Comparison between a typical system and the ēKOCOMFORT® system

Special Features

Advanced Integrated Mechanical Systems:

The ēKOCOMFORT® system is the trademarked name for a family of advanced integrated mechanical systems.

These systems combine the functions of space heating, ventilation and hot water heating - and provide for add-on cooling (such as air conditioning) - all to achieve high levels of energy efficiency and performance.

Intelligent controls and high efficiency fans and motors are included. Systems may be a single unit or multiple components that integrate easily.

Much more than combination systems:

Typical combination systems provide space heating and water heating. The ēKOCOMFORT® system, however, provides a complete system with superior energy-performance for the home of today and tomorrow, including such essential elements as ventilation, efficient fans/pumps/motors and smart controls, all covered in a single warranty.

Check out the benefits and advantages of buying a ēKOCOMFORT® unit.

Air Handler

ēKOCOMFORT® systems feature an advanced circulating fan control, motor and strategy which significantly reduces electrical consumption. An efficient commutating motor allows the fan speed to match heat output with heat requirements, reducing electrical consumption by ensuring fan operation at a lower level when the demand for heat is lower. Circulating fans are strategically located in an ēKOCOMFORT® system so that only one motor is needed to provide air circulation, heat recovery ventilation, supply of combustion air and expulsion of combustion products.

Heat Recovery Ventilation

Heat recovery ventilation is the most energy efficient method of providing continuous fresh air to your home. Every ēKOCOMFORT® system uses a Heat Recovery Ventilator, which uses the heat from stale air being exhausted from your home to warm incoming fresh air. Heat Recovery Ventilators are designed to minimize moisture problems and ensure healthy, fresh air is provided to all areas of the home.

Heat Generation

ēKOCOMFORT® systems are integrated systems - one source heats your water and your home. Integration means better system efficiencies. An ēKOCOMFORT® system is more energy efficient than most systems using separate components. ēKOCOMFORT® systems use energy efficient gas burners that are direct vented or induced draft. There is no standing pilot light, which increases energy efficiency.

Water Storage

ēKOCOMFORT® systems are designed to provide plentiful hot water for all your household needs. Integrated control systems mean that hot water loads are given system priorities so that any hot water demand is supplied. ēKOCOMFORT® systems also operate at superior efficiencies to conventional water heaters.

Radiant in-floor heat

Luxurious radiant in-floor heat is an easy option for most ēKOCOMFORT® systems. ēKOCOMFORT® uses hot water to heat your home, the same heat source used in radiant systems. What's more, ēKOCOMFORT® can combine the luxury of radiant heat with a healthy forced air system.

Greater comfort, greater control, greater efficiency — the ēKOCOMFORT® system makes sense.

Control HVAC installation costs with a single product from a single manufacturer with a single warranty.

Integration means simpler installation and easier maintenance.

Canada takes the lead

The trend towards integration is worldwide. In Japan, companies like Mitsubishi are producing heat pump systems that integrate space heating, domestic hot water and ventilation. But the capacity of these systems is low so they would not be able to meet the space and water heating needs in Canada.

European manufacturers have also had success with combination systems. However, their capacities and control systems are insufficient for the diverse weather conditions in Canada. These systems also do not typically include provision for ventilation.
