Gents,
I’m currently running a pellet stove in a house with a pretty open floor plan with two stories. Also burn about 300 gallons of oil a year for mainly the upstairs and domestic hot water. My house has hot water baseboard with an oil burner. Would it make sense to replace my 8 year-old oil burner with a pellet boiler? I would also use it to heat my domestic water. Right now I tend to keep the upstairs and basement pretty cool to avoid the cost of oil. I’m thinking I could keep all levels of the house warmer with a pellet boiler as it should be cheaper to heat with than my oil burner. I’m hesistant to use it for domestic water heating though. I don’t want to be without hot water because I have a problem with my pellet boiler. More confident in the reliability of my oil burner I guess. Thoughts?
