That means components such as the igniter, exhaust blower, blower fan, auger motor, etc. are the things that consume more electricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As electricity is measured in kilowatts (kW) and usually costs between six and ten cents per hour. But it also depends on the area you live in. In some places, the prices must be high or low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Affecting_Electricity_Usage_of_Pellet_Stove\"><\/span>Factors Affecting Electricity Usage of Pellet Stove<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though pellet stoves are known for low electricity use, there are a few factors that can influence how much power they consume:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heat setting:<\/strong>&nbsp;Just like a light bulb, running your stove on a higher heat setting will naturally use more electricity to keep that fire roaring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Run time:<\/strong>&nbsp;The longer you use your stove throughout the day, the more electricity it will use to power the feeding system and fans. Colder days with longer heating times will see a slight increase compared to milder days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ignition cycles:<\/strong>\u00a0The igniter uses electricity to get the fire going. More frequent on\/off cycles throughout the day can contribute a small amount to overall usage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><em><strong>Bonus Tip:<\/strong> Regular maintenance of your pellet stove, like cleaning the hopper and exhaust vent, can also help it run more efficiently and potentially lower your electricity usage.

That means it would cost you approximately $10 only which is way better than buying those wood pellets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a 40-pound bag costs $4-$9, and a ton can range from $200-$380.
