Cheap pellet stoves just got a whole lot cheaper. The three pellet stoves featured on
this page range in price from $1199 - $1399 - which is pretty cheap by any standard.
But when you deduct the 30% Federal energy tax credit, cheap just got cheaper by as
much as $420. And if your State or County government has some type of energy
efficiency rebate program in place you could benefit even more.
So why are these pellet stoves so cheap?
1. Lack of Adornment As you can see from the pictures below, none of these stoves
is trimmed in brass or painted a designer color. If you've been shopping for pellet
stoves or inserts then you already know that upgrading to brass trim on just the door
can add $300 to the price.
2. No Bells and Whistles Although all of these stoves has automatic ignition, they lack
the sophisticated electronics of more expensive models. This is not necessarily a
drawback when you consider the finicky nature of some stoves with electronic
controls; not to mention the hundreds of dollars it costs to replace the master control
module if it fails.
The lack of electronics also makes these units less convenient to operate. For
instance, if you want to adjust the temperature you have get up and turn a knob
instead of using the remote control.
3. Demand is Down Pellet stoves and inserts are still enjoying brisk sales, but it
would be hard to top last year's activity spurred on by $4.00 a gallon heating oil.
This presents an opportunity to take advantage of the situation before the economy
heats up once again and reignites the demand for fossil fuels.
