Why choose
a PSG furnace?
To make sure your PSG furnace provides comfort and energy saving for many
years, your choice of installer is extremely important. An authorized PSG dealer
will ensure that the system is optimized to deliver its full potentiel and installed
according to Standards. The customer making the wise choice to do business
with a PSG authorized dealer will benefit from the privilege warranty, in addition
to enjoy a professional and hassle free installation service.

Choose your furnace

It is important to choose a furnace perfectly suited to the size of your residence.
An overly powerful furnace will cycle too much, which will favor poor combustion.
Too small a furnace will heat at high level over long periods of time in order to satisfy
the thermostat call for heat, which can damage the furnace’s components prematurely.
In all cases, a furnace that is poorly adapted to the size of your home will reduce
performance. A detailed calculation done by a heating specialist is recommended.

Register your warranty

Registering your warranty makes it easier for us to quickly find the information
we need about your furnace.

PRIVILEGE WARRANTY
Smart consumers who do business with an authorized PSG dealer benefit from
the privilege warranty as well as professional and hassle-free installation service.

STANDARD WARRANTY
If you purchase a PSG Caddy series furnace from a non-authorized dealer
or opt to install it yourself, PSG will provide the standard warranty only.

The Caddy series
furnaces offers

Economy
The Caddy series furnaces features advanced wood combustion,
thus easily reaching up to a 30% reduction in fuel wood used. EPA
certified or CSA B415.1-10 tested wood furnaces are 80% to 90%
efficient, compared with 40% to 60% for conventional units.

Flexibility
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. Depending on the model, you can add an electric
element, an oil unit or use it as a wood add-on to an existing furnace.

Comfort
All of the Caddy series furnaces are controlled by a wall
thermostat that gives you the exact comfort level you want
for your home and all the protection you need from winter's
icy blasts! Whether or not you are present, your home will be
comfortable without interruption.

6
Durability
Even if you live in an area where moisture may be high, you can still
install a PSG furnace. The 3/16" thick steel outer walls are protected
with a special rust inhibitor, giving the furnace long lasting durability.

Sustainable development
All of the Caddy series furnaces meet the particles emissions limits
set by the US Environmental Protection Agency, better known as
EPA, or the Canadian standard CSA B415.1-10.

A star is reborn
The newly redesigned Mini-Caddy combines PSG’s renowned clean-burning combustion techno-
logy with leading edge electronics to deliver outstanding efficiency and operational convenience.
This compact furnace is the perfect choice for smaller homes and cottages.
Enhancing the user experience
The Mini-Caddy offers all the charm and advantages of a conventional wood stove—plus newly
enhanced electronics and design features for even greater ease of use. Blower speed and plenum
temperature are now automatically managed by an integrated PC board and RTD probe, boosting
user comfort and optimizing efficiency for fuel savings of up to 30%. And the intuitive touchscreen
LCD display makes input and output control a breeze.
More installation flexibility than ever
Not only is the redesigned Mini-Caddy a delight to use, it’s also a pleasure to install. Connecting
the furnace to ductwork is easier than ever thanks to the optional rectangular return air plenum
available on top or on either side of the furnace. What’s more, the blower assembly comes with
a prewired main power board for plug and play convenience.
