This page is for "Hot Topics" or common questions we have received from you, the customer about the LDJ Amaizeing Heat furnaces.

Q. - What is the difference between an LDJ Amaizeing Heat Furnace and a LDJ Amaizeing Heat Boiler?

A. Both systems utilize the same biomass burning system to make heat.   The Furnace heats air which is distributed through the ductwork, and the Boiler heats water to be circulated through pipes to radiators or in floor radiant heat.

Q. - Can the LDJ Amaizeing Heat Furnace utilize the existing ductwork in my home?

A. - Yes, the furnace is designed to be connected to a duct distribution system 

Q. -  Can the LDJ Amaizeing Heat Furnace be used with an existing furnace as a backup, or does it have to operate as a stand alone unit?

A. - Yes, with a proper connection to the ductwork, your existing furnace can be retained as a backup to the LDJ Amaizeing Heat Furnace.    Either an automatic or manual damper will need to be part of the installation to ensure the heated air enters the ductwork and not the unused furnace.

Q. - Can the hopper be placed on either side of the LDJ Amaizeing Heat furnace?

A. - Yes, the hopper can be situated on either side of the furnace.   The change is relaively easy but must be done by Trycornheat.

Q. - Can I operate the LDJ Amaizeing Heat without any ductwork to heat my basement or shop?

A. - No.   At a minimium, a simple pleneum is needed to divert the heat away from the return opening of the furnace.   This will prevent a the heated air from simply returning to the furnace and being heated further.   In that scenario, the furnace will overheat.
