Considering Alternative Heat Sources in NH: Infrared Heaters vs. Pellet Stoves

In summary, Pampered Chef offers a variety of alternative heat sources, including stovetop griddles, electric griddles, grill pans, microwave cookers, and slow cookers. These products are designed for convenience and energy efficiency. The electric griddle is easy to use, while the microwave cooker is versatile but not suitable for crispy foods.

We live in NH and are thinking about some alternative heat sources. We belong to an energy coop and are getting our oil $.21 below customer price.

The coop is offering a deal on pellet and wood stoves. We were thinking on putting in a pellet stove but the entire cost to order, deliver, install, get pellets etc. . . may run us about $3000.

My friends are all going to invest in these "new" infrared space heaters. They heat 1000sf, cost between $300-400, are supposedly ultra safe, AND only increase your electric bill slightly.

I guess my question is does anyone have experience with these infrared heaters, how well do they heat, how much did you save on oil, how much did electric bill go up?

Any info would help, thanks,

My friend has a pellet stove and loves loves loves it. She says it heats great and is very happy she made the purchase.
 
We have an outdoor wood furnace. It was a bit of an expense at first, but it paid for itself in less than 3 years.

And we LOVE IT :love:
 
We have a pellet stove (actually two) one in our up stairs living room as an insert in fireplace and another in our family room in basement a free standing stove.
Our furnace went out end of spring, still cold out, and the stoves were the only source of heat. They worked great, we are thinking of just heating with those this year and only using the furnace as a second alternative.

One of my clustermates (although not in my personal line) has a pellet stove and loves it. She uses it as the only source of heat in her house.

Slow cookers are a great alternative heat source for busy households. They allow you to prepare meals in advance and have them ready to eat when you come home. They also use less energy than traditional ovens and stovetops, making them a more environmentally friendly option. Plus, the low and slow cooking process helps to bring out the flavors in food.
