Have you ever been in a room in your house that just never feels warm enough? Isn’t that frustrating when you can walk down the hall into another room that’s warmer? You can pull the old portable heater out of the basement and plug it up, but then you have to remember to turn it off or unplug it, and you always worry about one of the kids or pets bumping into it. The other option is to cover up with more blankets!

Let us make another suggestion! TPI Corporation, a world leader in electric heating for over 60 years, would like to introduce you to the Hotpod.The Hotpod is a product that lets you use the existing duct work in your home to install a completely out of the way heater - a heater that works in conjunction with your central system or heat pump as a supplemental heat source. It works with your system but can be controlled separately, so when you don’t need it, you can turn it off. We even have a remote thermostat option so you can control it from your favorite chair, or even your bed! You can even use the fan in the Hotpod during the summer months to give your cooling an added boost.

The Hotpod is available in many versions for the “D-I-Y comfortable” homeowner or from your favorite HVAC contractor. There’s nothing like it out there! We even offer larger units for light commercial applications!

There, have we got your interest? Go to www.hotpod1.com to see more information and to find out where to buy!

HISTORY OF TPI

TPI Corporation is a U.S. based manufacturer of electric heating equipment, industrial and commercial ventilation products, controls, thermostats, industrial and commercial lighting, and custom infrared process equipment systems.

Founded by Robert E. Henry, Sr. and his brother Ed Henry over 60 years ago in a garage, the company has grown to into a worldwide supplier of products and currently utilizes 550,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Johnson City, Tennessee as the core of its operations.

As such, the company has evolved over time through well planned acquisitions that have assisted in the expansion of the product line. Two key acquisitions include: 1) Fostoria Industries, which was acquired in 1972 and added infrared heating , industrial lighting, and custom process heat systems to the corporate portfolio. 2) Markel Products Company, which was acquired from Nutone Scovill in 1982 and subsequently added to the corporation a highly specified brand of electric heat in the commercial, industrial, and residential markets. Other acquisitions through the years have either added new products or updated existing product lines.

Today TPI Corporation manufactures products that vary from baseboard heaters to process heating equipment for world renowned manufacturing facilities. Additionally, and since the beginning of our ventilation division, we have become one of the largest suppliers of fan and ventilation products in the world. We also supply OEM parts for some of the largest global corporations.
