About this technology
Overview
Aeroheater Company developed a high-efficiency wood burning heater that fits into a home fireplace has a patented heat exchanger that recirculates heated air from the upper ducts back into the room with less waste of energy. Heat does not go up the chimney. Temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit are generated within the aeroheater, so it is coated with Pyromark to protect the metal from heat damage. The high temperature paint also protects the exterior finish from everyday abrasions.
