Outdoor Boilers and Heaters Deliver Affordable Warmth

Power outages during the dead of winter could become dangerous if your home relies on electricity for heat and hot water. When you use one of our outdoor boilers, you never have to worry about a power outage causing your home to go cold.

Our great selection of boilers includes the:

  • Ultimizer wood boiler
  • Ultimizer coal boiler
  • Gasification boiler
  • Chip boiler

Your outdoor boiler will continue to cleanly and efficiently burn your preferred fuel source and keep your home or another property warm throughout the day and night. The auto-feeding system ensures the boiler will stay hot enough to keep working. You just need to top it off as needed to ensure continued warmth and efficiency.  

Outdoor Boilers Run on Renewable and Traditional Fuel Sources

Our terrific selection of Portage & Main boilers can produce heat using a variety of fuel sources. You could use wood, wood pellets, coal, or another commonly available fuel source. The boilers have holding bins that store your preferred fuel source. As the boiler needs more, the holding bin provides it. You will not have to wake up in the middle of the night to a cold, unheated home. Instead, you just check the storage bin and top it off as needed to ensure your home stays toasty warm throughout the winter. Once you know how long a fully loaded storage bin will keep your boiler working, you can determine how often you need to top it off. The cost of fossil fuels and natural gas has many concerned about the cost of heating their homes and other properties during the typically long and cold Minnesota winters. We have viable solutions that will help to keep you toasty warm on the coldest winter nights.

Customer Reviews

5/5

“I've owned the bl2840 for four seasons. I bought this outdoor wood furnace when Lp was over 3 dollars a gallon and a year or record snow and cold, while only keeping the thermostat only at 68. Since then the house stays at a comfortable 74. I also heat hot water and a three car garage. The bl-40 was not the biggest model to choose from at the time. After talking with the folks from Portage and Main. They sized the boiler to the heat load saving me money and wood. The features I like about bl 2840 are the sleek design the amply sized doors and the heat exchanger along with the refractory brick used inside.”

5/5

We purchased the Ultimizer bl2840 6 years ago and we are very pleased. With 2 teenagers taking long showers the furnace has been working great! All the mess is outdoors. It is nice not to hear the oil furnace come on all winter long. Especially with the price of furnace oil that goes up in the winter. Oh, the money you will save. The customer service is great too!
