The Caddy Alterna II pellet furnace in the Caddy series

The Caddy Alterna II pellet furnace answers the needs of homeowners seeking the comfort of a wood-heating system without its inconveniences. Tested to the latest CSA B415.1-10 standards, the Caddy Alterna II pellet or pellet+electric combination furnace will please the most discerning consumers looking for an efficient and eco-friendly heating solution.

Great heating autonomy

The Caddy Alterna II pellet furnace offers great heating autonomy due to its 240 lb (110 kg) hopper capacity. Furthermore, its optional electrical system allows it to continue to operate when the furnace runs out of pellets.

Maintenance-free components that prevent unnecessary service calls

Other important features of the Caddy Alterna II include a self-cleaning bottom feed system that keeps the burn pot free from deposits; maintenance free components (no need to adjust, calibrate or oil); and a self-diagnostics electronic interface that prevents unnecessary service calls.

Unmatched reliability

All components entering the manufacture of the Caddy Alterna II are carefully selected and sourced from reputable vendors. With an all stainless steel combustion chamber and burn pot, the heart of your furnace is guaranteed to last.

Alternate source of heat

With the Caddy series furnaces you will never again be dependent on a single source of energy to guarantee the comfort and safety of your family. The Caddy Alterna II allows two different configurations: pellet only or combined pellet+electric.

⁽¹⁾ Based on delivered heat output.

⁽²⁾ Values are as measured per CSA B415.1-10, except for the recommended heating area, hopper capacity, maximum burn time and maximum heat input rate. Results may vary depending on pellet quality, density, length, and diameter.

⁽³⁾ Grades of pellet fuel are determined by organizations such as Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), ENplus and CANplus.

⁽⁾ Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft, heat loss factors, climate, fuel type, feed rate, fuel level, and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature considering that the space configuration and the presence of heat distribution systems have a significant impact in making heat circulation optimum.

⁽⁴⁾ Based on the maximum burn-rate and a dry energy value of pellet at 8,600 BTU/lb.

⁽⁵⁾ Overall: Radiated and delivered heat together.

⁽⁶⁾ Efficiency based on radiated and delivered heat when allowing cycling from high to low burn to simulate thermostat demand. LHV % is based on manufacturer’s estimation.

⁽⁷⁾ Higher Heating Value of the fuel.

⁽⁸⁾ Lower Heating Value of the fuel.

⁽⁹⁾ Delivered: Remotely provided to other rooms through ducting.

⁽¹⁰⁾ Efficiency based on delivered heat when allowing cycling from high to low burn to simulate thermostat demand. LHV % is based on manufacturer’s estimation.

⁽¹¹⁾ Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).

⁽¹²⁾ This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.

⁽¹³⁾ Carbon monoxyde. Based on overall heat output.

⁽¹⁴⁾ Unless stated otherwise, measures were taken directly at the main power source and include all electrical components present in the appliance.
