Abstract
A climate control apparatus is disclosed. The climate control apparatus of the present invention switches between types of heat depending on the ambient temperature of an outdoor space. The climate control apparatus includes an exterior housing, an electric heating coil, a steam heating coil, a temperature sensor, a controller, and a heating switch to heat an indoor space more efficiently than existing climate control apparatuses.
Claims14
A climate control apparatus comprising:
- an exterior housing having a plurality of walls, with an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- an electric heating coil;
- a steam heating coil;
- a temperature sensor configured to detect an ambient temperature of an outdoor space;
- a controller in electronic communication with the electric heating coil, the steam heating coil, and the temperature sensor;
- and
- a heating switch in electronic communication with the controller and having an active position and an inactive position,
- wherein when the temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature of the outdoor space is above a threshold temperature, the controller is configured to a) activate the electric heating coil when the heating switch is in the active position, and b) activate the steam heating coil when the heating switch is in the active position and when the temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature of the outdoor space is below a threshold temperature.
