We very seldom see temperatures that low. In fact its been a few years since its been that cold here.
I think we'll still have to use our pellet stove from time to time. This unit uses 1500 watts total at its max so that would figure out to a tad less that 3 dollars a day at the coldest it will work in. I'd say our medium temperature here is somewhere around 40 degrees so it should save us quiet a few bucks a season.
we pay 9 cents a KWH here
