Finding the Real Cost of Pellet Stoves

Expert Author John Catech

 One might look only at the base price of the pellet stove. This is a mistake because there are a few other costs which must be factored in. Even in the base price, there are a few considerations which will help you to enjoy a better price on the stove you purchase.

Cost Based on Location

Purchasing in the northwest region of the United States will find a much more reasonable price than those in the southeast region. This is based simply on volume. Those in the colder climate regions will likely have authorized dealers in the same town. These dealers will often provide you with free delivery to your home with the price of the stove. In order to get something close to this pellet stove price, someone in a warmer region will have to pay for the shipping costs.

Base Price

The  price will depend on the "bells and whistles" you add on. Things like blowers and exhaust fans will drive up the price. If you want an automated stove with a thermostat, it will cost you extra. The base price of the average pellet stove will run between $1,700 and $3,000. When purchasing from any dealer, online or otherwise, it is a good idea to make sure that they are an authorized dealer. If they are not, you may be stuck with a unit that is no longer protected by a warranty. This will cost you even more in the long run.

Installation Price

Another very important factor in the cost is the installation. It is recommended to pay the $150 to $400 for the installation of your stove. This is because you will be able to have the stove installed correctly. While many believe they have the ability to install the stove on their own, safety dictates you should allow a professional to do it for you.
