Modine Wins 2024 Good Design Award for Residential Unit Heater

Modine has been honored with a Good Design Award for the Amp Dawg residential unit heater. Designer Jaek Pachniak, along with Modine’s engineering and manufacturing teams, were recognized in the category of building materials, confirming the Amp Dawg as a standard-setting solution for heating basements, workshops and garages.

Sponsored by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, in conjunction with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, Good Design is the oldest and most widely acclaimed program for recognizing design excellence. Since 1950, the awards have honored superlative work in fields such as manufacturing, graphic and industrial design.

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 has many notable design elements, ranging from its easy-installation features to its durable, 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.
