Again, that's just to run the boiler. I know its hard to believe but it's correct. However I do have 4 tons of pellets on the way only because my wife and I both love heat quality of the stoves.
Thanks Paul,

Seriously thinking about going the Mitsubishi split system at my main home as an add on to my hot air oil system. Since I already have the duct work in the house I’m hoping the savings for that makes the pay back time worth it. The AC portion is just a bonus! The house is pretty new and very energy efficient...
