How can the Shaver Wood Furnace heat my home and water?
The heated water is pumped to the home or building through insulated underground pipes (Pex pipe). A water-to-air heat exchanger or water-to-water heat exchanger, conveys the heat into the home’s forced-air furnace, boiler, or radiant floor heating system. It will also supply potable hot water to the water heater to provide domestic hot water. Every Shaver Furnace comes with a built-in heat exchanger at NO CHARGE. This eliminates the need for you to purchase an external hot water heat exchanger for your hot water heater. You would also have to buy a tempering valve, so you don’t end up with scalding water. This will save you $250 – $300! We use a direct hookup to the hot water heater. This allows for normal thermostatic control of temperatures for safe, even, comfortable heat. You won’t end up with scalding water with our built-in heat exchanger for your domestic hot water.
