The furnace sits outside away from the house. We recommend a minimum of 50' from your house for safety as well as
keeping any smoke away in case the wind turns. The best place is right beside your wood pile! The furnace has a
water jacket which surrounds the firebox and this water is piped into the house underground through insulated pipes.
Inside this insulated pipe goes the supply and return water lines.
Once the water lines are inside the house we go directly to the hot water tank first. A heat exchanger is installed on the
outside of the hot water tank. It is basically a pipe inside a pipe and the domestic water does not touch the furnace
water, but it heats your domestic water completely. The electricity is shut off during the heating season and turned
back on in the summer unless you are using your furnace to heat your pool, jacuzzi or something else.
From the hot water tank we go to your existing furnace. We mount a heat exchanger, (similar to a rad in your car) in
the plenum of your existing furnace. Your old system, now becomes the backup. The hot water from your outdoor
furnace goes through the heat exchanger and your existing furnace fan comes on and blows the hot air out through
your duct work. This is the best way to heat your house if you don't already have hot water heat since it gives you the
option of air conditioning.
So that is the basics of outdoor wood furnace. For further infomation in greater detail....give us a call with any
questions that you might have.
