Aqua-Therm becomes exclusive representative for Kunzel Indoor Pellet Boiler

(28/05/2009)

Aqua-Therm has announced that the company has become the exclusive representative for the European Indoor Pellet Boiler by Kunzel.

David Laursen, Aqua-Therm's owner said: "This is an exciting strategic relationship we have formed with Kuenzel GmbH & Co, the German manufacturer of the Kunzel Pellet Boiler. This relationship means introducing one of the best built, most efficient pellet fired, indoor boilers on the market today to residential and small commercial users in the U.S. The Kunzel Pellet Boilers are 91% efficient and available in 2 sizes, a 35,000 Btu unit (will heat most homes under 1,500 sq. ft.) and a 70,000 Btu unit (suitable for homes up to 3,000 sq. ft.) with a 140,000 Btu unit available later this fall".

Aqua-Therm now represents two high-quality indoor boilers, the Kunzel Indoor Pellet Burning Boilers (branded the Pellet-One by Kunzel in the US), which is offered throughout the entire United States exclusively through Aqua-Therm, and the Econoburn Wood Burning Indoor Boilers, available from Aqua-Therm throughout the U.S. with the exception of the New England and Mid-Atlantic areas, where Econoburn will continue using its own sales organization. Aqua-Therm will be using the resources of its well established, experienced sales organization to introduce these two great products to the US Market.

"This is the culmination of a lot of hard work from a lot of people," stated Laursen. "Aqua-Therm is evolving into a complete alternative energy company for residential and small commercial solutions. The addition of Pellet-One and Econoburn indoor boilers mark the first steps toward a totally re-defined business and market strategy focused on bringing complete alternative energy solutions to residential and small commercial customers," said Laursen.

When asked if there are other product additions coming soon to Aqua-Therm, Laursen stated that the company is pursuing the addition of micro wind turbines to its product offering and is talking with a select group of potential manufacturers.

"Already a huge market throughout Europe, pellet boilers are becoming a big part of the newest and fastest growing heating market in the US. The addition of the Pellet-One boiler to our current, high-quality line-up of outdoor boilers is really the icing on the cake," stated Laursen. "With our existing line of Aqua-Therm and Eco-One branded Outdoor Wood Fired Boilers, Pellet-One and Econoburn represent a great opportunity to give the end-user a perfect indoor boiler option for reducing their dependence on fossil fuels, and most likely lowering their overall heating costs at the same time. Aqua-Therm now offers high-quality outdoor and indoor, wood and pellet fired boilers for residential and small commercial use," added Reid Kubesh, President of Aqua-Therm.

The Pellet-One and the Econoburn Indoor Wood Fired Boiler are both part of the cleaner, lower emissions, and new generation of products that have been introduced into the market in recent years. Econoburn Boilers are manufactured in Dunkirk, NY. Pellet-One Boilers are manufactured in Germany by Kuenzel GmbH & Co.
