Why Wood Boiler Manitoba?

Thank you for stopping by our website. Our story began when our family needed an OWB (outdoor wood boiler) that satisfied a few requirements.

1.) Environmentally friendly – As a firewood supplier we pride ourselves on providing a sustainable, carbon neutral heating alternative (firewood) to fossil fuels such as natural gas, heating oil or coal. Our OWB needed to do its part to keep smoke emissions low and heat output high to reduce our environmental footprint.

2.) Heat multiple buildings / components – Quality outdoor wood boilers aren’t cheap and if I was going to pay good money I wanted our unit to heat our home, garage, shop and hot water efficiently and economically. I viewed the purchase cost of our OWB as prepaying a hydro or natural gas bill in advance.

3.) Look good – Our yard is where we live, work and play and the OWB would be a part of that. We wanted something that worked hard and looked good while doing it and looked like it belonged in our yard, not an industrial afterthought. Little to no smoke was a must-have to keep us and our neighbours healthy and happy.

4.) Easy to use / efficient – Even though we supply firewood for a living and have firewood handy, I didn’t want to have to be always filling our furnace when I could be spending time doing other things (like soaking in our wood-fired hot tub). I also wanted a unit that made the most of the firewood it burnt.

5.) Local support – As a rule I like to buy Canadian and even better buy from a Manitoba company. This supports our economy as well as having a local contact for any technical questions, parts, best practices etc. It also saves on shipping.

6.) User references – It’s pretty easy nowadays to have a professional looking website and impressive marketing materials. Whether it’s a truck, a furnace, a dog or whatever I always like to talk to people that actually own / use one before I buy.

After looking online, speaking to manufacturers and dealers, attending trade shows and meeting with actual boiler owners I decided on Heatmaster, specifically the G100. Even though the initial price of the G Series is higher than their MF cousins, my plan is to spend a bit more at the start and less over the lifetime of the furnace due to reduced firewood consumption and higher heating efficiency. After speaking and meeting with Devon and the team at Heatmaster I asked about becoming a dealer. As a high quality firewood supplier we like to partner with other high quality producers, like Heatmaster.

I know you have lots of options out there when it comes to heating your home, even more so when you consider electric and fossil fuel options. That’s why I appreciate you taking the time to visit our website, think about Heatmaster and evaluate your options when it comes to heating efficiently, safely and in an environmentally sustainable way.
