Pellet Fuel Pricing

The plot below shows changes in fuel pricing since 1999, with pellet fuel costs rising substantially slower than alternatives. Note: This graphic illustrates a percentage of change comparison, not a comparison of prices. Sources: NH Office of Energy and Planning and The Pellet Fuel Institute Updated 10/31/2007

Comparative Costs of Common Heating Fuels

Fuel Cost Comparisons

A fuel cost comparison spreadsheet is available online through the Pellet Fuels Institute. This on-line interactive form can help you make comparisons of relative fuel costs in your area for each of the following fuels:

Wood pellets or other biomass fuels Heating Oil Propane Natural Gas Cordwood Electrical Heating Coal

You will need to enter your local costs for the fuels you are considering. The PFI institute site reports �national averages�, but this data may not be current or appropriate for your area. Appliance efficiency also plays a role in cost-effective heating, and we are pleased to report that pellet stoves are generally among the most efficient heating appliances. We believe the PFI data for appliance efficiencies to be reasonable estimates, but can not guarantee they reflect efficiencies in your specific application.
