Higher return on investment
No matter where your commercial operations are located, you can generally recover the initial investment in 3 to 4 years depending on the EarthLinked® system’s configuration, usage and the cost of competitive energy sources. The more you use its efficiency, the higher the return on your investment.
Greater savings and convenience
When you select EarthLinked, you choose a system that delivers up to 400% efficiency (for every unit of electricity used to operate the compressor, the system delivers 4 units of heat) compared to a typical 80-85% efficiency for commercial gas water heating. This means you can lower your water heating costs up to 75% and stabilize your operating costs. Because EarthLinked’s heat source is always available, you can shift demand off-peak and thereby use lower electric rates for water heating where such rates are available.
Reduced exposure to rising energy costs
- Stabilize your energy budget by reducing exposure to escalating energy prices and reduce your energy dependence
- Because of EarthLinked’s unique mechanical simplicity the system offers greater reliability and minimal maintenance, thereby reducing your operational costs
Power up your marketing with green messaging
Position your organization as a leader in energy efficiency and emissions reductions to increase the loyalty of your customers and stockholders. The selection of clean technology with high Net Present Value demonstrates good fiscal management and environmental responsibility. It also creates a certain cachet, demonstrating astute management.
Field testing by U.S. EPA verified avoidance up to 42,600 pounds of CO2 and 90 pounds of NOx each year by a typical 6-ton system. That equates to not burning 3,642 gallons of gasoline or 74 barrels of oil.
Versatile and convenient
A single EarthLinked 6-ton system can pre-heat 2,500 gallons per day to 110°F for commercial applications. If necessary the preheated water temperature can be boosted to a higher temperature by a standard commercial water heater.
Small and easy
EarthLinked can be easily located in the mechanical room of your building because of its small size and no need for air or water loop circulation.
Mechanically simple and reliable
Because of its unique mechanical simplicity the system offers greater reliability, minimal maintenance and easy integration with existing air distribution systems.
- No exterior coil, fan, fan motor and capacitor, defrost timer and ancillary wiring
- No flue gas venting
- No explosion or asphyxiation hazard
- No combustion air supply needed
- No gas main needed
