e ermo Pride Story
Located in North Judson, Indiana, ermo Pride has
a fifty-year heritage of superior workmanship, product
innovation and small town
work ethic. We are committed
to handcrafted products and
hometown values like comfort,
reliability, durability, quiet
operation and high efficiency.
You will appreciate the peace-of-
mind that comes from knowing
your ermo Pride Mobile Home and Cottage
furnace is anything but a mass-produced, low-cost
compromise between quality and price.
Replace Your Old Furnace
with ermo Pride
When your current furnace fails, you’ll want to replace
it with one that is both dependable and economical.
e ermo Pride OMC Mobile Home furnace
is designed and built specifically as a replacement
furnace.
We use only the finest construction materials and
controls. Nowhere is this more evident than in the
heat exchanger, which incorporates our time-tested
highly efficient and durable Octatherm™ design.
e Octatherm™ Advantage
For over fifty years, our Octatherm heat exchanger
has been used in ermo Pride oil furnaces. e
time-tested, eight-sided
design is at the heart of
ermo Pride’s reputation
for high efficiency, reliability
and durability.
ermo Pride’s revolutionary
Octatherm design forces flue
gases into a high rate of agitation as they pass through
the heat exchanger. is increases heat transfer and
efficiency, resulting in more uniform surface heating.
“Peace of Mind” Warranty
e warranty tells you just how much confidence
a manufacturer has in their product. Since 1955,
ermo Pride has
backed our heat
exchangers with
the industry’s only
transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty. We also
offer a full five-year parts warranty at no additional
cost. Together, these make up ermo Pride’s unique
“Peace of Mind” warranty…our assurance to you that,
when you buy ermo Pride, you buy the best.
Comfort
Comfort is the purpose behind any heating system.
“Temperature rise” makes the difference between
feeling warm, comfortable air from the registers in
your home or the feeling of cool air blowing across
you when the furnace is on. It is the difference
in air temperature from the point where it enters
the furnace to the point where it exits. e higher
the temperature rise—the warmer the air when it
enters the rooms of your home. ermo Pride has
a standard 70°F temperature rise across its full line
of oil furnaces. is is an air temperature up to
30°F warmer than the competition—providing a far
superior comfort level. e OMC furnace surpasses
this level of comfort with an 85% temperature rise.

Suitable for Some
Home Cottage Applications
Some homes are not suited for a
full-duct furnace system. An addition
to a home may also be more effectively
heated using the OMC on a cottage
base, which can have up to four regis-
ters installed for gentle, floor-level heat
delivery.
Additional rooms may be heated by
connecting ductwork to the base, and
then through the wall to adjacent
rooms. No ductwork, grilles, or cutouts
are provided with the base. e installer
will cut the base as needed.
ree-room application
with ductwork into two
rooms, and two grilles.
One-room application
with three warm-air
distribution grilles.
