About the Masonry Heater Association (http://www.mha-net.org)
The Masonry Heater Association of North America is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the interests of the masonry heating industry. Founded in 1987, MHA is an association of builders, manufacturers and retailers of masonry heaters.
Masonry Heater Builders learn their trade from each other, from the “old country” masons and through MHA-sponsored workshops and seminars.
In 1998, the MHA established a certification program for masonry heater builders. To earn their certification, each craftsman is required to demonstrate a working knowledge of masonry work, masonry heater design and construction, and relevant housing and fuel-burning regulations.
In 2020, MHA established a curriculum driven education program known as the “Heater Mason’s Education and Development” program. Presently there are two classes being offered: “Basics and Theory of Masonry Heaters 101” and “Bricklaying 101”. These classes are taught in Canada and the United States.
