Is an Outdoor Wood Furnace Right for You?

Need To Make A Decision?for your new post

Earth Outdoor Furnace
In our last blog, we talked about the common problem of home heating systems failing when people need them most. (You may have even faced this issue yourself this year).

We also discussed some of the benefits of Earth Outdoor Wood Furnaces, the biggest one being their reliability!

Now, let’s take an even more in-depth look to help you decide if an outdoor wood furnace is right for you.

Before we answer the question, “What does an outdoor wood furnace cost?” let’s look at an even more important question:

What is your current home heating system costing you?

Take a moment to think about what you’re paying to run your home heating system right now. If you’re like most people, your utility bills probably spiked this year when the temperatures plummeted into the 20’s at night not long ago.

For some people it was the increased expense of an electric unit running non-stop to keep out the cold. For others, it was the added cost of the natural gas used to heat their home. And then there were those people who had to deal with the frustration of frozen pipes on top of high energy bills. Not to mention the nightmares that come with malfunctioning heat pumps…

Maybe you even had to huddle around your space heaters (or bring out all your extra blankets) to try to stay warm. It’s a common story for many people this time of year.

So, what is your home heating system costing you?

  • Money- when your utility bills suddenly double
  • Comfort- when you can’t seem to get warm, no matter how many layers you have on
  • Peace of Mind- when you wonder if your kids are staying warm enough at night
  • Time and Effort- when your pipes freeze again and you have to thaw them out
It’s for all of these reasons that many people come to fear winter nights (and the bills that follow). 

What if we told you there was a better way to make it through the winter?

What does an outdoor wood furnace cost?

The short answer is, it depends on the unit you choose. You’ll want to make sure that you find a unit that’s strong enough to heat your entire home. (We can help with that!)

It also depends on if you decide to purchase the unit outright, or if you want to take advantage of our financing options.

With the Earth Outdoor Wood Furnace line, there’s a furnace for every size and style of home.

Now, before you panic thinking about all of the costs of installing a new heating system, you should know that Earth Outdoor Wood Furnaces are designed to work with your home’s existing set-up.

In fact, once you lay down the concrete platform the furnace is going to sit on and run the pipes to your
house, it’s really a simple plug-and-play system.


Some of you are probably still skeptical. Can a system like this really save you money?

Here’s a customer testimonial for a family that enjoyed the following benefits:
  • Saving money on their utility bills 
  • Extraordinary heat!
  • Plenty of hot water
  • DIY installation
  • Easy maintenance
Another Earth Outdoor Wood Furnace Customer said, “Our electric bill went from $457 in January to $112 in February with our Earth Outdoor Furnace.” With that in mind, maybe the better question is: Can you afford to pass on these kinds of savings?

Here’s the deal…

Our goal today is simply to show you what we personally believe is a better, safer, less-expensive way to  heat your home.


If you know us at all, you know we don’t sell products that we don’t believe in. The last thing we want to  do is sell you a system that isn’t going to meet your family’s needs.


So, come on out and take a look at an Earth Outdoor Wood Furnace today. We’ll answer any questions  you might have, so you can find the right unit for your home and make an educated decision about switching to an outdoor wood furnace.


For those of you with a fear of salespeople, relax. This isn’t a high-pressure sales situation. Our only  interest is in finding out if one of these incredible heating systems is right for you.


All we ask is that you come spend a little time with us. We’d love to get to know you and your family and  see how we can help.

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, so many people think about losing weight, earning more, or spending less… but what about using the new year to focus on those home projects you’ve been putting off? We understand that many home improvement projects can seem daunting at first. They may require you to learn new skills or get outside your comfort zone. They may also require you to fix problems you would rather keep ignoring. But think about this for a second: wouldn’t it be nice to take care of those issues once and for all? You might be dealing with any one of these common scenarios: Your house is overflowing with stuff you don’t use very often (especially after another Christmas). Your roof is still leaking no matter how many layers of shingles you put on there. You can’t seem to keep your home warm in the winter, no matter how high you crank up your heater (and your utility bills keep climbing). Your garage doesn’t have enough space for all of the projects you want to take on. Or maybe you really just need a new garage door after your teen backed into the one you have. Whether you’re considering taking on one of these home projects, or you have something else in mind, we’re here to help you follow through in getting the most out of your home in 2020.

