Competence, innovation, sustainability, family business - these are the values that stand for an international heating company with 185,000 customers worldwide and 1,250 employees today. The company is already represented in more than 43 countries and the export rate is 79%. This is how the “Hargassner” brand is recognized today.
It all began in 1984 with the promise of biomass pioneer Anton Hargassner Sr. to his wife: “I’ll build you a heating system that you’ll never have to refill by hand again”.
This meant that he had to develop an automatic filling system for the family’s wood chip heating boiler. On the way to becoming a global player Anton Hargassner Sr. acquired many patents for these innovations. These developments remain the foundation of the company’s success today.
“Hargassner has been committed to the North American biomass heating market for more than 20 years. Last year we invested in an official company headquarters, warehouse space and local staff in Toronto to better support Hargassner’s growing base of customers, dealers and contractors across North America. This year, we are proud to announce that our new website, hargassner. com, has just gone online.” Stefan Kopp, CEO, Hargassner North America
BIOMASS SAVES MONEY VS FOSSIL FUEL
Facing rising fuel costs, customers are searching for sustainable heating options for their homes and businesses. Using wood pellets, wood chips or wood logs as a fuel source is not only more cost effective than burning oil or gas, it also supports the local economy and recycles residual wood in a sustainable manner. Further advantages include the fact that the biomass fuel for Hargassner’s boilers is exempt from the carbon tax, and buyers benefit from a 30% federal investment tax credit.
TAILORED BIOMASS HEATING SYSTEMS FOR EVERY NEED
The company offers an individual biomass boiler system scaled to meet almost every level of demand - from single-family homes up to larger-scaled installations for farms,
greenhouses, hotels and industry. Hargassner produces solutions from 23 kW (78,500 BTU/h) to 330 kW (1,125,000 BTU/h) and in cascade set-ups (multiple boilers connected) up to 2 MW (6,700,000 BTU/h).
COST EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO OPERATE
The company guarantees the lowest possible maintenance requirements and long operational life for its full range of equipment. With the remote control via phone or tablet, customers can easily change settings on their biomass boiler or even check its status. The user interface is simple and intuitive to operate. Importantly, the company’s biomass boiler systems are officially certified and approved by the U.S. EPA and the CSA.
