Sun Cloud Solar Comfort Heater 1500

2008-03-18T21:30:00.000-05:00

NEW SHIPPMENT ARRIVED JAN 10th - INSTOCK READY TO SHIPIndependent engineering reports have proven the Solar Comfort Electronic Heating System to be remarkably efficient due to its scientific use of the specially developed safe infrared heat chamber, in combination with a unique patented venturi-tube metal heat exchanger.

Over 15 years of research, and field-testing stand behind the Solar Comfort in RESIDENTIAL and COMMERCIAL applications worldwide. The best way to describe the system's potential is to first describe its benefits.

The manufacture has concentrated its design efforts around the three most important consumer benefits of any heating system: ECONOMY, COMFORT, and SAFETY. The resulting performance cannot be matched by any other system on the market.

*REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION: The Solar Comfort Heating System used 35% less energy than a conventional electric furnace/baseboard system, as proven in a utility's field test for a full heating season. Calculations show that the Solar Comfort will heat more efficiently than the Heat Pump. When compared with today's spiraling gas, propane, and fuel oil cost, the Solar Comfort Heating System provides even greater savings.

*HEAT NOT WASTED NEAR CEILING: Unique Solar Comfort process virtually prevents the wasteful air layering of the conventional heating systems.

*INEXPENSIVE, EASIER TO INSTALL: Lower purchase/installation cost per heated square foot. No special 24Ov wiring or expensive, inefficient ducting, piping or chimneys required. Home or business owners can install the system in most applications.

*ZONE HEATING CONCEPT SAVES MONEY: Using individually controlled units, the Solar Comfort System provides heat only where and when it is needed for more control over area comfort and energy bills.

*LOWER OPERATING/MAINTENANCE COST: Virtually maintenance free. No furnace filters to clean or replace. No burners to rust, corrode or adjust. Long- life industrial infrared lamps are replaced easily and inexpensively. A full three-year warranty--including lamps--protects the consumer's investment.

*DOES NOT REMOVE HUMIDITY FROM AIR: Actually helps maintain desirable humidity levels, while water does not readily collect on the windows as with conventional systems.

*EVEN HEAT, WARMER FLOORS: Due to Solar Comfort's unique concept, heated air does not concentrate near the ceiling as with all other conventional systems--for more comfort at floor level. Temperature difference, from floor to ceiling, is no more than 2 degrees fahrenheit.

*FEWER DRAFTS. QUIET: The Solar Comfort System's efficiency is based on the distribution of energized air. And water molecules and does not depend on high-speed airflow.

*CLEAN, FRESH AIR WITHOUT FURNACE FILTERS: In a total Solar Comfort heated environment the air will not readily suspend solid particles. Most dust and smoke will dissipate without the use filters.

*NO COMBUSTION, NO FUMES: A safe clean infrared heat chamber provides the energy. Tests prove the unit does not transmit any energy into the atmosphere that will burn or harm anyone, regardless of distance between the person and the heating unit.

*APPROVED FOR ZERO-CLEARANCE: The Solar Comfort unit may be installed next to flammable materials with no safety clearance needed.

*1-A INSURANCE RATING: This highest safety rating means the lowest possible insurance cost, offering additional savings in most areas.

*SOLAR COMFORT ELECTRONIC HEATING: Conserving energy and improving our living environment. No doubt you can see the potential of this extraordinary heating system for both SUPPLEMENTARY AND TOTAL HEATING. It is conceivable that the Solar Comfort Electronic Heating system revolutionized the heating industry in the same way that microwave cooking revolutionized food preparation.

2008-03-18T20:15:00.000-05:00

The Swash line of high-tech toilet seats combines the latest innovation and design to bring you a new level of luxury and hygiene. Better than a conventional toilet seat or bidet, the Swash features a heated seat and delivers a warm water wash with temperature, pressure, and pulsation adjustability.

1.5 pounds of wood
37 gallons of water
1.3 KWH of electricity
Harmful chlorine, sulfur, and calcium carbonate
Having a Brondell Swash in your home will reduce toilet paper consumption by 50 - 100% via the effective cleansing of the warm water wash and optional warm air dryer. In addition, a Swash only uses an average 5-7 cents of electricity per day - even less when the power saving feature is activated.
Comfort Meets Cleanliness
The Swash provides the latest innovation in bath products, making your bathroom experience more comfortable and clean.
