HeatMasterSS

What HeatMasterSS does

HeatMasterSS is a family-owned Canadian manufacturer of outdoor wood gasification furnaces, founded in 2001 in Southern Manitoba by Jake Friesen and a partner, with leadership transitioning in 2021 to founder's three sons. The company designs, builds, and distributes hydronic outdoor boilers that burn solid biomass fuel (wood, coal, pellets, wood chips, and agricultural screenings) and circulate heated water through insulated underground piping to provide space heating, domestic hot water, and process heat for homes, farms, and commercial facilities.

The product portfolio spans six series covering residential through industrial output: G Series (ultra-efficient EPA-rated wood gasification up to 300,000 BTU/hr), MF eSeries (multi-fuel wood/coal), P Series (wood pellet), C Series (coal), B Series (multi-fuel biomass commercial up to 1,000,000 BTU/hr), and T Series (top-loading commercial up to 1,500,000 BTU/hr). Core technology is a downdraft gasification combustion process with a patent-pending Tornado refractory chamber, dual modulating dampers with O2 sensor feedback, and a Titanium Enhanced 409 stainless steel firebox. The G10000 is rated the most efficient boiler in North America by EPA testing (G4000 89.5% HHV). A smartphone app (myHeatMaster) provides remote monitoring, and an online parts store supports aftermarket service.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales priced $8,100-$38,995 USD via an exclusive network of independent authorized dealers across North America, supplemented by replacement parts revenue and financed monthly payment options. The company sells to rural residential homeowners, farmers and agricultural operators, and commercial and industrial businesses, with manufacturing consolidated in Manitoba (new plant built 2018) and operations governed by ISO 9001-certified processes and EPA Step 2 emissions compliance.