Has this last round of storms left you with a damaged or leaky roof? Are you looking for a supplier who can help you put the pieces back together? If so, you’re in luck! Metal Roofing: Just one of the services we offer… To be clear, we’re not a roofing company in the traditional sense. We don’t have a crew on hand that we can send out to do roofing repairs or installation. (Although we’d be happy to provide you the names of some installers!) What we can offer you are top-of-the-line metal roofing products you can use to protect your home from future storms. Wondering about the benefits of installing a metal roof? Be sure to check out our earlier blog that takes an in-depth look at some of the key benefits metal roofs provide. If shielding your home from inclement weather, saving money on utility bills, and getting a great roof that’s made to last are on your to-do list, you’ve come to the right place! But first, let’s get real about metal roofing. You get a lot more for your money with a metal roof. If you’re looking for a cheap solution to your roofing problems, you’re probably better off slapping on another layer of shingles… However, if you’re looking for a quality solution that will last for decades, metal roofing is the perfect choice for you! When you invest in a metal roof, you get a lot more for your money. First, you’ll get peace of mind. Instead of cringing when you hear a storm rolling in, you’ll know your home is protected by a strong and sturdy roof that’s built to endure the worst weather. Second, you’re adding value to your home. Whether you’re planning to leave your home to your family, or you’re thinking of selling your home and heading south someday, investing in a metal roof will make your home an even more valuable asset in the future. “Is installing a metal roof simple?” If you’ve asked this question, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, there’s more to metal roofing than slapping some metal panels on over the top of your shingles and calling it “good.” It takes time and attention to detail to install a metal roof correctly. Is it rocket science? Absolutely not! But, like most things in life, doing it right will take some time and effort. Here are a few key things you need to consider: First, what kind of vapor barrier do you need to use? This is an important decision that deserves a blog all to itself. Lucky for you, you’ve got our experience on your side! Call us or come see us, and we can discuss the wide range of options you have available when it comes to vapor barriers, and we’ll help you figure out the best solution for your roofing project. Why does it matter? Because we want to make sure you get the roof of your dreams, of course! Making a wise choice here will set the tone for your entire metal roofing project. Next, what kind of fasteners should you use? This is another topic that deserves a more in-depth discussion than we can give it here. However, just like the choice of the right vapor barrier, finding the right fasteners is essential when it comes to installing a metal roof. What are the risks? You might ask… Using the wrong fasteners can lead to issues like: Leaks Corrosion Loose panels Or other serious issues But again, that’s why we’re here for you! You see, we’re not just here to sell you the materials. (Any old building supply store could do that…) We’re here to help you get your roof done right, in a way you can be proud of for years to come! Think of us as your friends in the metal business! And, just like with choosing the right vapor barrier, we can walk you through how to choose and correctly install fasteners that will work great and help protect the metal roof you’re investing in. What about ventilation? This is another factor that can get overlooked when it comes to installing a metal roof. The truth is, it’s just not something people think about if they don’t have experience in this area. However, just like with fasteners and vapor barriers, we’re more than happy to help you with this step as well. Not only will we talk you through your ventilation options, so you can make the best choices when it comes to installing your roof, we’ll also help you understand the risks involved when a roof isn’t properly ventilated. This way you’ll be able to bypass issues like condensation buildup, or other hazards like mold, mildew, or insect issues that come with leaks due to improper ventilation installation. Does that seem like a lot to take in? If so, don’t panic! Remember, we’re… More than a metal roofing company! As we mentioned before, our goal isn’t just to sell you the materials you need to install a great metal roof and then send you on your way to fend for yourself. From the time that you call for your FREE CONSULTATION, we’ll be there to answer any questions you have about installing your metal roof. After over 20 years of providing high-quality metal building products to our customers in the four-state area, we’ve seen about every snag that you can hit.
