Interesting Money Saving Idea

This is a neat little product called the “Air Pear.” It uses a prinicpal called stratification to distribute even heat. It can sure get cold in the metro area and I’m guessing that you may have some ceiling mounted heaters. Somehting I learned in school was that heat rises….so if your heat starts out at the top of the building – where do you think most of it stays? Right. So this little unit take the heat and pushes it down to the floor causing a uniform temperature in your building. Check out some videos here -> Videos

These little units are really cost effective, have a low current draw, and can help you put that good used money (read – bought heat) down where you really wanted it in the first place.

If you have any questions, or would like to have a demo at your facility – please give John a call at CED Omaha – 402-592-7500

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
