Condar Company is committed to environmentally sound philosophies and practices. At the Condar factory and offices in Columbus, North Carolina, recycling is mandatory for all employees...from junk mail and office paper to capturing and reclaiming the precious metals from the dust created when cutting custom catalytic combustors. In our own quiet way, our small company does its share to use our planet's limited resources intelligently.

Catalytic Combustors

Condar is the world's leading manufacturer of catalytic combustors for woodstoves. Using technology similar to catalytic converters for automobiles, Condar's catalytic combustors help woodstove manufacturers comply with US air emissions standards as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency. Condar also markets replacement catalytic combustors to distributors, hearth retailers, and consumers. Federal law now requires that combustors be operated and maintained properly over the entire life of the woodstove, to reduce pollution.

Catalytic Probe Thermometers

Condar is the world's sole producer of thermometers to measure temperatures of gases exhausted from catalytic combustors. This product helps consumers to operate combustors properly, thereby extending the life of the combustor. A longer combustor life conserves natural resources, especially the mining of the precious metals palladium and platinum, which are used in catalytic combustors.

Condar Surface-Mounted and Flue Gas Thermometers

Condar invented the world's first practical surface-mounted thermometer for woodstoves, and remains the world's only producer of high-temperature probe thermometers for woodstove flue pipes. These products are valuable aids to consumers who wish to burn wood safely, while conserving natural resources. A Condar "WoodSaver" thermometer guides the consumer, to get maximum heating efficiency out of wood, without unnecessary waste and consumption.

ASV-90 Air Supply Ventilator

Even the most energy-efficient, best-designed home needs proper make-up air. As Americans become more aware of the importance of Indoor Air Quality inside our homes, we must explicitly design our homes' ventilation systems properly to bring fresh outside air into the interior environment. Most American homes lack sufficient make-up air, which contributes to health problems. And opening windows can cause energy loss and bring noise and air pollution and pollens into the home. Condar's unique Air Supply Ventilator uses no electricity to operate, and cleverly takes advantage of Negative Air Pressure inside houses to bring fresh, filtered air indoors when it is needed.
