So bummed...
I put in my pellet stove insert last month (p35i) in my raised ranch home (1700sq ft heating floor) hoping to drop my natural gas heating costs.
On weekdays I run it when I get home from work til I go to bed 4pm-midnight and from 9am to midnight on the weekends. When the stove runs, the furnace does not.
I went though about a half ton over the last month (approx $100)
Got my Consumers (Electricity and natural gas) bill for the last month. $244 (14.2MCF). Down from 295 (18.6MCF) this month last year. So it dropped $50, but I burned $100 in pellets.
Granted the living area is much warmer with the zoned heating, but the rest of the house is colder (bedrooms and for sure the basement).
Not to mention the cost of the stove. I like my stove, but what a disappointment.
