With ever increasing demand for energy from renewable resources, Northwest Manufacturing has just introduced an outdoor natural energy furnace that burns so cleanly that it's neighborhood friendly. Emission tests show that The WoodMaster PLUS falls well below the Canadian standard, which allows up to .3 pounds of particulate per million BTUs for outdoor furnaces. The United States has no published standard.
Fueled by natural energy, The WoodMaster PLUS furnace can reduce fuel costs by as much as 75 percent, reducing dependence on energy sources from politically unstable regions. Fuel options include corn, wood or paper pellets, barley, beet pulp, sunflowers, dried cherry pits, soybeans and a variety of other renewable fuels.
"Our original natural energy furnace was so well received when we introduced it that customers immediately started asking for a smaller unit," said Chuck Gagner, president of Northwest Manufacturing. "The appeal is very broad, with people installing it in cities and in the country."
Two furnace sizes are available depending on heating needs. The new ASF 900 heats up to 5,000 square feet and can be used for an average-sized home and domestic hot water plus a shop, pool or spa. The heavy-duty ASF 1100 has twice the heating capacity and is the right choice for large homes or commercial businesses.
The ASF 900 furnace features new proprietary on-demand technology, so it burns only when heat is needed, saving additional fuel costs. A 2,200-square-foot home would cost an estimated $744 annually to heat with corn, while that same home would cost about $1,400 to heat with natural gas; $1,900 to heat with heating oil; and $2,700 with electricity.
The furnaces connect easily into a home or business owner's existing heating system, making a transition to the outdoor furnace simple.
