This is my fourth season burning pellets. I have left the stove running when we have been away overnight. In the middle of March, we will be going to Atlanta to visit my son for 5 days. The real cold days of winter will be over, but will still be cold. I know I can get the neighbor to fill the pellet hopper when I am gone. I have a forced hot water system, that now is the backup to the pellet stoves.
My question, should I run the forced hot water with the thermostats turned way down or should I run the pellet stove? I have two stoves, but only will be running one. I keep the stove maintained and clean. I also have house insurance! Ha Ha. It will kill me to turn the oil on, as I have not so far this year. I need an unbiased answer. I guess I could gamble and leave everything off also.
