I am always searching for ways to be more responsible to the environment while also not breaking the bank.  For most households, their biggest expense during these cold winter months is heating.  Unfortunately, heating homes can also be one of the biggest contributors to environmental pollution too.

A popular heating alternative is a pellet stove.  Pellet stoves cost {on average} 44% less than oil, 47% less than electric and 53% less than propane heat.  Plus, biomass fuels used in pellet stoves are composed of renewable, carbon-neutral products so they are extremely environmentally friendly.  You can learn more about pellet stoves here

Another perk of pellet stoves: The federal tax credit on 75% efficient biomass heating appliances was reinstated on January 2, 2013.  The bill includes a "tax extender" which provides a tax credit for qualifying biomass-burning stoves. The credit is 10% of up to $300 on a qualified biomass heating appliance purchased between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2013! That makes a pellet stove an even better way to save on home heating costs.

One of the leaders in pellet stoves is Harman Pellet Stoves.  Dane Harman designed and built his first Harman stove in 1979 in an effort to reduce his family's heating costs. Now, after more than 3 decades, the Harman brand has 36 models of heating equipment including pellet stoves, inserts and home heating units.
