Canton inventor Robert
Cuppetilli has received a patent for a secondary heating system he says will
sharply <span style="color:#000000"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/wysiwyg#">reduce
energy consumption</a></span></span>, slash customer bills and create thousands of jobs for
companies that install it.
“This is like a gold
mine with no end in the <span style="color:#000000"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/wysiwyg#">bank</a></span></span>,”
Cuppetilli, 72, said, sitting in a Canton home where he already has installed
the new system.
A consultant and former
demolition business owner, Cuppetilli has enlisted partners and formed Sunrise
Mechanical Inc., in hopes of marketing what he calls an industry-changing
creation that has prototypes for natural gas, propane, fuel oil and <span style="color:#000000"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/wysiwyg#">electric</a></span></span>
heating systems.
He also has a separate
patent pending for a secondary cooling system he says will dramatically curb <span style="color:#000000"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/wysiwyg#">energy</a></span></span>
usage and reduce consumer bills.
Cuppetilli has compared
his energy usage and customer bills with those of friends and neighbors who
don't have the secondary <span style="color:#000000"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/wysiwyg#">heating
system</a></span></span>, and he has kept charts to show the results.
Last December, a
Plymouth woman who has a home similar in size to Cuppetilli's 5,875-square-foot
house had a utility bill of $631 compared to his $192, even though she kept her
temperature setting at 62 degrees compared to his 71 degrees.
Cuppetilli has compared
several homes with similar results. Joe Barone, a business partner and attorney,
has been impressed by the results.
“The numbers are there,
and they're quite phenomenal,” he said. “I think he's got something here.”
Cuppetilli estimates
his invention can reduce heating costs by 67 percent or more. He hopes to secure
bids from companies for the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute the
secondary heating system.
Essentially, the
heating system operates in supplemental mode to carry water from a water heater
to the heat exchanger within an air passage in the furnace. Air within the air
passage passes through the heat exchanger and is heated from the water. Then,
the water returns to the water tank.
Meanwhile, a
supplemental thermostat connected to the system controls an air circulator for
the furnace without requiring the furnace to be activated. The furnace will turn
on and heat the air only if the supplemental mode isn't sufficient to maintain
the desired temperature.

Cuppetilli also uses
coils and soapstone, which retains heat for 48 hours, for the system that
gravity-feeds heat through his house without requiring much work from the
furnace. A thermostat for the secondary heating system is set higher than the
one for the furnace.
“What controls this
whole thing is the thermostat,” Cuppetilli said, adding later, “The only thing I
really use off the furnace is the blower. I figure I'm saving about 67 percent
on my heating bill.”
It sounds complicated,
and it is. Cuppetilli concedes he has spent hours explaining his invention to
industry insiders. Yet, he seems confident it works — and Barone and others say
he has the statistics to show it.
If he gets his
invention marketed, Cuppetilli said the system could be installed without
affecting a furnace's warranty.
Cuppetilli has sought
bids from 29 furnace companies, and he would get royalties. He said utility
companies, which stand to lose revenue, “don't want to see this.”
Even so, he said his
invention could create thousands of jobs in an economy that sorely needs them.
Moreover, he said he will dictate that all parts used for installation are made
in America.
“I want to keep the
work here,” he said.
