What is your electric cost in terms of fans and combusting said pellets?

We didn’t notice a significant increase in the electric bill. The blower runs while burning, and shuts down shortly after. The model we have has a thermostat.

We have a 2-story, 2500 sq. Ft. House, but we put the stove in the corner of the side great room, which is way off center.

On a typical winter Massachusetts day, the great room will be 78, and the remotest room will be 63. Unlike a wood stove, the heat is remarkably even, since it’s convection versus radiation.

In January, when night time temps get into single digits, we’ll supplement with oil heat.

Any other questions, feel free to ask. I love not paying so much for heat!
