If burning through your budget isn’t reason enough to switch, consider the environmental benefits of heating with an outdoor wood-burning furnace.

Burning wood is carbon neutral. Though it does release some carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere, the amount released is equal to the amount trees absorb as they grow. Compared to fossil fuels, wood’s balanced carbon exchange is impressive. Fossil fuels have no way of counter-balancing the gas production. Wood is naturally carbon neutral.

Wood is also renewable. As fossil fuels’ carbon footprint grows, our stock of them shrinks. When we run out of oil, coal and natural gas, they’ll be gone. Forever. Wood, however, is completely renewable. That’s right, you can’t grow oil. But you can sure grow trees. Right here in America. Beautiful.

Since WoodMaster furnaces burn so efficiently, the time it takes to grow a tree is fast enough to replace the tree that was cut down for use in a furnace. This means your WoodMaster furnace keeps your home warm and your property lined with trees.

WoodMaster furnaces burn cleanly. Compared to the 7.5 grams per hour of carbon emissions produced by an indoor wood stove, a WoodMaster pellet furnace emits just 1.2 grams per hour of carbon. That’s a considerable difference.

We hope this is clear: WoodMaster furnaces take it easy on your wallet and our world. Now that’s something worth sharing.

Did you switch your home heat source to an outdoor wood furnace because of its environmental advantages? Please, do tell.
