Why was the ēKOCOMFORT® system developed?

The ēKOCOMFORT® system was developed for two main reasons: In response to the international call to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions - and to add the important component of ventilation to integrated heating systems.

How was ēKOCOMFORT® technology developed?

In 1999, the federal government of Canada contributed $3.6 million and private industry another $10 million to support the development of ēKOCOMFORT® technology.

Administered by the Heating Refrigeration Air Conditioning Institute of Canada, a consortium was formed, made up of manufacturing companies, utilities, industry associations and government departments, to collaborate efforts in producing affordable, high-performance integrated heating systems primarily for residential use.

Six manufacturing groups, supported by a network of contractors and subcontractors across Canada, participated in the initial product development, offering their time, expertise and resources to ensure a high standard of reliability and quality.

Product development included field trials in 150 Canadian homes and extensive lab testing.

ēKOCOMFORT® systems are supported by long-term manufacturer warranties and a certified industry training program.

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.

The ēKOCOMFORT® system is the result of a major partnership between government and the private sector in Canada.

Federal government departments, led by Natural Resources Canada, with a mandate to improve energy efficient technologies, worked closely with utilities, manufacturers, industry associations and others, to produce this family of products.
