According to EnergyStar, your water heating system accounts for 14% of your energy bill.

Monetarily speaking, the average household spends $400-$600 per year on water heating.

To reduce this expense, lower standby losses, such as heat that escapes the water heater and seeps into the surrounding basement area, as well as the amount of hot water you use in your home.

When set too high, or at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, your water heater can waste anywhere from $36 to $61 annually in standby heat losses, and more than $400 thanks to overall consumption. Lower that expense by bringing the heater's thermostat to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or below.

However, if you chose to heat your domestic hot water with a Shaver Outdoor Wood Burning Furnace, you can totally eliminate that huge hot water bill 12 months of the year, if you choose to run the furnace year round and at least 6 months of the year, when you are providing heat for your home, saving you $2-300 a year minimum!

The Shaver Outdoor Wood Burning Furnace comes with a built-in heat exchanger standard, which works a whole lot better than a side-arm heat exchanger that everyone else wants you to buy because they just work by convection.

Convection is a very slow heating process that allows the water to move by the differential of heat and so it doesn't work nearly as good as a pump (like we use) that will move the water at 18 gallons a minute; more hot water than you could ever use.

Your hot water heater is kept constantly full with hot water.

All water furnaces have a built-in heat exchanger for the domestic hot water.

This means that you don't have to buy an external heat exchanger, like a side-arm. They only work by convection (a very slow heating process because the water only moves by the differential of pressure and temperature) whereas our system utilizes a pump, that will pump the water at 18 gallons a minute through the heat exchanger. This gives you a virtually endless supply of hot water. Your hot water tank will always be full of hot water ready to use.

You only need a circulating pump ($99) and a $5 thermostat, plus the Pex pipe.

We have a 50 foot copper water coil in the water jacket which works much better than a sidearm exchanger or brazed plate heat exchanger.

A circulating pump ($99) is mounted on the hot water heater and a thermostat turns it on when the temperature drops in the H/W heater. The cool water is pumped through the built-in heat exchanger (included) and back to the water heater, fully heated. 

Heating your hot water with the built-in hot water coil is very efficient, especially compared to external (side-arm and plate  heat exchangers, that only work by convection.

Your hot water heater will stay off all winter while you enjoy a virtually endless supply of free hot water! This saves you $30 - 60 a month depending on what kind of heat you have and how much hot water you use.

Your hot water heater functions as normal in the summer.
