Chisholm has answer to comfortable heating without electricity
If you’re worried about El Nino
sending an ice storm into the Bruce
and leaving you freezing like the
Montrealers, then Chisholm Fuels
of Lucknow has just the answer.
It’s an oil fired space heater that
looks as charming as an old country
fireplace, takes up almost no space
and will heat the entire house from
almost any comer you care to put it.
Recently we visited the beautiful
brick rambling ranch home of Frank
and Muriel Mackenzie on the second
line of kinloss, just north of Lucknow
and saw one of these Dovre Heatilators
in operation. It was doing a good job of
heating the entire house from a space
three feet square in the basement
The electric furnace in another room
had been shut down.
The Dovre Heatilator, about the size
of a 27-inch TV, works quietly, without
any need of electric power and at a fuel
cost so low that the Mackenzies will
probably recover the price and instal
lation in about two years.
All you need with this Dovre
Heatilator is an oil tank and chimney
Frank Mackenzie of Kinioss.
and it will run 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
Frank and Muriel built their house
22 years ago after retiring from the
surrounding farm. He installed an
electric furnace because hydro then
was low in cost, but he put in an air
tight wood stove because he had lots of
wood from the nearby bush. Besides,
they like wood heat; when they moved
into the old log farmhouse back in
1946 they even had coal oil lamps.
But illness has cost Frank the use of
his right hand, so bundling wood into
the stove was a problem. They were
burning 12 to 14 cords a winter. And
leaving a lighted wood stove for more
than a day was a concern.
With a threatening electric heating
bill of $2,000, Frank called Chisholm
Fuels. They suggested the Dovre
Heatilator. In jig time it was
installed, a 250-gallon oil tank in
another room.
This unit comes in two sizes, a
maximum 35,400 btu’s an hour or
48,900 (as the Mackenzies have).
There are six heat settings.
At the heart of the stove is a catalyst
creating the efficient fuel-air mixture
that explains the bright blue-orange
flame you see through the door’s glass
window. Efficiency is 80 per cent.
From October to mid-January, the
Mackenzies burned $350 in oil.
Find out all you want to know about
this remarkable unit by calling
Chisholm Fuels at 529-7524, 357-2820
or 1-800-799-3363. There are printed
specs too.
