Oil pricing is on the rise again, and futures markets project continued increases through this winter, when home heating oil will take a toll on many homeowners’ pockets. A renewable alternative is wood pellet heating fuels, which are domestically produced, carbon neutral, and have saved consumers as much as thousands of dollars a year in heating bills. What’s even better is that Uncle Sam will now pick up 30 percent of the cost of a new appliance through tax credit provisions in the recent Stimulus Bill.

Early spring is the best – and most cost effective- time of the year to purchase wood pellets, according to the company that delivered more of the renewable heating fuel than anyone else last year — and by a wide margin.

“When we’re able to secure supply for our customers earlier, we’re able to save money and pass the savings on to them,” said Jon Strimling, President and CEO of PelletSales.com, based in Goffstown, New Hampshire.

Historically, wood pellet pricing has increased through late spring and fall as transportation fees increase and demand rises, Strimling said.

But despite the normal, seasonal trends in wood pellet pricing, consumers can be assured that the prices will not fluctuate as much as oil has in the past.

“In the past 20 years, wood pellets have remained remarkably price stable, while oil has fluctuated greatly,” Strimling said. “Not only are the oil-producing companies often in significant political and cultural conflicts, but the entire world is in great economic turmoil. With wood pellets, consumers can have peace of mind because their heating fuel costs aren’t subject to foreign variables and potentially warring regimes. We aren’t sure when oil price will rise, just that they will rise.
