A Great Night Showcasing the Future of Home Heating – Off Oil Open House 2012

reVision heat in Brewer opened their showroom doors last Friday, January 6, 2012 for an educational evening discussing the Future of Home Heating in Maine. Despite a dreary day filled with snow and sleet, our Off Oil Open House was a success. Over 100 people weathered the storm to attend. Inside our showroom, people warmed themselves up by the heat of our ÖkoFEN fully automated pellet boiler and Rika pellet stove as they learned more about oil heat alternatives and how to save money on their current heating system.

“I am encouraged by the turn out. Even with less than perfect weather, folks came out to see what the future of home heating looks like.  I hope they left armed with enough information to make a decision about their next step on the road off oil.” ~Lee Landry, reVision heat

Mingling in our crowd were representatives from Senator Snow & Collins offices, Kenneth Fletcher, Governor LePage’s Director of Energy and Independence, members of Bangor Greendrinks, Unity College, Eastern Maine Community College, Bangor Gas, ReVision Energy staff, local auditors, realtors, building contractors, happy clients, and new friends.

Our managing partners spent the evening sharing insights and education on various heating technologies such as Natural Gas Boilers/Furnaces, Pellet Boilers, Gasifying Wood Boilers, Air Source Heat Pumps, and Pellet Stoves.  Many were surprised to hear that while we will not install an oil boiler, we do find ways to make them run more efficient and use less oil. Four lucky attendees will get to experience a savings of up to 100 gallons of oil per year with the Free Oil Boiler Optimization they won.

Around 6pm, Maine Energy Systems (MeSys) filled our 4 ton pellet hopper using the truck that Trans-Tech, a Brewer company, custom designed for them. Dutch Dresser from MeSYS enthralled our crowd with a few words on the importance of using biomass for home heating.

By the end of our evening, the snow came to a close and our attendees left with great insights on alternative heating in Maine and a safer drive home to enjoy. We want to extend our gratitude to everyone that attended or made our open house a big success. We appreciate you all. Enjoy more photos from the event on Facebook.
