I'm not sure if I'm calculating this right but here goes. Based on weather records there were 899 degree days between 18 Nov and 18 Dec. I used 19 bags of pellets in that time keeping my place at 70 degrees, where I am comfortable. Thats 760 pounds of pellets devided by 899 degree days which equals about .85 pounds per degree day.
Last year there were 4900 degree days here. That would equate to 4,165 lbs or about 105 bags, a little over 2 tons.
My house is 1265 square feet in eastern Pa, mid eightys construction with newer windows and siding,decent insulation.
Sound about right?
