TPI/Markel Hotpod Inline Duct Heater

Description

What is hotpod?
The Hotpod is a device, installed in existing ductwork, which will allow the homeowner to control the temperature of an individual room. The Hotpod can also be installed with the optional Silent Boot (sold separately) that gives customers a premium, noise-reduced duct system.

Installation:
The hotpod will be professionally installed by a local heating and cooling contractor in existing ductwork, hard wired and controlled by a standard heating or cooling thermostat.

Heating:
Heating is achieved by energizing the heating element and using its own internal fan to deliver warm air to the room.

• Do you turn up your thermostat in the morning for the whole house…just to have a warm bathroom?
• When you leave home for vacation during the winter months, do you worry about “what if” the furnace fails?
• Do you want to keep the baby’s room at a warmer temperature, and the rest of the house cooler?
• Now you can have a warm bathroom, a back-up system for the furnace and a consistently warm baby’s room.

Cooling:
Cooling is achieved by using the internal fan to deliver conditioned air from the main ducts and or other conditioned areas, until the desired temperature is reached.

Quiet Operation:
Because the hotpod can be equipped with the optional Silent Boot (sold separately), the hotpod operates incredibly quiet. The Silent Boot can also be used with any existing ductwork to reduce noise.
