I burnt 3 tons plus a few bags in a 1500sqft ranch. In NH you could probably use another ton. We heat the main floor with pellets but do a basement zone with oil. It's definitely warmer with the pellets.

Raised ranch with stove in basement. Approx 2k sqft. 165 bags so far. Lousy windows but good insulation. If you want to heat the same space your heating with the furnace, The best option is to sister in a pellet/multifuel furnace. Pellet stoves are space heaters and may have issues spreading even heat about the house.
Lots of variables to look at, But using a fuel calculator might get you close with comparing to other fuels. You will most likely use more pellets as most tend to keep the house warmer with pellet heat.
