After several years of planning and piling up wood in the backyard, we finally got our wood stove installed in mid-December. I was out of town at first so we started burning more or less full time about December 18th. Today we received the february electric bill which included an actual measurement of the KWH used so we can compare our current electric use with our use before the stove was installed. The January bill was based on estimated electric use - estimated based on last year, apparently. The bill is pretty confusing, but among the bits of information I can glean from the bill it appears our electric use from Dec 13, 2009 through Feb 13, 2010 was about 13,000 Kilowatt-hours (KWH). At the current price of $0.0712 per KWH that would have been $925.60 of electricity. This year for the same period we used about 4,300 KWH less electricity, saving $306.16 over the two months, or about $150 per month. Not bad for a stove that cost us about $1100 to install after the 30% tax credit. Since December we have burned about 2 cords of mixed wood. Our stove is located in a furnished walk-out basement and the house is laid out in a way that makes it hard to move the heat around. We could probably do even better if the stove was more centrally located.
