New Products

ecobeco is proud to announce the addition of Aquabarrel Rain Barrels.  Thes e items capture rain water that can be used to water your lawn and garden, thereby reducing your municipal water use.  Rain Barrels can be installed in about an hour by our professional Handyman partner.  Due to their size, Aquabarrels are only available in the store for $299.

ecobeco also added Multi-Pure water purifiers.  Multi-Pure is Reuven's brand of choice and its Carbon Block technology purifies a wide variety of contaminants.  Multi-pure provides superior filtration performance compared to Brita or Pur technologies. From a cost perspective, these systems are a no-brainer compared to bottled water.  We carry countertop models starting at $224.95 and under-the-sink models starting at $399.95.  These come with a 1 year filter.  Don't forget to purchase our Earthlust or SIGG reusable water bottles to transport your filtered water!

Leaky chimney flues?  It's one of the leading causes of air leakage.  Even when your fireplace flue is shut, there is often still air leaking through.  We now carry Batticdoor Chimney Draft Stoppers.  At $59.99, these devices are a great value that provide a tight seal to keep your conditioned air out of your chimney flue.  They are also easy to assemble and disassemble so you can remove them easily when you want to use the fireplace, and replace it when you're done.
