2008 Innovation of the Year: A New Home Heating and Cooling Technology that
Saves Energy, the Earth - and Your Money
The Acadia: Combined Heating and Cooling System is born from a frustration
with high energy bills and revolutionizes home comfort

BANGOR, Maine, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2008, a new-to-market invention
created by a frustrated engineer is revolutionizing how consumers heat and
cool their homes. The Acadia: Combined Heating and Cooling System from
Hallowell International (http://www.gotohallowell.com), was born from the
inventor's aggravation from ever-higher energy bills. This all-electric single
system delivers a new level of efficiency and performance for both heating and
cooling, dramatically reduces monthly energy bills and, by not using fossil
fuels, eases a household's strain on the environment. Indeed, the Acadia
outperforms conventional heating systems by 300 percent.
From everyday homeowners to military housing contractors, consumers across
the US and Canada are realizing the benefits of the Acadia. How does it work?
Like inventing a better mousetrap, the inventor took his knowledge of
traditional heat pump technology (which won't heat when temperatures drop
below freezing), and improved it with his patented Opti-Cycle(TM) technology
which enables the Acadia to run efficiently no matter what the weather outside
-- even in temperatures as cold as minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
"The Acadia is a simple way for consumers to save on their energy bills,
reduce energy consumption and do their part to help save the Earth," said
Duane A. Hallowell, President and CEO of Hallowell International. "We continue
to develop technologies that will aid in protecting our planet and are within
reach to the average consumer."
