It's now time to manage heat distribution!
EPA certified wood fireplaces generate a lot of heat. For the most part, they generate too much for the room where they are located. Therefore, you need to manage the excess heat and send it where it is needed. To provide a solution, our research and development laboratory has designed the Heat Management System, an innovative technology that allows the recovery of the heat produced during combustion to redirect it into distribution ducts to heat other areas in your home.
Forced Air Distribution Kit (Heat Management System)
This system allows you to manage the heat distribution automatically. Using a wall thermostat, you can select the temperature you want to maintain in the room where the fireplace is located. Once the thermostat is satisfied, the excess heat is redirected to another room up to 50 feet (15 m) away from the fireplace using a 300 CFM blower. That way, you can enjoy a nice fire in your living room without the discomfort of excess heat generated by your Osburn fireplace.
The system can also be used to supplement heat in a room remote from the fireplace. For this type of application, the thermostat needs to be positioned in the desired room and programmed with the temperature to be maintained. The system, now in "heat mode", will activate the blower as long as the temperature in the remote room is not achieved and that the fireplace has enough heat to distribute.

Osburn offers you another way to distribute excess heat into your home with the help of a hot air gravity distribution kit.
Hot Air Gravity Distribution Kit
The hot air gravity distribution kit allows you to bring hot air into the same room as the fireplace, in adjacent rooms, or up-stairs at a maximum distance of 10' (3 m). The minimum height of the hot air duct must be 68" (1.7 m) measured from the floor to the top of the hot air register.

Your Osburn heater is manufactured in Canada from premium materials only. The outsourcing of production to lower-cost countries such as China has risen dramatically over the last twenty years. The stove and fireplace industry has not escaped this trend. However, Osburn has made the decision to invest locally in the finest production equipment and capitalize on the skills of its highly-trained workforce. This has allowed the company to keep its costs reasonably low while maintaining a tremendously high level of product quality. Our workers are not machines. Rather, we hire them for their ability to make machines serve humans better. This is part of Osburn's commitment to continuous improvement.
