Just had a fill-up of oil. We burned 4.1 gal of oil per day since Dec 3, plus about a bag and half of pellets per day since our pellet stove was installed on Dec 23rd costing a total of an estimated $475 per month. I suppose that's relatively not too bad given we're heating hot water, got an old Peerless bolier, the brutal weather, a family of five, an old 2,000 sq ft house and rising costs. This does not include my electric space heaters for the kitchen and root cellar which I would assume cost about $25 per month to keep pipes from freezing and the kitchen at a reasonable temp in the morning. We've been keeping the house at around 68 - 70 degrees during the day and mid 60s at night. I'm guessing that the pellets are saving around at least $100, at most $150, for the period since installation. There were three weeks of oil only usage before the pellet stove was installed so I'm truly guessing on the savings aspect.
Kinda curious what others are burning/spending. I'm in upstate NY, Hudson Valley area, 80 miles north of the city.
