Hey everyone, I recently bought a house in the Monadnock Region and it has a wood burning furnace in the garage that I want to use as a secondary source of heat in addition to my oil heating. Does anyone know a place in this area that can perform an inspection and possible maintenance on something like this? I've been searching online but I can only seem to find places that service wood stoves, not wood furnaces that vent through a chimney but also blow the heat through vents throughout the house.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I did not have a great experience with Black Moose. I hope your experience is different

Have you tried Friends of the Sun in Brattleboro, VT? If they don’t do it, they’ll probably know someone who does.

Edit: something else I thought of…unless the homeowner did it themselves, the furnace was probably installed by the manufacturer or a service tech. A lot of these places leave stickers or tags identifying who did the work. You can try calling the manufacturer and find out from them who installs/services their stuff in the area.

I'm a bit far from Brattleboro but I can check them out, thanks!

And I believe the previous owners installed the furnace themselves but I will double check.
