"I really love my masonry heater. It's the perfect place to stand next to when coming in from working outside in the fall and winter months, it really warms me up fast. A 62 degree air temperature with the heater feels like 74 with the old forced air furnace."
-Charles Knerr, Scottsville, NY
A masonry heater is a partial or whole house heater which operates by capturing the heat generated by a quick, hot wood fire lasting just a few hours, then releasing the stored heat over the course of a day. It differs from a traditional wood stove in that it has a large thermal mass, which stores and releases heat long after the fire has gone out. This feature, coupled with the construction to take a quick, intense fire, allows the masonry heater to provide the same amount of heat as a traditional wood stove, while burning for 10% of the time and using only one third to of the wood of a traditional wood stove.
At the center of every Empire Masonry Heater is the Envirotech™ technology. Our heaters are the only American-made, third-party tested, modular heater kit on the market. After numerous years of research and training with several European master stove builders and their experience building hundreds of masonry heaters in North America, the creators of the Envirotech™ designed this easy-to-build kit-type masonry heater. Empire Masonry Heaters now exclusively manufactures the Envirotech™ for customers on the East Coast.
