    I've developed a new casing for a single family home heating system.

    Clean and smooth surfaces (easy to keep clean), an operation panel with knobs large enought for thick fingers (!), a display you can read without cursing because you've forgot your glasses. The panel is mounted on an arm and can be turned 360 degrees, and tilted from -30 to + 30 degrees.

    Just wanted to add a high tech look to the dull, dumb and finger cracking designs that exist on the market...

    Jens, you are right about the existing models. Very blocky and androgenous, not having changed since they were invented. In comparison your image is even more beautiful than before.

    I hope I don't "blow" my house. Just want it warm when it gets cold outside. And if the source of the heat can look good doing it; then all the better

    no need to apologise. It's my fault because I don't have the correct terms for these products: I've spent most of the time in the south and southeast, and when I was in MN and Quebec I stayed in cheap hotels where they heated the rooms with room heaters/aircon combiniation systems. So I never had a chance to point to that object and ask: how do you call this? ;-}

    In Texas I had a small furnace in my house, but that's something different...

    liquid propane? It'll be converted to gas before it hits the burner, or do you intend to blow your home? ;-} Just joking!

    Well, they sell heating systems for gas - look at the attached beauties!

    Hahahaha, could be a fridge, a tool cabinet - anything. The same old ugly stuff for decades.

    I like it Jens!

    Is this a sealed oil heater?

    Is Wolf a brand name already in existence or is it one you made up for the render/design

    Hi Jens,

    Very nice look. If you sell the design to a manufacturer, let me know if they can make a model that burns liquid propane.

    yes, this is the brand - or better saying the existing company name. http://www.wolf-heiztechnik.de/

    Most of their designs are - well, I think it's better I don't comment it...
