HOW IT WORKS

How does an outside furnace heat my home?
The outside wood furnace is designed to save the most energy and provide the most comfortable heating available.  It heats your home by heating a tank filled with water, which surrounds the firebox of the outside furnace.  The furnace is basically a non-pressurized boiler with an atmospheric vent.  This hot water is then circulated to your heating system on demand from your thermostat.  The system can be forced air, baseboard heat, radiant, or any type of heating system.

How does the furnace heat water for household use?
A cold water supply line goes to the outside furnace to replace any water that evaporates.  The supply line also connects to a heat exchanger inside the water tank.  Pressure on the supply line forces water through the exchanger when you open a hot water faucet inside your home, sending the heated water to your hot water heater.

What changes will occur in my home?
An additional thermostat is sometimes added to control a pump or fan.
A trunk line must enter the house from the furnace underground to the plumbing area.
Valves/water to water heat exchanger may be added to your hot water heater.

 

How do I choose the location for my furnace?
Pick a high rather than low piece of ground to set your furnace if possible.
Consider the wind direction so the smoke is not blowing toward your home.
Most importantly, place the furnace new your wood pile or where you would like your wood to be.
Your outside furnace can be as close as 10 feet or as far away as necessary, not to exceed 600 feet on larger units.
