Just installed my breckwell p22 Freestanding this saturday. Last 2 winters in my house have been rough( elec baseboard elec bill averaging 500 a month!) Fired up the stove for a test run house went from 77 to 80 degrees in about fifteen minutes with the windows open and fans blowing. Decided to go with the freestanding unit because we already have a fireplace but an insert would have been too expensive. With the used stove nice hearth pad and all the vent piping (installed myself) came in at less than 1500 dollars. Winters here in the poconos are damn chilly and with my elec baseboard i kept my house at about 66 degrees. Now with the pellet stove hoping to keep it at about 72. CANT WAIT! Now i just need to load up on Pellets!

I got sick of freezing at 65F and paying the gas company $350.00 per month to do it.... now I keep the joint at 74F or so and it cost's me about $750.00 per season (plus a little for NG)... much better.

Me too. I had the oil burner stats set at 67 and was NOT a happy camper. Now, I enjoy the fire and the 70-71 temps, plus much less $$ for the winter heating season.

steady heat is more comfy even at a lower temp.

Sounds like us except we were burnng 100% oil to keep the house at 68. 925 gal/year heat & hot water
I was always cold and the walls were cold. 2X4 walls with minimum insulation.
I guess in 1968 oil was pretty cheap!
So now we run the downstairs between 72-75 and burn 3.5-4.0 tons.
Our oil usage has dropped by 500 gal/yr and I am WARM!
Est savings this year will be right around $300 based on oil at $2.30/gal and paying $199/ton for pellets

Enjoy the heat!!
