Every year, The NEWS introduces the latest cooling equipment available for the upcoming summer season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them distinguish between brands and products.
Like last year, this year’s Cooling Showcase is split into two parts — commercial and residential. The commercial information will be published in the May 4 issue, while this issue focuses on the residential/light commercial side of the air conditioning industry. The coverage features specific information about each individual product, as submitted by the manufacturers.
The product grid includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. The photo feature, which begins below, provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and also includes technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the descriptions below.
