Smartcool Launches ECO3 Energy Evolution

VANCOUVER, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX-V: SSC) is pleased to present a new program promoting better energy efficiency for homes and businesses through Smartcool retrofits.  Full details are available at the new ECO3 Energy Evolution site: www.smartcooleco3.com.

Smartcool's ECO3 saves an average 20% of the energy used by compressors in air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump systems- including swimming pool heat pumps.  Over 9,000 ECO3 products have been installed globally for commercial and residential customers as their chosen energy efficiency retrofit.  Customers include convenience stores, restaurants, telecommunications & data centers, recreation facilities, office and retail businesses and single-family homes.

In a recent installation of the ECO3, a home in Florida achieved energy savings of 32% on its air conditioning system.  "In the first full month since we had the ECO3 installed, we have had the lowest electricity bill in 11 years!" exclaimed the homeowner.  See more examples of the ECO3 in action or watch a video of how it works here.

The ECO3 is installed by any electrician with basic Smartcool training and experience with air conditioning, refrigeration and/or heat pump systems.  Smartcool sells the ECO3 to distributors around the world and provides them with a full support package, including initial hands-on field training, product manuals and other documentation in a secure online library, and ongoing remote support.

Recruitment is under way for distributors, particularly in the USA and Europe.  Learn more about the ECO3 distribution opportunity here.

George Burnes, President and CEO of Smartcool puts the ECO3 Energy Evolution in perspective.  "We live in a world of rising energy prices, a troubled economy, and an environment in crisis.  These are big problems, ones that require multiple solutions that we already have available to help us adapt to the 'new normal'.  Smartcool's ECO3 is one of these solutions.  It can make a real difference in cutting energy consumption by systems that traditionally waste a huge amount of energy through inefficiency."

Mr. Burnes explains the connection between energy, money and the environment, and how Smartcool's ECO3 fits in.  "By reducing how much energy is used by air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump systems, the ECO3 also saves customers money by lowering their utility bills.  As an added bonus, the money saved on lower utility bills gives customers a return on their purchase of the ECO3 in as little as 12 months.   Every kilowatt saved by the ECO3 through improved energy efficiency, is one that does not need to be generated- and this helps reduce the amount of carbon emitted by fossil fueled power plants.  We are proud to give customers a product that can make a very real difference to their wallets, their communities and the planet."
