Homegrown Manchester inventors pitch Stovalator energy fix
Manchester based Jim Kardas and Mark Breen, lifelong friends, evolved a coffee chat into a duo of problem solving inventors. They created the Stovalator to convert radiant fireplace heat into convective warm air, boosting efficiency and cutting heat loss. The unit requires no installation, comes in two sizes, priced at 298 and 329 dollars, and they aim to start production by mid June. Both men grew up in Manchester and have established careers, with Kardas a real estate broker and Breen a contracting entrepreneur.
