Furnace installation


 The Furnace we purchased is a Clayton 1802 G from U.S. Stoves.
Side view with heating run attached 24x24 inch duct.
On left is fresh air return we are pulling 4 tons of air from inside house. This  is changing out house air about every hour & half.

Front view of furnace it  will take up to a 34" log & will burn coal.

Side view in rear of picture is concrete board we applied over sheet rock to give us a non combustible wall rating.

Long view, blanket is entry to mud room.

Furnace arrived on pallet. It weighs 770lbs wow. Did we have some fun figuring out how to get it lifted & off pallet. But alittle blocking an a come along it was done.

Blocking to hold concrete board off wall. This will allow air to flow behind concrete boards.

Wall framing in garage for mud room wall.
 
Completed picture, took us three weeks to frame & install.

Concrete board work.

Side view of completed concrete board completed.
Weather is still cold 20ts during day 10 to 20 below at night. Furnace works great & is heating house very well. It seems to like to keep house at 75* which is warmer than we have ever been able to reach with our space electric heaters. It is also hooked to the solar power system so during day it is running from panels if the sun shines. We have heat yes it is a big step forward for us. Will try to post more on next clear day agian. God Bless all stay warm.

What an amazing project! I know you are SO glad to have heat! But I have a question: From looking at photos you have posted, where on earth does all that wood come from?

There is a local saw mill that delivered our first 4 cords, unfortunately it is pine which burns very quickly and may not get us through the winter. We may need to have 4 more cords delivered to get us through the winter. Beginning in the early spring we will begin cutting, splitting, stacking and drying the wood to get us through next winter. We have a couple of neighbors that want trees that were burnt/singed in a wildfire last summer removed from their property -- so we get firewood next year for the cost of labor and they get their property cleaned up.

It's looking great and heating your house very well – for sure you couldn't ask for more. There's nothing that could top a beautifully-designed and high-functioning equipment, whether if they're for heating or cooling purposes. Take care of your furnace, and you'll benefit from its service for a long time. Cheers!
