The EPA's Greenhouse Gas Technology Center verified that renewable energy from the earth reduced electricity consumption for water heating by 75% at a Florida nursing home. The report also confirmed that the EarthLinked system can avoid the emission of up to 7,000 pounds of carbon and 50 pounds of nitrous oxide per year for each ton (12,000 BTUs) of compressor capacity.
The EarthLinked system developed by Lakeland, FL-based ECR Technologies, offers the highest efficiency of any powered water heating system. The systems have been heating water since 1983, as an optional feature of EarthLinked residential space heating and cooling systems.
They are appropriate for apartment or condo buildings, motels, universities, restaurants, health care facilities, food processing operations and a variety of other commercial users.
"The technology has proven itself over twenty-three years of reliable operation," said Hal Roberts, ECR's CEO. "What's new is the way the geothermal heat pump system is coupled to traditional water heaters to work in tandem to increase efficiency, capacity and reliability to meet high-volume water heating needs."

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer
HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
