Q: How long do pellets last in a pellet stove?

• <div><p>The burn time of pellets in a pellet stove depends on factors such as stove size, heat setting, and pellet quality. A full hopper of pellets can last anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. Lower heat settings will extend burn times, while higher settings will reduce them.

"Unbelievable service. Called them at 1.30 to repair a gas fireplace. They arrived at 4 after keeping me updated as to when they would be arriving. The repair person was pleasant, informative and knew exactly what was required to get it repaired. He needed a part for the repair and said he would be back the next day to complete the job. That evening I was emailed an update, confirming what the repair person had told me. The next day at 4 I received a text that the repair person would be there at 7pm with the part that needed replacing. At 8.04 I received another text saying the job had been completed. The following morning I received the invoice and could pay online. For any new home problems I will be contacting them immediately. I have never had such prompt, professional and competent service."

Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000.
