Chopped!

[Creekheat]

Got our first electric bill with the wood stove in use. We only had it running for just under half the billing cycle but it chopped it in half! Can't wait till next month!

I'm assuming you must have been running electric heating before? Maybe geothermal? That's awesome with the savings you're seeing.

I just got my natural gas bill this last week, and it's less than half what it would run in these temps if I wasn't burning.

That is great! Gotta love a wood stove.

we're not often 24/7 burners, no need in our relatively temperate climate, but In the years B.S. (Before Stove) prior to 2014, we would fill our oil tank (Central heating and hot water) every six weeks when we got into typical Dec, Jan and Feb weather. I reckon we will need to fill it by about the end of March, for the first time in a year.

I know. We love it. And it's a much better heat imo.

My Wife has a coworker who has a 1,200 sq. ft. house with all electric, and told my Wife her bill this month was $800 .......my Wife appreciates the Insert even more when she hears these stories. We just got an Oil delivery.....total usage 77 gallons since October.....not great, but not bad also (including H/W)

Yep. They want everyone to be dependent. That's why the government hates wood.

I just checked the oil tank yesterday. Only used half tank of a 275 gallon tank of oil so far this year. Wouldve been on my 3rd with out my vigilant.
