Simsbury apartment complex debuts heating system that generates electricity from lost heat
Simsbury Center Apartments at 969 Hopmeadow St. in Simsbury has been outfitted with a new heating system that also generates electricity. The SmartWatt Boiler, produced by Hartford-based Enviro Power Inc., converts heat that would be lost in traditional boilers into electricity. It contains a compact internal power plant. The building's owner, Freedom Property LLC, recently converted the historic Iron Horse Inn into 21 luxury one-bedroom and four studio apartments.
