BARRINGTON - Some might say we're blessed to have seasons in New England. From the heat of the summer to the bitter cold of the winter, the region's weather runs the gamut. But that doesn't mean people have to suffer. Two seacoast area companies focused on energy alternatives are coming together to present the newest, cleanest heating technology to get you through the coming winter. On July 19 Seacoast Energy, a local alternative energy distributor, and Aucella Heating and Cooling, a full service HVAC company, will showcase two of the most affordable and efficient WoodMaster wood boilers on the market.

The latest boiler models to be showcased at the event include a WoodMaster mini-boiler and a Flex Fuel Boiler. These WoodMaster indoor models are the most affordable and efficient options available from Northwest Manufacturing, a company with a long history making clean outdoor wood burning appliances. The boilers utilize cordwood and/or pellets to heat homes with hot water or hot air heat The Flex Fuel model is a combination of a cordwood and pellet boiler that is 92.5 percent efficient and can heat an entire home at a cost much less than that of propane, natural gas or electrical energy sources. The Flex Fuel Boiler is considered the cleanest, most efficient wood appliance available.
Jack Bingham, founder of Seacoast Energy, is constantly searching for the latest in alternative energy technology with the hope to make greener options not only appealing to home owners, but also their best choice. He was personally selected by Northwest Manufacturing to represent their WoodMaster line for his knowledge and enthusiasm regarding energy alternatives

“Anybody that really does research like Jack does – he reads, he hunts, and he looks at things; they realize that the European style of biomass heating is the way to go,” said Todd Strem, WoodMaster's Sales and Marketing Manager. “It’s an educational process and somebody that buys into that is a great dealer for us.”
Though they are made in the U.S., WoodMaster products are based on European designs. Many European countries have mandated biomass heating for decades to reduce dirtier burning furnaces and emissions. Bingham was flown to WoodMaster's offices in Minnesota for extensive training on their products and to see their production operation.
Bingham is happy to host the event and present the WoodMaster line to those in attendance as wells as share the morning with Jay Aucella of Aucella Heating and Cooling. Both Bingham and Aucella are excited for the chance to talk about clean energy technology and how it is not only beneficial to a customer's monthly savings, but also the environment.
"I installed one of WoodMaster's mini-boilers in my home as a test and I love it," said Bingham.
Seacoast Energy and Aucella Heating and Cooling have partnered for years and Bingham says he's had endless success working with them to install both wood boilers and solar hot water systems. They continue to work together to bring WoodMaster products to homeowners in New Hampshire. Because of their successful relationship, Bingham has selected Aucella as Seacoast Energy's sole installer for alternative heating products. The two companies recently completed two Flex Fuel projects together and, according to Bingham, those customers saved money on their heating bills this past winter.
“I wouldn’t hire anyone else for heat. I’m always trying new things and Aucella is always up for a challenge where most other contractors won’t do anything outside their comfort zone," said Bingham. "Equally as important, they have incredible customer service and go out of their way to be as polite and helpful as possible.”
The event will take place at 289 Scruton Pond Road in Barrington, N.H. from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jack Bingham, Jay Aucella, and Todd Strem of Northwest Manufacturing will present on the efficiency and financial feasibility of the WoodMaster boilers. Lunch will also be provided and prepared on a WoodMaster pellet grill.
