Central Boilers: Cost-Effective, Sustainable Warmth

Central Boiler manufactures outdoor wood furnaces, a heating system that burns wood to boil water to heat your home. Outdoor wood furnaces, or Outdoor boilers, as they are often called, are installed outside of your home, typically in a shed or outbuilding. Installing them outdoors helps prevent heat loss and fumes from entering your living space.

Central boilers are gaining popularity as homeowners seek efficient, reliable, eco-friendly heating solutions. These self-contained units offer a range of benefits that make them a worthwhile investment.

Why Choose a Central Boiler?

Energy Efficiency: Central boilers excel at energy efficiency. Burning wood allows them to achieve high-efficiency rates, requiring less fuel to heat your home. Modern models boast complete combustion, minimizing waste and emissions.

Cost-Effective Heating: Wood is significantly cheaper than fossil fuels like oil or gas. Wood is a renewable resource, making it less susceptible to price fluctuations and more affordable, especially in areas with readily available wood.

Environmentally Friendly: A central boiler is a sustainable heating option. It utilizes renewable resources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, modern boilers burn fuel efficiently, producing fewer pollutants than traditional wood stoves or fireplaces.

Consistent Comfort: Unlike traditional systems with hot and cold spots, central boilers provide consistent and even heating, ensuring a comfortable living space throughout the winter.

Versatility: Central boilers integrate seamlessly with various heating systems. They can heat your home, provide domestic hot water, warm floors with radiant heating, and even heat swimming pools or hot tubs. This versatility makes them a comprehensive heating solution for your entire household.

How Does a Central Boiler Work?

The core components of a central boiler work together to deliver warmth:

Fuel Source: Wood is loaded into the boiler.
Combustion Chamber: The fuel burns in this chamber, generating heat.
Heat Exchanger: Heat from the burning fuel transfers to water via a heat exchanger.
Circulation System: Heated air or water circulates through ducts or pipes, respectively
Distribution: We primarily integrate with forced air systems by installing a hot water coil in the plenum. The air handler then blows hot air through the HVAC ductwork. Water-to-water applications are also possible, where the heated water is distributed to radiators, baseboard heaters, or in-floor heating systems.
