"Why do I need a Charmaster Furnace with a Power Outage Package?"
Peace of Mind...
Remember the devasting ice storms of the past several years. No electricity. No heat. Homes, schools and businesses were at a standstill. Yet hundreds of our customers from California to Maine kept their family warm and comfortable with a Charmaster Wood Furnace.

What is a Power Outage package?
A Power Outage Package converts your Chalet, Charmaster or Charmaster II forced air wood furnace into a Gravity Heat Furnace. The package consists of an Automatic Air Intake, Safety Heat Dump and a Closure Register.
All DELUXE furnace models include the Power Outage Package.

What is Gravity Heat?
Gravity Heat is cooler, heavier air that flows back into your furnace to be reheated, then the warmer, lighter air naturally rises through your ductwork. During a power outage, your furnace blower will not run. In order to get air flow through your furnace, you will manually open the Closure Register, and remove the filters from your Auto Air Intake and Cold Air Return. This is Mother Nature at work as hot air rises.

Automatic Air Intake:
"Why do I need an Auto Air Intake and a Closure Register?"
If the power goes out when you are away from home, the Auto Air Intake will automatically open, allowing warm air to naturally rise through your ductwork, and your home will be heated by Gravity Heat.
Additional Benefits of the Auto Air Intake - When your furnace blower is not running (because your thermostat is satisfied), the Auto Air Intake door will automatically be open. This will allow warm air to naturally rise through your ductwork keeping your home toasty warm. When your home is heated by Gravity Heat, the blower will start less often and run for shorter periods of time. This saves you money on your electric bill and provides more even heat!

Closure Register:
"Why can't I just have two Closure Registers?"
If the power goes out when you are away from home and you have two Closure registers and no Auto Air Intake, your furnace will not be in gravity heat operation, because you will not be home to manually open the Closure Registers.

Safety Heat Dump:
"Why do I need a Safety Heat Dump?"
During a power outage, the furnace blower would not function. During that time, if plenum temperatures reach 280 degrees, the Safety Heat Dump door opens, allowing the warm air to escape. The heat escapes safely into your basement preventing your ductwork from overheating.
