Radiant Panel Association Annual Project Showcase Awards

Press Release

For Immediate Release – August 18, 2008

HEATIZON SYSTEMS – Salt Lake City, Utah USA

Murray, Utah – Heatizon Systems is pleased to announce that its premier distributor, Warmquest, was the recipient of an unprecedented three awards at the Radiant Panel Associations annual Project Showcase Banquet held last week.

Each year the Radiant Panel Association holds a contest to showcase select radiant heating, radiant floor warming and radiant roof snow and ice melt projects in the United States and Canada. On Saturday, August 16, 2008 in Chicago, IL, the Radiant Panel Association announced this year’s Showcase Awards winners and presented Warmquest with three attractive trophies.

Warmquest, a full line Heatizon Systems distributor, was proud to accept an award for each of the Utah based projects it entered. The winning projects submitted by Warmquest included commercial as well as residential applications.

In the “Electric Radiant” category Warmquest won First Place for the electric snow melting at the Jordan Valley Water Treatment Plant. The Jordan Valley Water Treatment Plant used Heatizon Systems Tuff Cable radiant heating element in new pour concrete for its main visitor and employee entrance sidewalk areas.

A Second Place award in the “Simplicity” category was accepted by Warmquest for the Gamble Residence which used Heatizon Systems ZMesh heating element to heat its newly finished basement. ZMesh is an ideal product to effectively heat basements because it requires no floor build up, it can be installed under almost any floor covering, and, if designed and installed correctly, it is robust enough to both warm the floor and heat the entire living space.

The Third Place award in the “Retrofit” category was given to Warmquest for its driveway and sidewalk retrofit snow melt project at the Fox Residence. Low voltage Tuff Cable was installed into existing concrete giving the home owner a snow melt system without the expense and mess associated with tearing out and replacing perfectly good concrete.

Warmquest was represented at the awards banquet by Mike Bench.

Heatizon Snow Melting Takes Top Honors at RPA System Showcase Awards

Press Release

For Immediate Release – August 23, 2007

HEATIZON SYSTEMS – Salt Lake City, Utah USA

August 23, 2007 – Heatizon Systems products take top honors in the Snow & Ice Melting Division at the Radiant Panel Association System Showcase.

Murray, Utah – Heatizon Systems products have once again been recognized by the radiant industry at this year’s System Show Case Awards at the Radiant Panel Association and Radiant Expo convention, which was held in Hartford, Connecticut. Judges awarded Heatizon Systems products First Place in the Snow & Ice Melting Division for a roof deicing project which was installed in an LDS Church in Park City, Utah by WarmQuest, a Heatizon Systems Distributor.

Aesthetics, longevity and performance were the primary objectives when selecting the appropriate way to melt the snow and ice off of the roof of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints Stake Center located in Park City, Utah. Heatizon Systems Tuff Cable in a Heatsink Kit and Heatizon Systems ZMesh Roof Snow Melt and Deicing products were selected for the project because they were able to satisfy all three objectives. When the project was completed, approximately 3300 square feet of the roof of the large church located in snowy Park City, Utah was protected from ice dams, and icicles.
The architects desired to utilize metal in the valleys of the roof so Heatizon Systems Tuff Cable in a Heatsink Kit was selected for these areas. The Heatsink Kit was installed directly on top of ice and water shield. Then the Tuff Cable was installed into the Heatsink Kit. Once the Tuff Cable had been installed the Heatsink Kit was covered with ice and water shield, which was then covered with valley metal.

As for the eaves, ZMesh was selected and installed under the composite shingles approximately 8 feet up the roof. ZMesh was installed directly on top of ice and water shield (it could have been installed directly on top of the sub-roof but the ice and water shield was already in place). Once the ZMesh was stapled in place ice and water shield was installed directly on top of it. Composite shingles were then installed on top of the ice and water shield.

The roof snow melt and deicing systems are activated by an aerial mounted temperature/moisture sensor and an independent manual override for each of the 10 zones. The aerial mounted temperature/moisture sensor is wired to Heatizon Systems M329 Selector which turns each zone on in sequential order so the primary power source is not over loaded. The Selector also provides manual override to turn one or more of the zones on.

Heatizon Systems products have won numerous awards over the years, including 3rd place in the 1 to 5 Radiant Zones Category in 2006 for a space heating project, 1st Place in the Electrical Radiant Division in 2005 for a roof deicing project at the Park City Community Church, as well as 1st Place in the Electrical Commercial Division for a 77 zone snow melting project under granite pavers at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Heatizon Strategically Issued Patent for Roof Ice Melt Systems

Press Release

For Immediate Release – July 4, 2006

HEATIZON SYSTEMS – Salt Lake City, Utah USA

July 4, 2006 – Heatizon Systems is issued patent for roof snow and ice melt system.

