SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Air-conditioning company Mojave Energy Systems has added nine sales partners across 17 U.S. states, more than doubling the size of its partner program. These firms will exclusively represent Mojave for customers in defined geographic regions.

“Our innovative commercial air conditioner has very quickly generated interest from manufacturing businesses, health-care facilities, educational institutions, and more,” said Phil Farese, Mojave’s CEO, in a press release. “We are thrilled that ArctiDry now has top-tier representation across the South, Mid-Atlantic, New England, and Midwest regions. We are now able to help even more customers achieve significant improvement in efficiency with an affordable, reliable, turnkey, and climate-friendly solution.”

Mojave’s ArctiDry desiccant technology saves customers money while reducing the environmental impact of a/c by halving electricity use and deploying a low-GWP refrigerant to significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions, the press release said. ArctiDry can drop into existing HVAC infrastructure, requires minimal maintenance, and helps customers achieve net-zero GHG emissions compliance, the company said.
