PHOENIX — ECM Technologies has entered into a partnership with Singapore-based AC Wise, an energy savings company, to distribute ThermaClear, an HVAC anti-thermal degradation technology, to the Asian market.
As the demand for energy-efficient and sustainable technology grows, ThermaClear's entry into the international market holds the promise of optimizing operations, reducing environmental impact, and improving overall operational cost-effectiveness for both the commercial and residential sectors, a press release from ECM said.
ThermaClear has been proven to restore lost HVAC efficiency, improve IAQ, and reduce energy consumption, resulting in more sustainable environments, the company said. The treatment offers a typical payback period that ranges from 12 to 36 months and results in operational savings of up to 20% annually. Only one treatment is needed for the life of the HVAC system, and each treatment is backed by a full warranty for the remaining useful life of the equipment.
AC Wise works with businesses to develop energy-conservation measures to assist in reaching sustainability goals that extend beyond regulatory compliance.
In Asia, an unprecedented surge in demand for air conditioning is underway. According to a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), electricity consumption in Southeast Asia is projected to double by 2040, with air conditioning systems emerging as contributors to both overall and peak electricity demand.
Through the partnership, AC Wise will be the exclusive distributor of ThermaClear in the Asia-Pacific region, harnessing its distribution network and industry knowledge to serve key markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Maldives, and Thailand, with substantial growth opportunities in regions like Indonesia and India.
"We are thrilled to join forces with ECM Technologies to bring ThermaClear to the Asian-Pacific market,” Thomason Chan, the vice president of growth at AC Wise, said in the press release. “After seeing the proven results of this incredible technology in the United States, we knew the benefits would be incredible in markets that use air conditioning year-round, such as ours. This partnership represents a pivotal step towards fortifying our commitment to ushering in a greener future for businesses and eventually homeowners across Asia."
"ECM Technologies is excited to embark on this transformative partnership with AC Wise," said David Fenton, chief revenue officer at ECM. "We have seen great results with every ThermaClear installation, and this partnership will extend our reach into one of the fastest-growing HVAC markets in the world. With AC Wise, we are poised to redefine the landscape of environmentally conscious operations throughout Asia. Together, we can assist businesses in seamlessly enhancing their air conditioning systems, lowering their carbon footprint and experiencing remarkable cost savings."
The initial ThermaClear shipment into the Asian market will treat over 20,000 tons of air conditioning.
Last year, ECM was awarded a $2.1 million contract (later increased to $2.5 million) with the city of Phoenix to treat up to 12 million square feet of air-conditioned space. Through that contract, ECM executed its solution at facilities throughout the city, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
