What Is an Outdoor Wood Boiler?
We know what you’re thinking: A wood boiler? How do you boil wood to heat a home?
It’s easy to get confused by the name because it is a bit…misleading. An outdoor wood boiler works by burning wood in a firebox or combustion chamber to boil water. The boiled water is then circulated to provide heat to your home and attached buildings. Outdoor wood boilers are designed to be placed outside of your home and unlike the localized heat of traditional wood stoves and fireplaces, they can provide heat to your entire home. You can even heat your garage and make those early mornings on your way to work a little less chilly.
How Much Does It Cost To Install an Outdoor Wood Boiler?
The cost of installing an outside wood boiler can change based on what type of boiler you choose to purchase, its size and features, the distance from your house, and the cost of any permits. All of that might sound pricey, but remember – an outdoor wood boiler will reduce your monthly bills, so the cost savings over time makes upfront costs well worth it.
If you have questions or want to discuss the cost benefits or payment plans, give us a call or reach out through our website. Our customer service team is happy to guide you through the process.
Central Boiler: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an outdoor boiler and an outdoor furnace?
If you’ve done your research on alternative heating options, you’ve probably come across both of these appliances because they’re pretty popular. Although they sound similar, they do work differently. A boiler uses hot water to heat your home and a furnace uses warm air.
What is the upkeep like for an outside wood boiler?
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends that you have your wood boiler inspected once a year and cleaned when necessary – which is usually every three years.
Do I need a permit for installation?
You might. Building codes and permits can change from town to town. If you do need a permit, there will likely also be a fee to secure one. We understand that dealing with town regulations can be annoying. As a locally based company, Ozark Stove and Chimney serve Green County, Christian County, Stone County, Dallas County, Benton County, Marion County, and several others nearby and we can help you out with that.
