I have a split level house, and my stove is on my main (or 3rd out of 4 half levels). I have a boiler furnace which runs my lower level (family/tv room on level 2, basement is level 1 and has no heat. other than what the furnace throws off) as well as supplies my hot water. I haven't had a fill up since November and was about 1/2 tank down in my 275 gal oil tank.
Ouch.
124 gallons at 3.73 = 463 just to have hot water and keep that lower level on 55 most the time (i rarely use the room and keep it at 55 when not in use). 95% of the rest of the heat has been from the stove, at a cost of 2.6 tons at $245 / ton average = $637
So, its 637 for 2/3 on pellets around 65-ish
and 463 for 1/3 on oil around 55 ish
I don't know why more people don't get on this train.
Now, to pay this damn oil bill...............
