Dear Customer,
You have purchased one of the finest wood burning heating systems in North America.
You will find that your Ardent Energy furnace will operate much differently than the old fashioned fireboxes of the past. You will
experience a new level of heating comfort and convenience, with greater control, longer burn times and reduced creosote deposits.
Please take the time to become familiar with your Ardent Energy heating system. Study your manual carefully before you begin
installing or operating your furnace. Keep the manual handy for future reference.
If you would like to add optional equipment to your furnace, make sure that you have the serial number of your furnace when you
visit your Ardent Energy dealer. This will help us give you prompt and accurate service.
We at Ardent Energy congratulate you on your choice of wood furnaces, and are confident that you have purchased a product
that is simply, the best.
