Judging by the feedback from our customers, the best time to buy bagged wood pellets is before the heating season starts. If you have the space, and you’re familiar with the pellets you’re buying, and you have the funds available, you should consider buying a whole heating season worth of pellets at one time. If you buy a little more than you think will be enough, you can use the leftovers for the next heating season. Having extra on hand also means you don’t have to go looking for pellets toward the end of winter when stocks are lowest.
Another factor that you can think about is special offers from pellet suppliers. If you know who services your area, get on their mailing list if they have one. Some retailers offer special rates on delivery, or sales on some brands of pellets.
