ᐅ Evaluation of Pellet Heating Systems for Residential Use

Hello everyone,

We are currently interested in a house and are considering buying it.
Built in 1984, approximately 145 sqm (1,560 sq ft) of living space, and has been occupied in recent years by an elderly couple. They have used about €2,000 worth of pellet fuel per year for heating and hot water with their pellet heating system. Additionally, there is a tiled stove, but I don’t know how often it was used.
Is this generally a reasonable estimate for a house from that year?
Are there any other important details we should know?

Regards,
Tobi

I am interested in a station wagon, model year 2002. The previous owner spent about 600 euros on fuel per year. Is that reasonable for such a vehicle?

Sorry, to answer your question: Yes! How could you assess that without, for example, information about the house construction and the previous owners' heating habits, etc.?

There is really nothing to say. My parents have a larger house built in 1982, but they pay less for electricity—direct (!!!) heating.

Especially with older people, heating habits are often ... unusual. Maintaining 24°C (75°F) in winter with windows constantly tilted open naturally affects energy consumption.
What does the energy performance certificate say? How much energy is actually used? Figures in currency are even harder to interpret because energy (in this case pellets) can be obtained under different conditions.

A crystal ball!
