For the 75th Good Design Awards, the jury of subject-matter experts reviewed more than 1,100 product designs from 55 different countries—bestowing accolades on only a select handful of works demonstrating mastery.

“The Amp Dawg is brilliant for the way it heats garages, enclosed patios and other smaller spaces, all while maintaining a quiet and efficient operation,” said Elizabeth Casebolt, marketing manager of Modine’s Heating division. “We’re proud to have this unit recognized not merely for its functionality, but for the cleverness of its design, which allows it to accommodate the heating needs of many different spaces and applications.”

The Amp Dawg has many notable design elements, ranging from its easy-installation features to its commercial-grade components—including sheathed steel heating elements. Its heating output equals that of an HD30-45 gas-fired unit, yet it operates in a way that’s consistently smooth and unobtrusive.

“Good Design recognizes the level of artistry, engineering and craft that go into a truly exceptional consumer product,” said Richard Boothman, director of North American sales for Modine. “Technically as well as functionally, the Amp Dawg is a testament to the sophistication of the Modine product line.”
