Product Brief
Dependable Craftsmanship
Thermo Pride heating equipment has listened to your concerns about comfort and has met your demands for the best, most reliable, and efficient furnaces and cooling systems. When you want to experience exceptional comfort, increased efficiency, and handcrafted quality along with the proven warranty of Thermo Pride, but have limited space, select the low profile OH6 series oil furnaces. You’ll be sure to receive quiet, reliable, long lasting performance from your home heating system that is specifically designed to meet your home’s needs.
Handcrafted Quality
Each Thermo Pride cabinet is powder coated inside and out after it is formed for a durable, tough finish that will ensure long life and a quality appearance. The interlocking insulated furniture grade steel cabinet helps retain heat within the furnace and prevents annoying vibrations during operation. The rounded corners add structural strength and a pleasing appearance to the cabinet.
The heat exchanger is fabricated of 13-gauge coated steel in a unique octagonal shape to increase the surface area and the heat transfer of the heat exchanger. This unique combination of design and material provides Thermo Pride oil furnace owners with the confidence that these furnaces are made to last a lifetime!
Warranty
The proven longevity of Thermo Pride’s heat exchanger, combined with the Limited Lifetime Warranty, virtually eliminates the worry of ever having to replace your furnace. Should you sell your home, the heat exchanger warranty will automatically transfer to the new homeowners. Thermo Pride furnaces also come with a 10-year parts warranty. See warranty for details.
We’re proud that Thermo Pride furnaces are manufactured in the United States.
