Pellet Stove Electricity Usage: What to Expect

That depends on your electric rate and your specific model. Most pellet stoves and inserts will use between 200 watts and 500 watts per hour.  Generally speaking, if you’re paying between 8ȼ – 10ȼ/kwh, expect to pay about 2 ½ȼ – 3ȼ/per hour to operate the electric motor, fan and circuit board.  That would translate to $20 – $25/month, if the equipment ran constantly, 24 hours a day for 30 days straight.
