PHOENIX — ECM Technologies has formed a strategic partnership with Tolin Mechanical, a commercial HVAC service company in Arizona. The collaboration will combine Tolin’s expertise in preventive and predictive maintenance services and energy sustainability in commercial HVAC with ECM’s nanotechnology, ThermaClear, a press release from ECM said.
“At Tolin, we pride ourselves on offering the most innovative preventative maintenance and service solutions, and ThermaClear’s cutting-edge technology will allow us to provide our clients a level of equipment protection no other commercial HVAC company in Arizona will be able to do,” said Tolin Mechanical Arizona business president Bryant Kuvakos. “Our exclusive partnership with ECM Technologies allows us to introduce the ThermaClear Advantage Plus program that will enhance our service offerings and provide our clients with superior system performance and longevity.”
“We could not be happier with our strategic partnership with Tolin. We recognize the value of working with only well-known, highly respected and established commercial HVAC service companies. After years of working with most of the top companies in Arizona, Tolin clearly stood out from everyone else,” said ECM Technologies chief revenue officer David Fenton.
ThermaClear addresses the pervasive issue of oil fouling that affects HVAC equipment. According to ASHRAE, oil fouling of heat-transfer surfaces in HVAC systems results in 7% efficiency loss in the first year, followed by 5% in the second year and 2% annually thereafter.
ThermaClear conquers oil fouling by clearing the coil system from the inside, removing the oil barrier and super-lubricating the compressor. In the process, it also bonds to the interior of the coil walls, forming a permanent barrier against future buildup and protecting against thermal degradation.
In addition to only requiring a single treatment of ThermaClear for the entire lifespan of the HVAC system, building owners/facility managers can expect a payback on their treatment investment in approximately 12 to 18 months.
The first ThermaClear treatment under the new partnership was performed in April of this year and was donated by both companies to all Boys & Girls Clubs in the Phoenix area.
