turn on oil only after the weather starts to warm(shoulder season). I purchased this home almost two years ago just before oil went over $4.00 a gallon and thought I have to do some other form of heat and winter was coming fast. Needing a new chain saw, not having my own truck to haul,or splitter for wood,and needing a liner in chimney that would of added up to more than the pf100 and it does not need a chimney so it was a no brainer. I would hate to see my heating bill just using oil even now at under $3.00 a gallon,guess I'll never know unless oil goes below $1.60/gallon so for now it pellets for me.

Hey "Ladderlieu" send(by PM only please!) BTU some picture's of you running around in your undies. Then he will really Thank You! :lol:

I am at just over 2 tons to date. All Electric house but never use the electric heat. Burned a bit of wood during a power outage a few weeks back. But other than that all pellets heating my 2000 sqft raised ranch.

180 gallons of propane, 3 tons of pellets. 2000 sq ft ranch. House is between 55*-60* all season. Pellet stove is problem after problem right now. Once it's fixed I'm hoping it will warm up in here and be alot more efficient.

Hey... Might help sales of the Okanagans AND BVD's at the same time! BRILLIANT

Not counting so don't have an exact number but would
say somewhere around 70 bags used this season.

1500 sq ft Cape. Started with 4 tons of pellets and full tank of oil. Currently used 2 tons of pellets and 1/4 tank of oil since Nov. 1st.

Your sig. Is that PC legal, lol.

1300 square foot house. We bought 3 tons for the season and used 80 bags so far! We bought NEWP this year and they are much better than the Keystone we purchased last year! Looks like we might have pellets left over this year!

She did what the makers of PC's should all do....run Mac software. Once you go Mac, you never go back! ;-)

I run Karmic Koala and don't need no stink'n proprietary closed software.

Somewhere around 150 bags so far and slightly less than a 1/4 of a tank of oil keeping the garage and hot water heated. 2688 square feet of heated home.

Exactly half way for me. Winter's about half done by the calendar and I've burned half my pellets. Tomorrow I finish the last bag of my two tons of Okanagans and open the first bag of my two tons of NEWP. And now I know how many pellets I need for a season. Four tons a year will do me.

Like most people here, I'm happy with the Okanagans. BTU is a persuasive and helpful sales guy but he really does have a very good product. Of the ones I've tried, probably only Rocky Mountain pellets seem identical. What I like best is decent heat and zero problems. Just clean the stove periodically and dump in the next bag of pellets.

This has been a pretty mild winter. I'm heat 2500 sq ft. Starting in early Oct., I'm only burn 124 bags. Took the first bag off the 3 remain tons sitting in my garage this morning. I'm projecting I'll have almost a ton and a half left over this year (I buy 5 ton).

4600 sq ft 66-70 degrees depending on outside temp burning 1 ton per month
electric back-up set at 66 runs couple times at night when it goes below twenty degrees
overall great purchase, havent paid more than 199 per ton for pellets
so very cost effective

Just took an inventory since I have five tons being delivered tomorrow. Looks like I've used about 3 1/4 tons this year. Just thoroughly cleaned my satiated stove.

I think I've supplemented with oil heat about 3 or 4 nights this season...fortunately, we had some warm weather at the tail end of January.

Just prior to the cold weather, we added an insert upstairs. Felt good to turn the oil off as opposed to down. Not sure if I'll ever see a financial ROI from the second stove...but it is great not to have to rely on the oil company and we are getting alot of enjoyment out of the fireplace now.
