The products seems like a great idea, and could solve a lot of the "oversize" vent-free complaints. For Immediate Release Contact: Ed LaPointe (877) 866-6902 INNOVATIVE ELECTRIC EMBER BED (E) TECHNOLOGY OFFERS CLEANEST BURNING, VENT-FREE HEARTH PRODUCT LINE ON THE MARKET LISBON, IA - (September 14, 1999) Innovative Hearth Products, Incorporated (innohearth) was founded in March 1999 by Ed La Pointe and Dave Merrill. According to Merrill "In an industry full of copy cat designs, our = products will be differentiated through innovative designs and technologies". Based on this strategy, this Iowa-based company is sure to enter the = market a step ahead of the pack. Innohearths initial product offering will be eight vent-free gas log sets, one vent-free firebox and eight vent-free fireplaces. The gas log sets combine a gas burner optimized for clean combustion with Innohearths new patent-pending E (electric ember bed) Technology. This system creates a dramatically realistic and attractive product that stands alone in todays market. Strikingly lower emissions, including water vapor and CO2, (per BTU/hr) are currently unmatched in the industry and give Innohearth a leading edge among the competition (CO emissions may be slightly lower in catalytic units). La Pointe adds that funneling all the gas supply to the main burner, results in a naturally beautiful flame that utilizes less gas than ever before. This allows Innohearths fireplace products to comply with building codes formerly = unmet in the industry perfect for installation in bedrooms and other small areas. Innohearths products are manufactured in Lisbon, Iowa, under the direction of Merrill, an award-winning designer and pioneer of gas hearth appliances since the late 1980s. Vent-free log sets are available in 18 and 24 configurations using 15,000 BTU/hr or 26,000 BTU/hr respectively (the electric ember bed utilizes 5,000 BTU/hr.). Merrills expertise coupled with La Pointes extensive knowledge of appliances and manufacturing techniques ensures Innohearth will provide superior customer service and technical support. Vent free log sets will be available for shipment on September 20th and vent-free fireboxes and fireplaces will be on the = market by the end of November. For further information about Innovative Hearth Products, Inc., or the product offering contact Ed LaPointe at (877 ) 866-6900. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
