Quick Question: How are wood stoves or fireplaces different today than in the past?

Author: admin Category: Alternative Energy Appliances, Wood Stove Tags: wood burning fireplace, wood fireplaces, wood stoves

Thursday

wood burning fireplace or stoveGone are the days of inefficient wood burning stoves that create more smoke and ash than heat! American Energy Systems has spent considerable time over the past three decades taking the “work” out of wood burning, freeing up your time and maximizing your heat.

The MagnuM and Country Flame wood burning fireplace, stove and fireplace insert lines are state of the art in high efficiency clean burning technology. We squeeze every BTU possible out of each log that you place into our product. Many areas of the United States require clean burning technology from wood burning appliances; something we’ve worked hard to provide in our modern day appliances. The result is less ash, less chimney cleaning, less hauling in wood and taking out ash.

Need to understand BTU’s a bit better? Check out, “The Truth About Heat Efficiency”.

electricity for pellet stovesYes, pellet stoves and corn stoves on the market today need electricity in order to work. If you want to run your corn stove during power outages, you will need to purchase a battery backup and inverter. These can be purchased at local retailers such as Best Buy and Circuit City, and many people in areas prone to bad winter storms and power outages find comfort in having a battery backup, even if it’s seldom needed.

Wondering how much electricity a pellet stove uses? Read, “How Much Electricity Does It Take to Run My Pellet Stove ?”

American Energy Systems was contacted a few days ago by an individual who had some questions about an older wood burning appliance that we was considering. Since the appliance he was referencing was quite old, we made sure he was aware that there are current compliance, certification, and insurance related issues he will want to  explore further. In response to our technical assistance and answering his series of questions, he had the following to say:

Do you have any fireplace inserts approved for use in an existing zero-clearance fireplace?

Thursday

Yes. In our catalytic line of wood stoves, the Country Flame model O2 is approved for use in zero-clearance fireplaces. It is specifically designed to fit into a very short fireplace at only 17 ½” in height. For more information on catalytic and non-catalytic terminology.

What is a zero-clearance fireplace?

zero clearance fireplace insertA zero-clearance fireplace makes installing a fireplace in an existing home an affordable reality for many people. The Country Flame Model 02 is designed to take advantage of existing space and available venting/prefabricated chimney structures. It is important to check with the manufacturer of your Zero Clearance Fireplace to see if they allow the installation of a wood burning appliance into their fireplace. Sometimes it is best to take the Zero Clearance Fireplace out to accommodate the installation of your Country Flame Model O2 wood burning fireplace. Contact us to find out more about zero-clearance fireplaces and if the Model 02 is right for you.

Another Happy Stove Owner

Author: admin Category: Alternative Energy News, Tips, and Fun Tags: reliant t40

Tuesday

Dear American Energy Systems,

UPS delivered Reliant stove part quickly from American Energy Systems
Well I am not sure how you did it, since UPS told us overnight was not possible to here. However, we did receive the harness overnight, and it arrived about 7 pm on 12/14. We were able to get the stove rewired without too much trouble, and the notes you put on the diagram helped us a lot. We did have to jumper the switches together since our Reliant T40 had 3 instead of 2. We did test it last night and it seemed to be ok.

This afternoon we were able to get it outside to test it to see if it would work completely correct, and it did. We got our stove installed again in its spot this evening around 6 pm and our house is finally warm! It is putting off its lovely glow and blowing just like it should.

I am very happy that you helped us so much, and we do appreciate it very much. It has been a blessing to find your company and know that parts and service are still available for our stove. Again, thank you so much for all the help that you have given us.  It is not forgotten nor fallen on deaf ears per say. I will make sure to pass on American Energy Systems info on to anyone I meet or know if they are looking for any info and/or parts or a stove.

We rent where we are, and I know for a fact that our great little stove will go with us no matter where we move to, even if it were FL.

No one around here (other companies) wanted to even look at our stove and only offered new ones with little to no service. Your help and assistance has been a blessing to us this year and is greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from a happy customer in NE Utah.

wood and corn burning forced air furnace alternative energy heatIs there really a forced-air furnace that burns corn or wood pellets?

Yes!

The Magnum 6500 is a flex fuel furnace that is an effective and efficient alternative heat source for your home. With a whopping 210 pound fuel storage capacity, the Magnum 6500 furnace will provide up to 97% combustion efficiency.

And How Safe Is a Pellet/ Flex-Fuel Furnace?

The 6500 Stove has many built in features to keep the furnace safe. Features such as: Low and High temp auto shutdown, and proper insulation, so the furnace top and on the three sides are cool to the touch.

We recently heard from a customer on the use of his Magnum 6500 Furnace and its amazing durability.
