Product Spotlight
HTP has introduced a new residential electric water heater, the EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response, that provides the same amount of hot water as a 100-gallon electric water heater from a 55-gallon tank.
The heater is available in 55 gallon capacity, and includes a lifetime tank warranty and six-year part warranty with online registration. The water heater will be on display at the AHR Expo at Ariston’s Booth N1140 beginning Monday, January 22.
The EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response includes integrated scald protection and I-Memory, a self-learning habit algorithm which ensures users will have hot water when they need it and save energy when they don’t.
Other features include daily scheduling to guarantee hot water is available when it’s needed most; electronic temperature control with an energy cut-off to prevent overheating; a user-friendly LCD display to allow easy view of operational status, parameter changing and diagnostics; a factory-installed pressure release valve; a durable brass drain valve; and dryfire protection, which protects the water heater from damaging the elements if the tank is not properly filled.
The unit offers maximum durability and is constructed with 316L stainless steel and low-watt density titanium elements. The EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response is designed to make installation a breeze; its light weight construction makes it easier to handle than traditional glass-lined water heaters and fits seamlessly into the footprint of a traditional 80 gallon electric water heater. Jurisdictions that require installation of a thermostatic mixing valve will have out-of-the-box compliance.
Performance advantages include a 77-gallon first hour rating (FHR), a UEF rating of 0.94 and up to 115 gallons of 105˚F at the fixture when then tank is set to 170˚F. It meets all efficiency requirements of the Department of Energy and is NAECA III compliant.

The Ambient Air-to-Water Hydronic Heat Pump is introduced by U.S. Boiler Company for residential customers looking to upgrade their hydronic systems with the most efficient electric option available.
The new heat pump has a 5-ton capacity (rated at 60 MBH) and provides reliable space heating with outdoor temperatures as low as -13°F. Offering a COP of up to 3.95 (395% efficiency) and delivering supply temperatures of up to 140°F, the Ambient Heat Pump offers significant energy savings over conventional electric heating systems.
Installation is simple, whether the monoblock heat pump is installed in a new residence or is retrofitted into an existing hydronic system. It’s also easy to install as a stand-alone heat source or in dual-fuel applications.
The heat pump uses environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant for high efficiency and low global warming potential. Its DC inverter Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology is extremely quiet, with operating sound levels as low as 39 decibels at two-foot distance (quieter than most refrigerators).
The Ambient Heat Pump is available with an optional dual-fuel controller for applications in extremely cold climates. The controller, as part of a kit, allows the installer to seamlessly integrate the heat pump with a new or existing fossil fuel or electric boiler. No additional venting or re-sizing of existing hydronic piping is necessary.
The new system is available as a stand-alone unit, or as part of two different packages, depending on whether the heat pump will be the only source of hydronic heat in the home or in tandem with a boiler.
Both packages include a 5.7-inch touchscreen controller which is mounted inside the home. Other packaged accessories include a 40-gallon buffer tank with backup heating elements, a Taco® 0013 circulator, circulator flange kit, flat plate heat exchanger, pressure relief valve, drain valve, and relays.

iFLO Will Save HVAC Technicians Nuisance Calls, Save Homeowners from an Out-Of-Service HVAC
Professional HVAC Specialists have a new friend in the smart home space, to help save them time, make them some money, and service customers more conveniently. iFLO® is the first-of-its-kind, smart automated device that dispenses a bio-enzymatic cleaning solution directly into the AC drain line and drain pan actively breaking down and flushing out the build-up that leads to clogs, floods, and shutdowns. iFLO patented technology uses geo-location and reads local temperature, and humidity levels to customize maintenance needs. iFLO is on a mission to save HVAC technicians from nuisance calls and homeowners from unnecessary costly clogs.
iFlo is thrilled to be launching at the AHR Expo in Chicago with partners Watsco Distribution, and Dealers: Air Pro’s, All Year Cooling. Come visit booth N2067 at AHR in Chicago January 22-24.
How it works for the PROS
- Real Time Outbound Calls:Patented “Smart” Float Switch immediately alerts service provider when condensate line is clogged.
- Recurring Revenue:Enroll your customers in 6-month service calls to replace iFLO® bottles, saving homeowners the hassle of needing to remember and do it themselves.
- Real-time dashboard:Provide service techs with custom admin panel identifying location and status of iFLO® customers.
When an HVAC Expert includes iFLO on a new HVAC install, it ensures the unit will run smoothly. This is especially helpful, as in year one, when the unit is under warranty HVAC technicians often have to absorb the cost, or work with insurance to get paid on calls related to the unit not working, that many times, are caused by a clogged drainpipe. Something iFLO was invented specifically to target and solve.
Stay in control Using AI-based technology, the FLO app can geo-locate users and provide a customized dispensing schedule based on humidity and temperature. iFLO proprietary cleaning solution lasts for 3-6 months depending on location. Through the app, utilize a variety of subscription plans, something that an HVAC service provider can offer to customers, including installation.
“iFLO is a revolutionary smart home product that will change the landscape for servicing and maintaining HVAC units,” says Joe McDonell, inventor iFLO, “By installing iFLO a PRO can make sure that their customers units are running smoothly. Shut downs, water damage, leaks related to clogged drain pipes are no longer an issue with iFLO smart device and proprietary cleaning solution. With the app there is ability to service from a far, and ensure the AC doesn’t shut down, especially when it’s needed most, and create an unhappy customer.”
Why iFLO is needed: ACs cool the space and eliminate excess humidity by passing warm air through the cold condensation coils located inside the air handler. Condensation forms on the coils and collects in a catch basin. When the condensation mixes with biological particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and airborne germs, a thick jelly-like mucus called “Zooglea” starts to form. Zooglea becomes sticky and gummy as it builds up inside the condensate drain line, eventually clogging the PVC pipe and causing the AC to either shut down or overflow.
Why Does Zooglea Matter? Before 2015, condensation coils contained copper, an antimicrobial inhibitor slowing the growth of bacteria that minimized clogs between six to nine months. Due to the rising cost of materials, manufacturers have since replaced copper with aluminum. Unlike copper, aluminum does not inhibit the growth of Zooglea. The number of ACs replaced every year has increased by 5-6%, further exacerbating the problem.
iFLO Kit Includes: Device, 36oz Drain Cleaner, Drain Line Connector/Adaptor
