Radiant Heating
Electro Plastics, Inc./STEP Warm oor
Electro Plastics manufacturers STEP Warm oor heating elements based on self-regulating PTC Nano Poly Carbon Technology. The system operates on low-voltage and is extremely energy ef cient. The elements can be connected to AC power supplies or directly to DC solar panels. Because the elements are self-regulating, they cannot overheat. The elements are cut to length on site, making the system suitable for both new construction and remodeling,
for primary heating and oor warming. Other applications include snowmelt and deicing for roofs, decks, pipes, containers, and ships. All products are made in the USA with environmentally friendly and recyclable materials.

Solar HVAC Equipment Manufacturer
Multiaqua Inc.
The MHRC-AE chiller features a built in solar inverter that allows a connection from solar power directly to the chiller. The chiller captures 100% of the refrigeration process waste heat that is normally rejected to the air. The unit will operate in dedicated cooling, dedicated heating, or water to water simultaneous heating and cooling modes. It does not have to be in the cooling mode to make heat. With this system, it is possible to cool rooms as well as heat showers, sinks, or a swimming pool with the same outdoor unit thereby eliminating the need and cost of traditional water heating methods.
