GARN - Model WHS 1500 - Wood Heating System
The WHS-1500 wood boiler is great for installations where the WHS-2000 is a little too big for the install space. The boiler is designed for heating up to 7,500 sq ft and can easily be installed in an existing building or lean-to addition. The tank is rolled and is 8 ft long; the entire unit is just under 9 ft long. The 1500 is built with pride by American workers and has a minimum steel wall thickness of 3/16″ with 1/4″ heads. The large, Schedule 40, 4 inch diameter heat transfer tubes never plug and transfer heat efficiently to the water. The manway ring can be ordered with a fitting for use with a solar thermal drainback system, perfect for storing heat from the sun!
Electric Heating Available
9 electric elements at 5.5 kW each (49.5 kW / 169,000 btu/hr total power input) can be installed to take advantage of off-peak heating through your local coop or utility.
