a radiant, baseboard, forced-air or other space-heating
heating system, it can reduce heating bills by 70%.

FAQs -
Outdoor Wood Furnaces
Can an outdoor wood furnace provide all the heat and hot
water I need?
Absolutely! We will
assess your heating requirements and provide you with
the size of outdoor wood furnace that meets your needs.
How is the heat from the outside wood furnace
transferred to the house?
It is very simple.
Although an outdoor furnace is like a boiler, your home
does not need to have hot water heat – the Greenwood
furnace system will easily interface with any forced air
heating system. The heat from an outdoor wood furnace
fire is transferred to water that is stored in the
system. This hot water is pumped from the outside wood
furnace to the home and back to the furnace through an
underground insulated pipe. A heat exchanger inside your
home or building takes the heat from the water and
delivers it to your home.
I have a forced air heating system with ductwork and
registers. Will a Greenwood furnace work at my house?
Yes. The Greenwood
furnaces are designed to interface very easily with any
forced air heating system. This is the most simple of
all installations. A water-to-air heat exchanger (which
looks like a car radiator) is very easily placed in your
furnace plenum and then your furnace operates in
“fan-only” mode to blow very warm air throughout your
home without burning any gas. See the “How It Works”
page of our website for more details.
Can I heat more than one building?
Yes. The Greenwood units are
designed with two feed lines making it easy to heat two
or more buildings.
How long will the furnace last?
Our furnaces have a 20 year
limited warranty. With proper maintenance, this
high-grade stainless steel furnace will deliver many
years of trouble free service.
How complicated is the installation?
Installation is simple. Many
owners do their own installation using our new
Installation Manual. Or, if you prefer, we can handle
all or part of your installation through our specially
trained and approved installers.
Can I install the furnace myself?
Yes! You need to be able to
sweat pipe and have access to a few necessary tools.
Greenwood has a complete installation manual and assembly
instructions that make the process simple.
How do I get my furnace located where I want it?
Greenwood dealers have special
trailers that can place your furnace in any location
where
a truck can be driven. Please advise DNL Energy
of any special needs such as fences to be moved or
unstable ground.
Will I lose heat if I place the outdoor wood furnace a
long way from my home?
No. The insulated underground
pipe does not lose heat and is buried about 2-1/2 feet
under the ground. You can place the furnace anywhere you
desire and the only additional cost is for the insulated
pipe and tubing. Some installations have been made in
excess of 250 feet. If two or more buildings are to be
heated, it is cost effective to locate the outdoor
furnace between the two buildings.
What are the regular maintenance items?
Greenwood furnaces only require
four simple maintenance items: 1. Add water to the
system when ever the water level drops by opening a
valve for a few seconds; 2. Clean the water filter by
opening the filters by pass valve and closing the two
valves on both sides of the filter to discharge the
filter. On occasion, disassemble the filter and flush it
out. 3. Remove ash as needed – generally once or twice
per month depending upon the wood you burn. See
Operator’s Manual for more details.