Murray, Utah – Heatwave Systems L.L.C. d.b.a. Heatizon Systems is pleased to announce that it has obtained the rights to a patented under roof snow and ice melt technology designed to be installed under metal roofs, valley metal, and metal flashing. The patented product will be marketed under the brand name “Heatizon Heatsink Kit” and will utilize Heatizon Systems “Tuff Cable” heating element. Heatizon Systems roof snow and ice melt products will continue to be marked with the ETL mark for under roof covering material applications.

Steven Bench, Managing Member for Heatizon Systems, said, “We are extremely excited about the market potential for roof snow and ice melt that can be installed under metal roofing materials. Prior technologies for metal roofing materials have all attached to the exterior of the roof covering and were designed to provide a channel for water to escape the roof. Heatizon Systems products are designed to eliminate snow and ice from potential problematic areas of the roof, thereby eliminating the potential for ice dams and the damage they cause.”

Like all of Heatizon Systems low voltage products “Tuff Cable in a Heatsink Kit” proudly carries the ETL mark that indicates that it has satisfied the appropriate testing required by UL Standards. Bench stated, “Our research leads us to believe that Heatizon Systems roof snow and ice melt products are the only ones specifically listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory for application under the roof covering material.”

Shawn Wright, with WarmQuest, an official distributor of Heatizon Systems products, commented, “I am not aware of any other heating element product that is both designed to be installed permanently under the roof covering material and is listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory for roof snow and ice melting.”

Heatizon Systems products compete in the highly competitive radiant heating industry against many high voltage and hot water products. Unfortunately, some of the products that compete against Heatizon Systems floor warming, space heating, snow melting and roof snow and ice melting products are:

not listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory; and/or,
not being installed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the standards to which they have been tested and labeled.

Heatizon is Awarded a Patent on Heatsink Systems for Deicing Under Roof Coverings

Press Release

July 27, 2006

HEATIZON SYSTEMS – Salt Lake City, Utah USA

Murray, Utah – Heatwave Systems L.L.C. d.b.a. Heatizon Systems (“Heatizon”) is pleased to announce that one of its members, Steven D. Bench, was recently awarded a patent for a technology designed to remove snow and ice from the roofs of residences, and commercial and industrial buildings. Mr. Bench has assigned the manufacturing rights for the product covered by the patent to Heatwave Systems L.L.C. d.b.a. Heatizon Systems.

Heatizon manufactures a complete line of radiant in-floor space heating; radiant snow melting; radiant space heating; and, radiant roof snow and ice melt products. The company’s radiant roof snow and ice melt products are unique in the following four ways. First, they are designed to be installed under the roof covering material so they are permanent and not aesthetically distracting. Second, Heatizon Systems radiant roof snow and ice melting products totally remove the snow and ice off of the roof rather than melting just the eave line or merely providing a path for water like the traditional heat tape products. Third, they are engineered to last longer than most roof covering materials; and, Fourth, they are manufactured in the United States of America.

Russ Childs, with Heatizon Systems, said “we are extremely excited about the market possibilities of the newly patented technology. Like all of our products, those built utilizing the newly patented technology are specifically listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory for application under the roof covering material.”

According to Steven Bench, Managing Member for Heatizon Systems, “Heatizon Systems long standing objective of being on the leading edge of product development, for the applications for which it endeavors to compete, has once again been satisfied.”

Shawn Wright, of WarmQuest, an official distributor of Heatizon Systems products, commented: “I am not aware of any other radiant roof snow and ice melting product that is designed to be installed permanently under the roof covering material and listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory for roof snow and ice melting. There are, however, many roof snow and ice melt products that are designed to be installed on top of the roof covering material and in the gutters and downspouts but only Heatizon Systems products are designed to be completely invisible once the roof covering materials are installed.”

Heatizon Systems is located at 4137 South 500 West, Murray, Utah, 84123. For additional information on Heatizon Systems or its fine products please visit www.Heatizon.com or contact Heatizon Systems at either (801) 293-1232 or info@heatizon.com

“The software on the Radiant 8 has been engineered to maximize performance. Once the proper values are entered into the Radiant 8 programming, the Radiant 8 provides carefree operation” says Heatizon Product Manager Alan Christensen.

The Radiant 8 is self diagnosing, and uses a visual display to report any information about the system. Coupled with a built in alarm to alert users to any detected faults, this visual display simplifies any troubleshooting that may occur. To provide added control, the unit includes built in ground fault protection.

Like our CBX units, the Radiant 8 houses a step down transformer and the necessary controls for powering low voltage ZMesh or Tuff Cable radiant heating systems. For more details about this control unit visit: http://www.heatizon.com/files/components/control-units-radiant8.pdf
