HEALTH

- The chance of carbon monoxide build-up in your home is eliminated. 
- The chance of a gas explosion from your furnace in your home is eliminated. 
- Indoor pollutants of harmful gases and fumes are eliminated. 
- Eliminates the chance of chimney and flu fires from your furnace. 

• Lower utility bills! Wood is very inexpensive or in many cases FREE! You can totally eliminate your gas, oil or electric bill simply by using a Shaver Outdoor Wood Furnace. Wood hasn't gone up for years and is very plentiful. In many cases our customers have enough wood falling on their property to keep them going for life!
  
• Current owners of the Shaver Outdoor Furnace are also using up to 25 to 50 percent less wood compared to other heating alternatives and outdoor wood stoves. 
  
  The proof is in the government tests that were done for efficiency. Our wood burning furnace is over 75% efficient, whereas most outdoor stoves are 65% efficient or less. If it is not eligible for the IRS Federal Tax Energy Credit, it is not 75% efficient!
  
  Since the Shaver can burn larger pieces of wood it will dramatically reduce time spent preparing the wood. Costs for large round timbers are also dramatically less than for smaller split wood. You can get this type of wood for $90 a cord compared to $120-140 for split wood.
  
• Heating with wood outside of the house is CLEANER! No more dark and sooty walls and ceilings, smoke, ashes, bark, bugs, log piles and trash in the house. Instead of moving the wood and mess indoors, the boiler is outdoors - next to the wood. 
  
• An outdoor wood furnace also helps your indoor air quality and can alleviate respiratory and allergy problems caused by burning wood indoors .
  
• The house will be less drafty when heating with the outside boiler, because there is no combustion device operating inside drawing in cold outside air to replace that used in combustion.
  
• Simple Thermostatic control provides your home with even, steady heat.
  
• Heat your hot water with your Shaver Furnace. Many people save $30-60 a month on this feature alone! It takes care of all your domestic hot water needs; the element in your hot water heater need never come on. 
  
• 20-Year ON-SITE Warranty covering the entire Shaver wood fired furnace. Pumps, Fans and thermostats are guaranteed one year. You never have to ship the furnace back to us to be repaired, like with other outdoor furnaces.
  
• Safety. The Shaver wood furnace eliminates fire hazards from your home or building because all of the burning takes place outside. Our furnace is made to be situated in the yard, away from the house. The usual distance is 50 to 100 feet but can be as close to 10 feet or as far as 200 feet - 300. Claims of 500 feet distances are outrageous. Heat loss would be substantial!
  
  
• Any fire department that compares the safety of indoor units versus outdoor ones will declare hands down that outdoor furnaces are the winners; this safety feature is usually reflected in lower insurance rates. In fact many insurers won't insure a home that has wood only heat (indoors). I found that out for myself!
  
  Many insurers give lower rates when you change to an outdoor wood burning furnace!
  
• With less electronics and without a fan on the outside of our furnace or on the front door, our unit is simpler and safer.
  
• The Shaver Outdoor Furnace means easy maintenance and few parts requiring service. You don't need costly electrical gadgets and features to cause problems down the road. This is a proven design of over 34 years! Keep it simple and efficient, is our motto. 
  
  ALL of our parts are off-the-shelf parts, that you can purchase most anywhere and install yourself!
  
• One Shaver Wood Furnace can heat multiple buildings; there is no need to purchase a heat source for each. Simply run an extra PEX pipe to the area you want to heat - even garages without an existing furnace!
  
• Residential and commercial buildings, motels, factories, restaurants can all be heated easily with our furnaces. 
  
  Simple, clean and efficient, one unit properly sized, can heat your house or shop, garage, swimming pool, hot tub, greenhouse or factory.*

According to the University of Nebraska, "Wood burning stoves may not only save people money on their heating bills this winter, but also are a clean alternative to electric or gas furnaces," Adams said.

Scott Josiah, state forester with the Nebraska Forest Service at UNL, said "There also are environmental benefits to using wood heat. Wood heat produces little pollution and is environmentally friendly, especially when wood is used in a high-efficiency wood burning stove and where firewood is a readily available resource."

The bottom line? Heating with a Shaver outdoor wood furnace is a viable and inexpensive heating alternative.
