SSHC December 2002 News Letter

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the SSHC Internet News Update. In this space we will communicate news, technical, installation, and design information updates. Of course, the web site will continually be updated to reflect the latest product information, while this space will focus more on product applications, energy market updates, and tips to help compare ENERJOY to conventional heating alternatives.

To many people, the Internet is the easy way to find out about products they know must exist, but cannot be found in conventional distribution channels. Frustrated after asking all of their usual sources of information about electric heating options, they turn to libraries, key word searches, and friends. And, the usual motivation is dissatisfaction with their present heating system: too cold, too dusty, too expensive, too much maintenance, etc.

If you are in this category of people looking for better heating, here are the standard features you will experience with ENERJOY: No dust, No noise, No odor, No maintenance, No moving parts to break or wear out, No compromise of floor space use, No utility room required, No fuel hookups, No fuel tanks, No danger of explosion, No carbon monoxide danger, No drying of air, No heating of space before people, No wasting of energy due to single central system control: just warm radiant comfort!

If these standard features match your list of heating system requirements, you will enjoy your journey through the sshcinc.com Table of Contents.
