Drolet HEAT COMMANDER Wood Furnace DF02003
Among the most efficient systems on the market based on distributed energy, the Heat Commander is a central heating system that is both cutting edge and accessible thanks to its innovative design and ease of use. EPA certified, its 310,000 BTU capacity makes this furnace versatile and ideal for heating spaces up to 2,500 ft². The Heat Commander’s overall thermal power is notably much higher than most comparable systems.
Result of our victory in an international innovation competition, the Heat Commander is the very first wood furnace on the market to offer Dual Fire© technology with a two-stage electronic combustion control. Find peace of mind with a self-regulated combustion that allows easy ignition. Its automated air supply and flame adjustment systems synchronize with your thermostat to offer additional safety, optimize comfort and reduce emissions with minimal maintenance.

- Uninterrupted heat with on-demand boost based on thermostatic demand
- Among the lowest burn rates on the market (firewood savings)
- Up to 10 hours burn time
- 3.6 ft³ firebox
- 21" logs (loading over depth and width)
- EPA certified
- Proudly made in Canada
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Air filters help filter dirt before distributing hot air in your installation in addition to protecting the blower. The use of filters is strongly recommended.
- The fresh air return adapter can be added to the blower box to increase the efficiency of your system. This option allows you to take fresh air from the rooms and bring it to the furnace to be heated and redistributed in these same rooms. It allows more even air circulation to increase comfort.
Any installation must be done according to the data and drawings detailed in the owner’s manual.

About Drolet
With the expansion of its operations, F.-X. Drolet acquired a lot in 1907 on which he built a 90,000 square foot metallurgical plant. The building has two parts: the mechanical workshop on one side, and the foundry and forge on the other. Much better located, this new plant is fully equipped with modern machinery. Shortly after moving, the sons of F.-X. Drolet join the company.
In 1988, Drolet was a pioneer in the development of low emission products. The HT-2000 is the first EPA / CSA certified appliance and has literally become a legend in the wood burning world! Over the next few years, a whole series of "HT" products were developed and met with huge success.
Over the years, environmental standards are tightened more and more to reduce the emissions of fine particles caused by the combustion of wood-burning appliances. Just as innovative as in its beginnings, Drolet is ahead of this wave of change and successfully re-certifies its appliances long before the deadline. It was these changes in standards that led to the creation of the HT-3000, which succeeded the legendary HT-2000.
