You'll see some questions and responses to this in the Boiler Room Section.
The short answer is yes, there are central heaters which burn pellets!
You'll see some brands listed like Harman and Pinnacle which are available now.

Sure is, I just added a Treager PB-150 boiler to my oil boiler.
Just turner down the oil boiler so it won't start unless the temp goes down to 120 deg. Then set the low limit for the pellet boiler at 140 deg. Haven't used a drop of oil since.
Got mine from Evergreen heat in Old Orchard. He'll answer any questions you have. He is a real good guy.

Rich -- what was you approx. investment in that setup (boiler + install). Not prying, just curious as to what the different options and costs are.
