Get a pellet stove installed in your house if you can. I had one installed in my home 3 years ago and it’s the best home improvement I’ve ever made. I just bought a ton of pellets; 60 40lb bags. I use a bag a day, and my pellet stove heats my whole house. Total cost of the ton of pellets was $340, and that ton lasts approximately 2 months. It costs me less than $1000 to heat my house for the whole winter, and I own a 2 story colonial. The upstairs does stay a bit cooler than downstairs where the pellet stove is but we stay downstairs most of the time anyway. I’m typing this while sitting near my pellet stove and it’s cozy and warm here and the outside temp is in the upper 30’s.

I got one and yes it’s a great way. I may have to add a 2nd one. Our house is a weird layout

The stair to the 2nd floor in our house is in the middle and divides the living room from the family room. The heat from the pellet stove rises up those stairs and flows into the bedrooms. It takes time for that to heat the upstairs but it gets the job done.
