| Q:
What type of warranty does HEATMOR provide? |
|
A:HEATMOR provides you with an "unconditional" warranty
on defects in materials and workmanship as well as corrosion.
As long as you operate your furnace in accordance with the safety
guide lines set forth in the owners manual, your lifetime limited warranty
is intact.
|
| Q:
Why does HEATMOR manufacture only stainless steel outdoor wood furnaces? |
|
A: A. HEATMOR uses
stainless steel in the construction of their outdoor furnaces
because it is proven to last up to 3 times longer than mild steel
no matter what the gauge is. HEATMOR pioneered the use of 409
Stainless Steel in outdoor furnaces in 1988 and has set the
standard for the industry ever since.
|
| Q:
How often do you have to put wood in the furnace? |
|
A: Your Authorized
HEATMOR Dealer will be able to determine your individual heat
load and provide you with a furnace that will deliver a 12 -24 hour burn time.
|
| Q:
Why does HEATMOR use a semi-closed system? |
|
A: Outdoor furnaces
operate under three different types of systems:
- Closed systems operate
a furnace at a psi of 7 or more, therefore it is considered
a totally pressurized system. Pressurized systems require much
stricter guidelines for installation and operation.
- Open systems operate
a furnace with direct contact occurring between the outside
air and the water in the furnace. This allows oxygen to get
into the system and create proper conditions for corrosion and
excessive evaporation to occur.
- The HEATMOR bladder
system allows little occurrence of evaporation and lessens the
introduction of oxygen and other harmful elements. It also allows
the use of antifreeze and other coolant enhancement chemicals.
Under normal operating conditions, a HEATMOR will operate at
atmospheric pressure (3 psi or less). However, if a malfunction
occurs (overheating) the specially designed pop-off valve will
allow excess pressure to be relieved to the atmosphere.
|
| Q:
How often do you clean out the ashes? |
|
A: The HEATMOR over/under
forced air draft makes our furnace more combustion efficient therefore,
it produces a very fine ash. Approximately 5-8 gallons of these
ashes can be safely and conveniently emptied out the rear of the
furnace every 2-3 weeks. (Note: Use a noncombustible container
for ash storage.)
|
| Q:
How much wood will I use in a season? |
|
A. If you are a previous
user of an indoor wood burning furnace or stove, normally your
wood consumption with an outdoor furnace will increase approximately
10% due to the following reasons:
- The HEATMOR will
become your primary heat source, with a more even heat distribution.
- You will be heating
your domestic hot water as well as other applications.
However, you will no
longer have the inconvenience and mess of hauling wood into your
home as well as eliminating the smell of smoke in your home and
the danger of chimney fires. For those of you that have not experienced
the benefits of wood heating, you will find that your wood consumption
will vary according to the type of wood you are burning (We recommend
seasoned wood) and your individual heating requirements. |
| Q:
Is a HEATMOR capable of running without electricity? |
| A: No. the furnace with need electricity for the fans and pumps. However, if you
should lose power the best and most cost effective method either a standby
generator or solar/wind power system which will be capable of operating your HEATMOR as well
as your heat distribution system along with your lights, refrigerator,
etc. Need a solar or wind system to complement your project talk to SolarPanel.ca | |
