Payback within 2 years from fuel savings

About twice cost of condensing boiler Similar installation costs inside house
But have to mount evaporator on outside wall

Use existing boiler installers with same trade skills

No refrigeration skills necessary

Fuel savings give pay-back in ~24 months

As low as 12 months for our newest technology

Even more attractive with Government incentives

In summary
30% fuel savings with more on the way Fits within standard wallmounted unit Retrofit market using existing installers Payback in about 2 years, possibly much less Selling technology & components to boiler OEMs
