I’ve had this dream that when I walk into my house I am going to be met with a warm burst of air from a fireplace. (anyone else want that?)
Well, the problem with fireplaces is that you have to always have burnable wood, and my fireplace is no where near my door- It’s in the living room.
My house was built in 1984, but it’s a New England home, in the second oldest town in the Commonwealth of MA. So most homes run on oil and not natural gas. Same goes for my house. I have forced hot air that’s run by oil on the top two floors of the house and then in the basement I have electric heat (which is also expensive if you keep it on and running all the time).
In the winter most people fill up their oil tanks every 2-3 weeks. And when I fill up my oil tank with 150 gallons, it’s at least $380. Talk about a stab to the heart. And it goes SO quickly!! God forbid I wash dishes and take showers with hot water, but in the winter it’s like a black hole of money going out of my pocket and into the hands of the oil companies.
That’s when I started looking into pellet stoves. Because pellet stoves you can keep running all day and night (until the stove runs out of pellets), but then to change them out you just put more in. Once a week you have to clean out the stove, but that’s no big deal.
That’s when I started looking online and found one that was small, but MIGHTY on Wayfair.com (See Below)
The reviews were good, and it fit perfectly inside the entranceway to my house.
Cost: approximately $1200. I think they’ve sold out of the exact model I bought but here’s a link to one very similar in size and price
