A wood heating system is the right choice for the increasing number of consumers who are concerned about our environment. More than 10 million U.S. households — a little less than 10 percent of the total — use wood as their main heating fuel or to supplement other heating fuels.
A wood heating system is the right choice for the increasing number of consumers who are concerned about our environment. More than 10 million U.S. households — a little less than 10 percent of the total — use wood as their main heating fuel or to supplement other heating fuels.
Wood is a totally renewable resource, which, when burned, results in no net carbon dioxide increase and can help reduce your carbon footprint. On the other hand, fossil fuels, when burned, release carbon dioxide which otherwise would stay trapped in the earth. The burning of fossil fuels causes a net increase in carbon dioxide, which is believed to be responsible for the heat-trapping greenhouse effect. When heating with wood rather than fossil fuels, you actually achieve a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, harvesting firewood has a pruning effect on forests, which allows new growth to flourish. The wood you burn likely comes from your local area -- it's not imported and not subject to price increases due to events outside your control, as is the case with oil.
Firewood for home heating helps families stretch their household budgets and strengthen their local economies. It is a safe and efficient way to heat your home.
The Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace is designed to look like an attractive storage building and is installed outside, away from the home or building being heated. A water jacket surrounds the furnace firebox and the heat is transferred from the wood fire to the water.

This allows you normal thermostatic temperature control.

The outdoor furnace can provide heat for all your domestic hot water by adding a water-to-water heat exchanger. You can turn off your hot water heater and save even more money!

The outdoor furnace has the ability to heat multiple buildings, such as a garage, workshop, shed, greenhouse, or barn -- without using other heating sources. It can even be used to heat a swimming pool or hot tub.

Wood, wood pellets or corn may not be the best fuel choices in densely populated urban areas where automobile exhaust and other pollution already puts excessive strains on the air shed. But in suburban, small town, and rural areas, an outdoor furnace makes good sense. If you choose to install your furnace in a densely populated area the stack height should exceed the roof lines of existing homes.
