Do not crowd a wood furnace. The National Fire Protection Association requires 4 feet from the firing door to ANY combustible surface or wall. Leave 18 inches for all smoke pipes to a combustible surface. This results in an area 12-1/2 X 6 feet MINIMUM, assuming combustible walls on all four sides. 10' x 14' recommended.

Often the simplest way to determine this is to look at your thermostat. If you see an Emergency Heat or Supplemental Heat setting, chances are you have a heat pump. Of course, many times the thermostat has been changed, either by the homeowner or a weekend warrior, and the wrong type of thermostat has been installed. You can look at your outside unit; many times the words "Heat Pump" will be on the label somewhere. If your outside unit runs during the winter, then you have a heat pump. See similar questions...

Yes, all are highly rated for natural decay and disease resistance by the Forest Products Laboratory. Pressure treatment deeply protects wood against water and insect damage and pressure treated Pine is perfect for any climate. Cypress grows in southern swamps and is naturally resistant to water and insect decay by producing the compound "cypressine". See similar questions...

Yes! Because of our extreme weather, operating your heating and cooling system in Central Texas during a typical year is equivalent to putting 110,000 miles on your car. Many of us won’t go more than 5,000 miles between an oil change or 30,000 miles between a major tune-up, yet we’ll let our expensive comfort equipment run all year without much attention.

Each distributor selects programs to participate in at the local level. While getting a machine for free may sound like a good idea, the mix price is marked up to pay for the equipment. No equity in the equipment is ever gained, and the premium mix price reduces profits. If you change to a different mix company, you lose the freezer too. Once the equipment is paid for, your profit margin goes up. See similar questions...

Yes, it is normal for an outdoor heat pump to run during the winter as it is the primary heating & air conditioning source for all of the seasons. See similar questions...

No. The equipment goes inside your home, usually in the basement, garage, crawl space, or mechanical room. Because it's indoors, the life spans of the compressor and major components are greatly extended, most having a life span of 20 years or more. See similar questions...

When was the last time you owned something that was totally "maintenance free?" Our putting surface is "hassle-free". The non-sand filled turf is as maintenance free as it gets, even when partially infill assisted/weighted. Our specially designed, interlocking spring set fibers help hold the infill in place, while stabilizing the root of the fiber. Even our infill-assisted/weighted greens are virtually maintenance free.

We believe it makes sense to use American-made fuel products, especially given the daily increases in oil prices and our dependency on foreign countries for fuel. Pellets are extremely cost effective and are also better for the environment. See similar questions...

Wood fuel is one of the most appropriate renewable energy technologies for heating the home. In a domestic property the two fuels to consider are logs or pellets. Woodchips are not generally suitable for use in a domestic property because of the ancillary equipment needed. See similar questions...

Yes! The Honeywell thermostat will open the combustion air draft door when heat is required, and close it when the thermostat is satisfied. YOU DO NOT REGULATE THE HEAT IN YOUR HOME BY THE AMOUNT OF WOOD YOU LOAD INTO THE CHARMASTER/CHALET FURNACE. Simply load enough wood to do the job - normally, twice a day - and let the thermostat do its job. Most homeowners heat their home plus or minus about 2 degrees, all winter using wood.

older 2,000 sq ft home will burn 5 to 6 cords. Approximate total cost of firewood cut and delivered at $90 a cord, around $540 a year. You will also receive free domestic (household) hot water during the winter months. See similar questions...

Yes! The Desert Spring humidifier works on ALL forced air furnaces (electric, natural gas, heating oil, propane, and wood), as well as heat pumps. Due to their hotter output air temperature, the humidity output will be slightly higher on traditional furnaces compared to heat pumps. Ask us for advice if you have a heat pump and a home larger than about 2,800 sq ft. See similar questions...

Yes, many of Foster's customers have added a heat pump to their existing oil, gas or electric furnace to cut heating expenses. You would then use your oil, gas or electric furnace as back-up heat, which in this climate, would be very infrequent. You could expect your oil bills to drop substantially. See similar questions...

Should you decide to go ahead with a adding a heat pump to your furnace the following items will be added. Two small diameter copper pipes (one suction line and one vapor line) will be extended from the condensing unit and run into your furnace. These lines will be installed with great care as to look as pleasing as possible. In the furnace area the pipes will be hooked up to an 'A' coil (as per below ) inside the plenum of your furnace.

Typically an a/c or heat pump will last 15-18 years. Sometimes it pays to replace the old system sooner because of the higher efficiency (lower gas and electric bills) provided by equipment. Due to our Arizona climate, life expectancies can vary greatly. Maintenance is a must to maximize efficiency and protect your investment. See similar questions...

Geothermal energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy. Heat energy is trapped inside the earth, and this heat can be circulated into your home by a heat pump. See similar questions...

One TIME? can be used on virtually any type of exterior wood or wood product. When treating new cedar wood or redwood, lightly sand the wood before the application of One TIME, or let it naturally age for one year. We highly suggest using Red Cedar or Clove Brown on any cedar and redwood. The most common residential applications include decks, fences, log homes, sheds, shake roofs, wood siding, yard and garden furniture, and children's play sets. See similar questions...
