Pellet Stoves for Home Heating

Looking for a pellet stove near you?

If you're searching for a pellet stove store near you, here's the straight comparison. StoveSource is an authorized ComfortBilt, Drolet and Englander dealer shipping to every address in the continental United States, with no sales tax in any state and free curbside freight on orders over $250. Stoves start at $1,899 for the ComfortBilt HP50S and run to $4,899 for the ComfortBilt HP75C, with the HP22 at $2,399 and the Englander 25-CBPAH at $2,199.

Two honest caveats specific to pellet stoves. You'll be buying fuel locally regardless of where the stove comes from, so check what a ton of pellets costs near you before committing. And a pellet stove needs an end-of-season cleaning every year — straightforward to do yourself, but if you'd rather hand that to someone, line up a local technician before the first cold snap. If neither of those is a problem, ordering online gets you the full model range at a delivered price with no tax added at checkout.

How delivery works

Pellet stoves ship by tractor trailer and are delivered curbside. When your stove reaches the local freight terminal the carrier calls to book an appointment, normally a four-hour window on a weekday. The driver arrives with a lift-gate truck and lowers the crated stove at the end of your driveway. Curbside delivery does not include moving it inside, uncrating, or installation. Full detail is in our delivery guide.

Hopper size, venting run and floor protection are where most first-time pellet buyers go wrong. Call 1-888-914-0022 or email info@stovesource.com and we'll work through it with you. Found a lower advertised price elsewhere? See our price match guarantee.

Bundles, inserts, and clearance

Several models are also sold as money-saving bundles: the ComfortBilt stoves pair with a matching hearth pad, and the Drolet ECO-55 comes with a ground-floor or basement venting kit already matched to the stove. If you're fitting an existing masonry fireplace instead of standing the stove on the floor, see pellet and wood inserts. For this month's reduced prices, check the wood and pellet stove clearance sale, and for a model-by-model breakdown read our guide to every ComfortBilt model or our best pellet stoves guide.

What you'll need for installation

Pellet stoves vent differently from wood stoves — they use sealed 3" or 4" pellet vent pipe, which can run horizontally through an exterior wall rather than requiring a full vertical chimney. That's what makes them practical in homes without an existing flue. You'll also want a hearth pad rated for your model and the clearances listed in the owner's manual — see our clearance guide. Every product page lists that model's clearance requirements and recommended accessories.

Comparing pellet stove brands

Premium pellet brands sell at a considerable markup over the value lines, and it isn't always obvious what the extra buys. Our Quadra-Fire vs ComfortBilt comparison puts the two against each other on output, hopper size, and running cost, and the Lopi vs Drolet and ComfortBilt guide extends that across both fuel types. If you're replacing an older discontinued unit, our guide to discontinued Englander stoves covers the 25-PDVC and its current successors.

Pellet stove FAQs

How is a pellet stove different from a wood stove?

A pellet stove feeds itself from a hopper and runs on a thermostat, so it holds a set temperature without you tending it — but it needs electricity to run the auger and blower. A wood stove needs no power and burns firewood you may already have. Our pellet stove vs wood stove comparison covers the trade-offs in detail.

How long does a hopper of pellets last?

It depends on hopper size and how hard the stove is working. Run times in the table above are the manufacturer's maximum figures, measured on the lowest setting — expect shorter intervals on a cold night at high output. Larger hoppers like the Drolet ECO-65R and Englander 25-CBPAH exist specifically to stretch the time between refills.

Do pellet stoves need a chimney?

No. Pellet stoves use sealed pellet vent pipe and are commonly vented straight out through an exterior wall, which is why they're often the practical choice in a house with no existing chimney. See our pellet venting parts.

Are pellet stoves EPA certified?

Yes — every pellet stove we sell is EPA certified. Each model's tested emissions and efficiency figures are listed on its product page.

Can a pellet stove go in a mobile home?

Several models are mobile-home approved when installed with a fresh air intake. The product page states whether a given model carries that certification — confirm against the owner's manual before ordering.

Do you charge sales tax on pellet stoves?

No. StoveSource charges no sales tax in any state, and orders over $250 ship free to the lower 48.

Choosing between them

We're an authorized dealer for all three brands, and most stoves currently include a free accessory with purchase — the included gift is shown on each product page.

Choosing between them

A bigger hopper isn't more heat — it's fewer trips with the pellet bag. Output figures are tested heat output, so they compare like for like across all three brands, and burn times are the manufacturer's maximum on the lowest setting. Between sizes? Our stove sizing calculator factors in insulation and climate.
