Hello
Since Oil has gone up approx $1.00 a gallon and Wood Pellets have gone down approx $1.00 per bag this winter, there is no question about cost savings!
Here are 2 interesting case studies

Paying $200/ton for pellets is the same as paying…
• $1.67 per gallon for heating oil
• $1.18 per gallon for propane
• $12.50 per (1,000 ft3) for natural
gas
• $0.04 per kWh for electricity
For heating, one ton of
wood pellets equals…
• 120 gallons of heating oil
• 170 gallons of propane
• 16,000 ft3 of natural gas
• 4,775 kilowatt hours (kWh)
