Important Message from Our CEO:

Hi Patriots, 
Welcome to 2021!  I hope your long holiday weekend was perfectly enjoyable! 

Remember for your New Years Resolutions, keep our Top 5 "Goal-Setting Strategies" that help the most in setting, and achieving GREAT GOALS:

1. Keep the list short - set five or fewer big goals. Aim high. This is your LIFE we are talking about!

2. Don't just set goals once per year. Set Quarterly goals, write them down, then refine them.

3. Review your goals every day. Then, when you review your big goals every day in the morning, then you can plan specific action items each day that help you achieve your big goals.

4. Don't be all or nothing. You might discover that after a few weeks, you are marching down the wrong path on one goal. Just drop it, or replace it. Don't throw everything away just because you find that one of your goals was a bad idea.

5. Put first things first. Don't let the mundane or urgent but unimportant stuff drown out the more meaningful things you     need and want to do.

Why Does Snow Melt Between My House and Outdoor Boiler?  
 

We get this question often and the answer is usually one of THREE possible answers:

1. You are losing heat underground because you have low quality pipe (NOT purchased from OutdoorBoiler.com of course!)
2. You recently installed your underground pipe (this is NOT lost heat from your underground pipe, but rather heat escaping from the earth via the path of least resistance - the earth you disturbed while trenching. This will go away after the ground settles.)
3. You are losing heat underground because you have a LEAK in your outer casing. Water fills the outer casing, sucks heat away from your PEX tubing, and that heat gets absorbed by the earth - and the earth can absorb an infinite amount of heat!

Often, people install new underground insulated PEX, and during their first winter, the snow melts between their house and outdoor boiler. And they think they have a problem! 

Do not worry! The solution is to measure if you are losing any heat underground with a simple test - we call this the "Delta-T Test". See instructions below to complete this simple test, and you will likely have peace of mind knowing that you are not wasting fuel.

In summary, here are the possible causes, and the recommended solutions:

 

 

Here is the Delta-T test procedure that can be used to see if you are wasting wood by losing heat underground: 
   
Wondering: Am I Wasting Money? Am I Losing Heat Underground?
 
Try This Simple Test...
 
You can check your underground pipe for heat loss in about 5 minutes. This is called a “Delta-T” test which is simply a measurement of how much heat is lost through your underground pipes into the earth, or the air. The instructions for the Delta-T test are as follows:
 

1. MAKE SURE ALL LOAD IS TURNED OFF.  All unit heaters and furnaces must be disabled, and no hot water faucets can be open during the test. Make sure nobody is taking a shower, and your furnace blower fan are off, otherwise the test results are useless.
2. Using a digital thermometer, take temp readings at the back of the furnace on BOTH the Feed Line and Return Line.
3. When taking readings, apply temp sensor, cover with insulation, and secure in place with Velcro or tie strap.  Make sure sensor is touching metal surface. Leave attached at least 90 seconds or until temp stops rising on readout display, whichever is later.
4. For FEED LINE, apply temp sensor to fitting or pipe close to furnace back wall.  We want the true furnace water jacket temp, before any heat loss from the pipe.
5. For RETURN LINE, apply temp sensor to fitting or pipe at least 4 inches from furnace body.  We want the temp coming back from the line, before it mixes with the water in the water jacket.
6. Do NOT use an infrared thermometer on PEX or PAP tubing. It will not give an accurate reading. An Infrared thermometer can only get accurate readings on metal fittings or pipe.
7. Record these readings. If you see temp differences larger than one degree per 100 feet of underground pipe, you are experiencing larger heat loss than is acceptable.

If your heat loss is TOO HIGH, you should consider replacing your underground pipe. Be sure to only use Heat Mizer brand pipe from OutdoorBoiler.com so you can maximize your savings for decades.
