This is our first year with our pellet stove and love it! So far we have used approx 250 gallons of oil (probably a bit less) for this winter and used the pellet stove to heat the house. Furnace just runs the hot water and a heater in the garage. For those of you who heat your house mainly with the pellet stove do you still get your furnace serviced in the spring? Not sure if I should bother since we didn't use much oil and was wondering what other people are doing. Thanks!
