U.S. EPA verified 75% savings of electrical energy and greenhouse gases
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Technology Center conducted a 15-month test of the EarthLinked® Commercial Water Heating system performance. The test was conducted in an assisted living facility in Sun City Center, Florida (see Senior Care Group below).
The EPA report verifies 75% savings of electrical energy by the EarthLinked system in comparison with electric resistance water heating.
By avoiding the generation of that amount of electricity, a typical EarthLinked unit avoids the emission of 7,000 pounds of carbon dioxide and 15 pounds of nitrous oxide per ton of capacity per year, which amounts to 42,000 pounds of CO2 and 90 pounds of NOX each year by a typical 6-ton capacity EarthLinked unit. That is equivalent to not burning 3,642 gallons of gasoline or 74 barrels of oil annually.

Tarrytown, New York & Newton, New Jersey, U.S.
Franklin Towers, an 81-unit multi-family building in Tarrytown, New York, installed two EarthLinked systems to pre-heat 1,300 gallons of water to 115°F daily and reduce the cost of heating water with oil-fired boilers. Monthly savings in the next 24 months averaged 68%.
After visiting that installation in New York, Kimberly Woodhull, the Executive Director of the Newton, New Jersey Housing Authority, decided to install an EarthLinked system in Liberty Towers, an 80-unit senior living residence. In two years, the system saved $32,000 and the Housing Authority received an Award of Merit from the National Association of Public Housing and Redevelopment Officials for its innovative energy saving solution.
