I am with you. I made the switch this last september and have no regret. Harmon p43 was 4k, which comes with a great warranty. Even paying winter prices for pellets, I will start seeing a return on investment early next winter. These are eligible for a substantial tax credit.

1500 sq foot home. Keep it on half power from 6am- 2 pm and then on the lowest setting until the following morning. About 1 to 1.25 bags used per day.

I would recommend having a building or a good place to store the pellets. With that being said, I do see people just pulling bags off a pallet in their yard.

As someone who had to vacuum out a gross bag of moldy pellets that had been waterlogged, I completely agree with you on finding a dry spot to store.

It took hours to get all the gunk out and get it working again.

I made the mistake when we first moved in and I found a bag of pellets out back. Big mistake 🤣
