We specialize in hot water heating for residential, commercial and industrial applications. We
also sell air conditioning for residential and commercial applications. We are very involved with
the use of alternative piping called "Pex" for heating, plumbing, snowmelting and
preinsulated underground piping for energy transfer. We sell outdoor reset controls to save
energy and make equipment run "smarter". We sell circulating pumps for hot water systems that
are 80% more efficient than any other standard circulator being used today! We sell the
most efficient, most innovative boilers available today from the world's largest boiler
company! We sell alternative energy products like solar heating that can help reduce your
energy costs and help you leave a cleaner environment for future generations. We've been
doing this for 44 years and hope we can bring that experience to you for your next project!
Education
Education is the key to success as our industry moves forward with more energy efficient
equipment. Classes are available to the contractor to complete your understanding of how the
equipment is properly applied and installed, as well as giving you the edge on explaining it to
your customers so they know they have hired the best! Schools are offered throughout the year
at local or regional venues as well as at manufacturing facilities. Visiting a manufacturing facility
for school can be exciting and give you a whole new perspective on why the manufacturer makes
it's products and applies them the way they do. If you have that kind of opportunity, we strongly
urge you to take it. See our Training page for current schools being offered to installing
contractors and where they will held. This listing will change frequently so remember to come
back and take a look.

Wilo
Wilo, (pronounced Veelow) Wilo, a German based company with U.S. Headquarters in Chicago,
Ill. manufactures circulating pumps for the HVAC and groundwater industry. A privately held firm,
Wilo manufactures some of the most innovative equipment our industry has ever seen. Wilo has
a major focus on sustainable energy and energy conservation and brings those ideas to us with
their training seminars located in Chicago, J.R. Baker Associates or at your site as schedules
permit. The Stratos and Stratos Eco ECM constant pressure differential circulating pumps are
simply the biggest thing to impact our business since the advent of the wall mounted mod-con
boiler. Upon entering some simple parameters, these circulators react to system conditions
automatically as a stand alone device making them 80% more efficient than any other fixed
speed pump on the market today. As fuel costs spiral out of control and energy
efficiency is a primary concern for all consumers, this is a must see seminar you do not
want to miss for you, and your customers. This seminar will change the way you think
about zoning hot water systems forever. Expect to see more innovative products from Wilo,
clearly the leader in the industry. To schedule a seminar for your company, please contact J.R.
Baker Associates at your earliest convenience.
