Doesn't sound like solar or the pellet stove are very economical then. My husband had wanted to try a pellet stove, but I'm glad we didn't buy one. We have a 3400 square foot house here in the Northeast and our gas bill was $150 and electric was $80 for January so I'm thankful.
Got our latest gas/electric bill today. It is $185.Last months gas/electric bill was $189. We haven't gotten the most recent one, yet. Should be soon, though.
