While we normally sell wood boilers in Canada, we also sell coal boilers, although very little coal is available in Canada. I believe that British Columbia is the only place that has it in abundance.
Canada is not subject to the same regulations as the United States in regards to their Federal EPA laws that are in place now.
Can I purchase a residential wood boiler that is not EPA-Certified?
Yes. In Canada, residential indoor boilers and furnaces are only subject to
The Code of Practice for Residential Wood Burning Appliances, which says
Residential wood burning has been a significant source of domestic heat throughout Canada's history. The use of wood as a fuel for residential heating is popular for many reasons. Wood is a renewable source of energy that requires minimal processing. It can provide a degree of self sufficiency by reducing dependency on purchased energy and can provide an alternative heating source when and where other power is not available. Wood can be very competitive in price compared to other sources of energy and may provide additional economic benefits for rural communities engaged in woodlot production" and also:
A boiler must have a particulate emission limit of 0.4 g/MJ. This is roughly equal to 0.93 lb/mmBtu, much higher than the EPA’s requirement of 0.32 lb/mmBtu for residential wood heaters.
Many boilers that do not meet the U.S. EPA’s emission standards do meet the standards in Canada.
Canada Residents: Keep in mind that “The Code” exists in Canada to provide municipalities with advice on best practices for reducing emissions.
Local governments have the final say in what laws apply to you, so please check your area’s or Provincial guidelines before purchasing an outdoor wood boiler or water-less wood burning furnace. You can read “The Code” online,

here.
British Columbia
I heard that they were illegal in B.C. and I finally did find some find information
here, but please call your local city, town or community or Province, please because "These regulations do not include solid fuel burning devices that:
have an output capacity rating greater than 150 kW, or are certified by the manufacturer as having a maximum output capacity of greater than 150 kW. [150.0 Kilowatts (kW), = 511,821.37 BTUs per Hour (BTUIT/h) ]"
New outdoor wood boilers require a minimum 40-meter setback
Typical appliances include wood stoves and inserts, pellet stoves, wood or pellet boilers and wood or pellet furnaces.
Manufacturers and distributors should also know that, according to the EPA, wood boilers manufactured in the United States for export are exempt from the EPA’s emission limits (NSPS Page 45, § 60.5472). U.S. manufacturers and retailers are allowed to sell non-EPA-certified wood boilers and furnaces to anyone outside of the United States.
What regulations apply to commercial wood boilers in Canada?
Commercial boilers in Canada are required to be manufactured to standards set by local or provincial Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act, all of which ultimately refer to the Canadian Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (CSA B51). CSA B51 relies on ASME standards. Basically: If a boiler is ASME-certified, it meets Canadian standards of manufacturing. However, you may be required to obtain a wood burning permit from your local government.
Features and Benefits of a HyProTherm Wood Boiler and Forced-Air (Water-less) Furnaces
Hyprotherm Wood Boiler Warranty
even in Canada!
1: WOW! You get 20-Year ON-SITE Warranty, You won't have to pay shipping to the U.S. to get it repaired; there AND back, as 85% of the companies require! That will be quite expensive shipping a boiler back to the United States from Canada!
2: HyproTherm has the best outdoor wood boiler because it has up to a BIGGER FIREBOX than many manufacturers, giving you more wood capacity which means heating more square feet with LESS LOADING!
3. This new firebox from HyproTherm is formed using a
430-Ton Press Brake, giving you one piece of metal for three sides; that means less welds which means less potential for leaks because leaks most always start at welds. That is almost as few welds as on a cylinder; it has only 4 welds vs. 12 welds on a typical firebox; where they weld 6 flat slabs of steel together to form a box, with no inherent strength at all!
Three times less welds means less failures and leaks!
4: The water jacket bottom is THE SAME THICKNESS as the firebox because it is the most vulnerable part). Not only is the firebox 50% thicker than most others (ours are 3/8" and 1/2"); the 1/2" THICK firebox option gives you a HALF INCH THICK water jacket bottom as well!
...NO ONE ELSE DOES THAT - not in Canada; not anywhere else in the world!
5: The HyproTherm Wood Boiler is because it has a removable
Pull-out Ash Tray, making it the best wood boiler in Canada, if not the whole world!
Our Forced-air Water-less Furnaces have Pull-out r
6: HyproTherm uses all Off-the-Shelf PARTS that are available everywhere in Canada including ebay.com and ebay.ca. There is nothing proprietary that you have to get from us.
7: HyproTherm has No electronics; NO circuit boards, NO computerized parts, (like on the Wood Master and Central Boiler and many others)! NO Smart Phone Hookup (You don't need complex things!)
8:
Wood boiler Domestic Hot Water heater
HyproTherm gives you
one pump installed WITH flanges; many others don't give you even one pump PLUS our wood boiler has an
extra set of ports for another pump to heat another building, shop, garage, pool, hot tub, driveway, walkway, greenhouse, etc.
Our wood boiler also has a third set of ports to heat your domestic hot water. HyproTherm has the best wood boiler anywhere. It has a
BUILT-IN HEAT EXCHANGER to heat your domestic hot water, so you do not need to purchase an external heat exchanger to mount on your hot water heater, like a side-arm or plate exchanger because it is included with your purchase of this boiler and works phenomenally well! This saves you about $300.00 and you don't need an anti-scald valve!

LOWER Hydro Bill!
My electric bill was slashed by 1/3, the very first month, when I hooked up the Hyprotherm wood boiler to my electric hot water heater!
Needless to say, 1/3 off is a monumental savings every month, even with those low Hydro electric costs in Canada!
9: HyproTherm utilizes a nice big
forced-air blower (75 CFM) in the back, to feed oxygen up through the grates, just like a blacksmith's forge! Absolutely necessary for COAL and the best for wood!
You get a real
nice hot fire so that there are no unburned pieces of wood or coal left over (like you get with a Central Boiler)
Our big forced air induction fan comes with a simple solenoid activated damper too, (shown
HERE) for less wood consumption! (NO air drafting into the firebox - SAVES WOOD!)

Stainless Steel vs. Mild Steel in Outdoor Wood Furnaces
There is no additional carbon released from burning than would be released from the tree decomposing in the forest.
