Rising Crude Oil Costs Cut 30%
By New Home Heating Technology

Elk River, MN. (January 31, 2000) -- SolarAttic, Inc. announced today that its new home heating technology will eliminate an estimated 30% of the crude oil currently needed for heating homes when applied on a nationwide basis. Above the Frost Belt, the new technology captures warm attic air in the fall and spring and relocates it into the home to reduce home heating costs. Below the Frost Belt, the new technology will capture warm attic air even in the winter. The source of this free heat is solar energy that exists in most attics. This renewable energy resource has previously been ignored until now. An early version of the SolarAttic space heater has been tested in 16 states for over 10 years with minimal or no maintenance costs. The new technology has been reported to reduce annual heating costs in Ohio and West Virginia by up to 30% annually. In Minnesota and Canada, the technology is estimated to reduce annual heating costs by 15% while below the Frost Belt it could eliminate 50-60% of annual heating costs.

SolarAttic's CEO, Ed Palmer said: "The company's new home heating technology was advanced significantly during 1999 when we developed a new electronic control and temperature sensing system. The new control and sensor will replace older mechanical devices and will allow for maximum collection of wasted attic heat energy. The company now expects that a line of these new home heating products will become available on a limited basis by as early as the next heating season. Ultimately, crude oil price hikes by oil producers will backfire as new heating technologies such as SolarAttic's are widely used."

SolarAttic has developed an exciting new energy technology that transforms the attic. People will never view their attic the same way again—when they realize their attic can reduce their utility bills by providing free solar heat energy for their home.
