Toronto-based manufacturer Riteway Technology says it has a cost-effective APU that delivers a quick payback. The Total Temperature Control (TTC) APU is available at a recommended price of $5,650, according to the company, which delivers a quicker payback than most other APUs. The company claims a payback can be realized in just 800 hours of use or four months, compared to a traditional APU payback of 24-36 months. The single-cylinder, direct-drive, air-cooled system consumes 0.12 gallons of fuel per hour, Riteway claims. For more information, visit www.ritewayapu.comor call Shane Perue at 416-637-5005.
