Pellet stove is less than half cost per BTU of heat. Pretty simple install. Could pay itself off during this season. Oil baseboards still good for baseline heat. I keep mine in low 60s and pellet more on demand. They burn cleaner and mire efficient on higher settings. Check for drafts as well as others stated.

I used 90 gal in 2000 sq ft house with uninsulated crawl space in 2 month and less than half a ton of pellets.

I second this.

I got a steal on pellets at 4 bucks a bag the end of summer.

I burn roughly a bag per day. So 4x30 =120 per month. Way cheaper than oil and the house is actually warm.

The oil furnace is set to 55. I don't like to turn the stove on when I'm not home. We have used less than a quarter tank since November
