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.

Dylan & the Installers (I know, sounds like a 70's rock band) are great to work with! If you need to replace your furnace, AC or both, this is the place to go. I did several estimates and found Hurlburt not only the least expensive on the same equipment but there were add-ons that no one else offered or did. Don't waste your time with others. There was a small mishap with the tile in my basement and after a couple emails it was handled perfectly. We are very, very pleased with the whole install. "THANKS" Dylan & tell the guys in the band "GREAT JOB"!!!!

Called Hurlburt heating and plumbing when my furnace went on the fritz. Thank you to Mike for coming out right away and taking a look with pictures and all. He gave me the run down of issues and we decided wouldn't be worth it to fix since the pipes had seen better days. I then met with Dylan, who walked me thru what my house would need, very helpful and trustworthy. Could have tried to upscale this but gave concise details on what would work for me. After setting this up, Cody and I believe Ethan, installed new furnace. So very wonderful to have heat again. Logan will be here tomorrow to set up my water softener. Very impressed with each and every one of these people. Thank you very much!
