Bob Vila's Show #1002 featured SIPS
construction system & our patented Drain Water Heat Recovery (DHR) system.
The photo at the right shows how simple a GFX-installation can be in a
properly designed house. GFX's simplicity seemed to impress Bob Vila as he
described it on his show.
Testimonial From Vermont
"My
testimonial would be that my GFX allows me to increase the capacity of my
40 gal. LP-fired water heater which is being used to provide heat in a 2000
sq. ft. home and domestic hot water for a family of 4. Cool, huh? -Matt."
A GFX
permits homeowners like Matt to save energy & money by downsizing water
heaters to lower standby loss --- which can account for a whopping 40% of
the operating cost of gas storage water heaters. Residential oil-fired
boilers can waste 14 million Btu/yr; far more when installed in vented
utility rooms where pipes have been known to freeze on bitter cold nights.

Cheaper Than Oil
Solar-compatible,
Tankless Electric,
combined space & water-heating systems can cost less than oil to
install, maintain and operate; even in homes or apartments where a Solar system
is not practical.
Zero-Energy
homes become practical when designed to be compatible with large Solar-PV or
Windmill systems having a capacity of more than 10kW – even in cold
climates.
Tankless
gas & electric water heaters, which are common in Europe, pay for
themselves by eliminating standby loss. A Virginia Power Report
shows a GFX Model G3-60 boosted
the Energy Factor (EF) of a tankless electric water heater from about 0.99 into
the 1.49 to 1.71 range, depending upon use pattern.
