Northvale, NJ (July 9, 2003) — AERCO International, Inc., a leading supplier of commercial boilers and water heating products, releases HeatSmart II, a new version of its innovative CD-ROM guide to selecting the most efficient boiler and water heating products for any design. Featuring a sizing, selection, and energy comparison program, HeatSmart II allows consulting specifying engineers, architects, business owners, facility managers, and any other professional involved in building construction and maintenance to accurately determine water heating loads for many water heating applications.

HeatSmart II has been upgraded to be compatible with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. The sizing, selection, and energy comparison program automatically selects the most efficient boiler or water heater for the specific design, based upon the criteria inputted by the engineer. Each project can be saved with the criteria and complete description of the job, so that it can be used as a reference when a future project with similar water heating loads is begun.

Complementing the comparison program is a comprehensive product guide that lists all the specifications and features of AERCO’s indirect-fired and gas-fired products. HeatSmart II contains information on AERCO’s water heaters, steam heaters, and boilers, including the innovative Benchmark series and KC1000 family. The software was created by Level X in Piscataway, NJ.
