2025 Pellet Prices

[Ocelot]

Same question here in CT. Right now oil price is only $2.66/ gallon and much less work than pellets. Pellet prices here are $409-$450/ton

Oil prices by me are $3.50 and seem to be rising. I live in rural NY State. Pellets are still cheaper for me. That said, I would use pellets even if the cost were similar. We're home all day, 7 days per week and like the toasty heat of the pellet stove, especially in the main part of our small house where we spend the most time. If we used the furnace, we would never get our living room as nice and warm as we do.

According the the $/MBTU and average prices according to the state, it looks like it is a toss-up between using the mini split and the pellet stove. I have used the mini split a couple of early mornings when the house got cold. But when it comes to actually needing heat, pellet stoves win for comfort. The only heat downstairs is pellet stove anyway - so at least one of the stoves is always running during winter. NG would be nice if it was actually available in my area. But I'm way far away and even if they started laying lines it wouldn't make it here in my lifetime.
