Heating - High Combustion Efficiency (equal to or greater than 90%)

Frequently, tests of existing heating units reveal operation at 50-60% combustion efficiency. High-efficiency replacement units (with combustion efficiencies of 90% or greater) reduce fuel costs (and corresponding pollution) by 30-50% over existing units, learn more ...

Heating - Outside Air Source for Combustion

Combustion units for heating buildings benefit from drawing combustion air directly from the outside using sealed and insulated ductwork.

Hot water radiant floors, or hydronic systems, are the most cost-effective systems for homes or buildings in heating-dominated climates. learn more ...

Water Heating - Instantaneous Water Heaters

Easy economic savings can accrue from instantaneous or on-demand type water heaters. In contrast to the traditional method of keeping 40 to 80 gallons of hot water at-the-ready in an insulated tank, on-demand heaters produce hot water only when it is needed. learn more ...
