Congressman Arcuri Explores Micro-CHP Technology During Visit to ECR Facility in Utica
ECR showcases energy-efficient technology, freewatt® residential home heating system
Utica, NY (PRWEB) March 5, 2009 - Congressman Michael Arcuri (NY-24) visited ECR International's headquarters in Utica, N.Y., late last week to tour the facility and meet with the ECR leadership team regarding the company's micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) technology, the freewatt® home heating system.

With a focus on maximizing the use of fuel energy, micro-CHP technology combines heat and power with its dual approach of generating electricity while heating a home.
"The electricity produced through micro-CHP technology can be used to power the home or can be sold back to the 'grid,'" said Michael Paparone, ECR International president and CEO. "micro-CHP also provides grid support and reliability to electric power systems that are already approaching peak capacity and can also help electric utilities meet emission reduction mandates."
micro-CHP has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as one of two technologies designated as a Climate Choice technology. According to the EPA, Climate Choice is a new partnership program that recognizes emerging technologies that have the potential to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions once they are more widely adopted.
