			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wood <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="/about-wood-burning-furnaces/">furnace</a></span>, generally placed outdoors, is a coal fired furnace that is virtually irreplaceable in your house.<br />
There are indoor wood furnaces as well, but it is preferable to place them outdoors. There are even models fitting to woodsheds and shops.</p>
<p><strong>Is it a whole set?</strong></p>
<p>What objects does wood furnace heating system comprises?</p>
<ul>
<li> Jacket or cabinet</li>
<li> Access doors for stroking and cleaning</li>
<li> <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="/wood-burning-fireplace-blower/">blower</a></span></li>
<li> Firebox</li>
<li> Small blower <em>(to fan fire and intensify heating )</em></li>
</ul>
<p>What other things are usually needed?</p>
<ul>
<li> Evaporator coil for central air</li>
<li> Electric air cleaner</li>
<li> Humidifier</li>
<li> Air performance media filter</li>
<li> A coil to make domestic water</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How does it operate?</strong><br />
The Wood furnace is a water coated <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="/wood-burning-fireplace-stoves/">stove</a></span> that operates according to the following scheme: the water that covers the stove is heated and pumped through pipes to the building to heat it. Heating is, however, not the only function of the wood furnace. The wood furnace provides hot water in sufficient amount to satisfy needs of a whole house.</p>

<p>As you see, the process is a simple one, but especially important is its cheapness and affordability. Cost effective and convenient system of heating is a great option for those who want to stop losing money.<br />
In spite of the simplicity of such kind of heating, there are certain peculiarities requiring attention: size, air conditioning, amount of wood put in it and so on.</p>
<h3>Outdoor wood furnaces vs. indoor ones</h3>
<p>Reasonable use of wood furnaces brings many advantages to their owners. One of the main advantages is economy of money. The quality heating is a result of efficiency of the wood furnace. What kind of wood furnace is more efficient?</p>
<p>Outdoor wood furnaces are considered more efficient and thus can help you save much money.  Indoor wood furnace owners aren’t unhappy with their heating devices, but still outdoor wood furnace is likely to use less wood and be more efficient.</p>
<p><strong>Air conditioning</strong></p>
<p>You may happen to need a condensate pump as the operation of wood furnace inevitably causes air conditioning. Duct as well as Evaporating coil works clearance from combustibles due to high temperature in the supply plenum. Check manufacturer’s recommendation to become more aware of this thing.<br />
To prevent air conditioning gas or oil burner working in combination with wood furnace will be twice as instrumental.</p>
<h3>Furnace Size</h3>
<p>The size of your wood furnace is actually your option. However, there is something that you should leave to professionals: calculation of the size of blower and output.</p>
<p>Before bringing your idea of your wood furnace into existence make sure it is sized according to common standards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the main disadvantages of having a fireplace is its inefficiency. The core purpose of the fireplace is to warm and indeed, it does warm your room when burning. But when you’re not using your fireplace there is a convention between inside and outer air which is extremely wasteful.</p>
<p>It happens because of a fireplace damper, which is created to block said convention, but usually don’t do the trick because it’s made of metal.</p>
<p>Thereby the device which is designed to heat the house is costing you hundreds of energy cost dollars.</p>
<p>There are several ways of increasing your fireplace efficiency – and reducing the energy costs caused by it.</p>
<div id="attachment_75" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-75" title="fireplace-efficienty" src="http://woodburnfireplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fireplace-efficienty.jpg" alt="Fireplace Efficienty" width="200" height="164" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fireplace Efficienty</p></div>
<p>For starters, you can replace fabricated <strong>damper</strong> with top sealed damper. It works as a barrier between conditioned air and outside air.  It works regardless of season, whether you’re cooling or heating your house.</p>
<p>There is also a matter of <strong>fireback</strong> which can be placed at the back of the fireplace in order to protect the back surface from fire damage. The fireback is good for fireplace efficiency because it absorbs the fire heat and radiates heat back into the house.</p>
<p>A <strong>fireplace heater</strong> is very efficient because it can pull air from your room, circulate it through and then blow the warmed air back.</p>
<p><strong>Draft eliminator</strong> is a draft stopper which is cheaper and tighter than a throat damper. This device is used to reduce heat loss when you’re  not using your fireplace.</p>
<p><strong>Fireplace efficiency</strong> can be achieved by investing into the fireplace glass doors. Glass doors provide safety and economy of energy by reducing the space your <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="/about-wood-burning-furnaces/">furnace</a></span> need to heat.</p>
<p>These additions to your fireplace will, of course, cost you money. But in the end they will save hundreds of dollars every year and make you fireplace far more economically and practically efficient than it was before modernization.</p>
