"Central Boiler Classic is the way to go"
This is a fantastic outdoor heater! It is efficient and quiet and clean. It has saved me so much money since we had it installed. I was paying over $500 a month in heating costs during the winter months. With my new heater my expenses have dropped to about a quarter of that. My home is also so much warmer than it was using traditional electric heat or my indoor wood burning fireplace. This thing is phenomenal!! The installers were there on time and they had it up and running in no time. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Customer service is excellent. Every time I have had an issue I have called and gotten exactly the answer I needed without any fuss. We have owned our furnace for about 2 years now and I would never go back to electric heat. The only thing I will say negatively about this furnace is that it does take up some of the yard space, but that is minimal, and no more than an outdoor cooling system would take up. We have had no real problems with the unit-except user error. Customer service is excellent when I can't figure out how to do something. Seriously the best buy we have ever made! I would recommend this furnace to anyone looking to save money on heating costs.

"Review of the Central Boiler ClassicCL 4030 wood burner"
I have owned the Central Boiler Classic CL 4030 for 3 months now and have not had a single problem with it. My family is always telling me to turn down the heat this thing is so amazing. I like that it is easy to clean and keep up on also it looks great in my yard. It has a nice green finish with a 20"X20" medium size door that makes iteasy to load. This unit also can support 140 gallons of water which is an ample amount for me and the 3 other members of my fiamily. Another great feature is the size and weight the unit only weighs inly 1,350 pounds and the size is 40"X30"X26" which is great for my 3 bedroom one story home. If anyone asked if I would recomended this unit I would buy it over and over again not that I would have to because it is very reliable.

"Truly an award winning product"
When my husband and I bought our vacation home in the mountains about 3 years ago. We decided that we would spend the winter there. We realized that we would need a heating that was efficient and reliable. We asked friends and family for advice and at least twice we heard a person or two mention the Central Boiler E-Classic® 2200. After several months of shopping around we finally decided on purchasing the Central Boiler E-Classic® 2200. It fit perfectly with the overall design of the house. It is efficient, clean and eco-friendly. So far this product has not given us any problems nor did we have do any repairs. We were advised on getting it serviced at least once a year, which we have done so far and we have not had any problems. I would recommend to a friend, and if I shall ever purchase another home I will definitely purchase another one.

"I LOVE my outdoor wood boiler!"
My family and I have owned the E-Classic for approximately 5 years now and we have had pretty good luck with the furnace. What we most like about the outdoor furnace is the fact that it saves us a great deal of money per month. What I don't particularly like about he furnace is that there have been times when the furnace does not work at all! I have called the manufacturer and they are working with us to correct the problem. We had this current model for approximately 5 years and I'm not sure if it's in need of repairs or replacement yet. As I stated, the manufacturer is working with us closely. I would absolutely recommended this brand (and I have!) to friends of ours. However, I don't believe I would recommended this particular model (the E-Classic 2400) just because we have been having so much trouble with it lately.

"Central boilers are great so long as you have access to firewood."
The CL 6048 central boiler is the perfect wood burning boiler for our home. This is the second central boiler we have owned. We left the first one with the house we sold and when we lived in our new place for about a year, we realized how much we missed the central boiler. Thus, we purchased a new one. Currently, our unit heats the entire house, the garage, and the barn. During the winter months, when it is in use, the central boiler even heats our water allowing us to avoid the costs of the water heater. The best thing about this unit is the size. No longer do we need to cut and split the wood to ensure it will fit. For the most part, if you can lift it, it will fit. After eight years of use, we have yet to have anything repaired. The only thing we have done is the typical maintenance involved with any wood stove. This includes cleaning it and re-filling the water core. The costs of heating with this unit is far less than any other heating device available. We have access to hundreds of acres of woods, therefore the money we spend on fire wood is that of the cost of gas to drive to the woods and that to operate the chainsaw. It could be argued that our time is a cost as well, however we enjoy the quality time we spend working on the wood pile together. As long as I am capable of cutting firewood, I will always own a central boiler.

