The ACHR NEWS is featuring the industry’s latest commercial cooling products. The manufacturers provided The ACHR NEWS with the brief description of features included with each product. For more information, please contact the manufacturers or their distributors.
It’s time once again for the annual Cooling Showcase. The ACHR NEWS’ annual issue has traditionally introduced the latest cooling units 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 to distinguish between brands.
Like last year, this year’s Cooling Showcase is split into two parts — commercial and residential. This issue focuses on the commercial side of the air conditioning industry, while the April 20 issue highlighted new offerings in the residential cooling market. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.
