Negative temps outside, system under 10 pounds of pressure, 200° hot water, fast and even circulation throughout the home, 100% gravity. Thanks Honeywell Heat Generator no. 1, you are fabulous my good friend!

Stay warm everyone!

    Servicing heating systems for 20 years and I've only seen 1 of these Heat Generator's. Thanks for sharing.

    I have a heat generator too! No gauges anywhere on my set up though. It has been pretty interesting figuring out how to keep it runnin with the limited information out there. 100% gravity is so nice, no power! Might not look the greatest, but they sure don’t make anything like they used too.

    I love to see it! And these old babies fire right up without fail. I do believe it would have been a tube boiler like yours previously. The original owner upgraded to this boiler in 1937 (date handwritten on the back). The first year American Radiator Company started selling No.7.

    I love the simplicity of a gravity system. And because of these heat generators, absolutely no issues with circulation. In fact, I can touch every radiator after 15 mins of operation and already feel some warmth.

    Gorgeous. The radiators are pretty, too.

    I have a 6400 sf house w/ heat generator (obviously a gravity system) and it works great — nice soft heat — even when it’s minus 20, as it was yesterday. Over the 30 yrs I’ve lived here almost all the heating maintenance people I’ve use had much of a clue about my heating system. It wasn’t until my latest heating person went to Chicago for boiler training that I learned I had a Honeywell generator. With his new learning he thought my system was a marvel — something to cherish.

    Keep that guy. He gets it.

    Yes he does get it,

    I have not seen a wooden yellow Pepsi crate since 1970.
