Do you want to save money on your heating bill and potentially eliminate your heating bill altogether? Consider getting a wood boiler for your home to start saving today.

How Does a Wood Boiler Work?

A wood boiler will generally be placed outside of your home, around 30 to 200 feet away (500 feet at most). Wood boilers are compatible with any pre-existing heating systems. It heats water that is circulated into your home by insulated piping.

Since wood boilers rely on wood as their fuel source, you will need to occasionally replace the wood inside of your wood boiler. When installed with an additional water-to-water heat exchanger, a wood boiler can also produce hot water for your home and replace your water heater.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wood Boilers

There are a variety of reasons why getting a wood boiler may be the correct choice for your Wisconsin home. To better determine if a central wood boiler is the best heating system for your home, you can consider the following pros and cons:

Advantages:

Lower heating costs.
Lower hot water costs.
You can heat multiple locations.
Lower emissions.

Disadvantages:

Higher initial cost.
Regular loading of wood.

If you regularly cut your own firewood, keeping a central boiler fueled is fairly simple and convenient. Depending on your wood boiler and its capacity, you will generally need to replace the wood once every 10 hours or 3-4 days.

I keep calling Hurlburt for plumbing and hvac needs because every experience has been great. This last one was a furnace/ac install (oil conversion) Chris Rodriguez (the sales rep)was excellent. He made the experience fast and easy. I was concerned about the oil to gas conversion with winter just around the corner. He took care of all the details and arrangements to beat the cold weather deadlines. Consistently went above and beyond to make sure my experience was good and we fired up the system sooner than I expected! Great guy, great service.Thanks Chris, also Matt Mcvinnie the installer did excellent work, great customer service he answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. Thanks Matt! And Thanks to the whole group at Hurlburt for another great experience,