"I've had my outdoor wood furnace for a few seasons now"
I purchased my Classic CL 4030 outdoor wood furnace about a year and a half ago and the thing I love about it the most is the savings on our families' heating costs. It is one of the things that I take for granted now and hope that nothing goes wrong. Knock on wood, but I haven't had any issues with it yet. I purchased it from the local Home Depot and they delivered it for us and helped us as a family, install it. I did not do a whole bunch or research on the whole idea, the staff at the Home Depot knew a great deal about the various products and answered all of my questions. I would, and have recommended this product to many of my friends and family. I live out in the country in southern Ohio and the climate changes weekly so in case the weather drops suddenly the wood furnace can handle the job.

"Outdoor Wood Furnace"
I bought my wood furnace over 5 years ago.comfortable heat. Since installing it I have not used any gas and the house is 72 degrees Wood is the most economical choice. The wood mode allows the user to operate the furnace burning only wood. Wood is a totally renewable resource that is beneficial for the environment because burning wood is natural. When burned, results in no net increases in carbon dioxide. On the other hand, fossil fuels when burned, release carbon dioxide which would otherwise be trapped in the earth. The burning of fossil fuels causes a net increase in carbon dioxide which is believed to be responsible for the heat trapping greenhouse effect. United States and Canada. Making this purchase was one of the best ones I have made and I would suggest it to anyone.

"Central Boiler Outdoor Furnace Summary and Review"
I built my house in late 2002 so I have owned my outdoor furnace. I bought a Central Boiler as we were building our home, so this unit has been our only source of heat since we started living here. I our previous home we had electric heat and what I could not stand that though my thermostat may read 70 degrees, the house felt like an ice box because the electric heater just lacked the power to heat the home elements. What I mean is that the air was warm, but everything you touched was freezing. The floors were cold, walls, etc. In transition, we rented a propane heated home which did not have this problem and the difference is incredible. The ambiance and "home" feeling becomes so much more enjoyable when your home is warm. The reason I mention this is because our wood furnace creates this powerful heat that heats the house and everything in it. I have had maintenance repairs, but nothing out of the ordinary. A local shop is the people who convinced me to buy and the same guy has always done my maintenance and has been a real pleasure. Personable, efficient and quick! For all outdoor furnaces I imagine this can be a common complaint; I don't stock it right and it smokes: neighbors complain. It's really cold in NE Ohio and even colder at four am stocking a furnace. Other than that I love the unit! Make sure your can handle these things, have a constant supply of wood, and the unit is cost effective to an excellent degree and you will love it. Great unit, never had abnormal trouble with my Central Boiler, would suggest to friend anytime.

"Keeping my home warm"
We bought the furnace (Boiler) about a year ago with our refund check, we enjoy it immensely, it has done a fabulous job keeping the workshop warm and cozy, there is a little extra work with it which can sometimes be a pain in the butt, especially on those bitterly cold days. You do have to maintenance it almost daily, which you don't have to do with a central system, but the cost is so much cheaper in the long run. For that reason alone it is very well worth the maintenance. I would say, on average, we have saved almost 1,000 just this year alone. So far, we have not had to do any repairs to it. I would recommend it to any of my friends who have enough time on their hands for the maintenance. If you do not have the time for the mainenance, the machine will pretty much be useless. You won't get the heat you need and will probably have many costly repairs.

"Central Boiler Best Around"
I have had my Central Boiler Classic wood furnace for a year and a half and love it. After last year's winter, I knew it was time to invest in a new wood furnace, and I have been very satisfied with my choice. I have never had to repair mine but I have read reviews in which customers have had to have repairs done. Most complaints have been about the spark plug, which though important, is quite an easy fix. I have had no such issues with the spark plug. Other issues have also been reported but none of which I have also had happen. That could possibly be due to rough handling, but I have no complaints about mine thus far. I would defiantly recommend and buy from Central Boiler again for my wood furnace needs.
