Nov. 22, 2004: New Technology To Cut Refrigerant Emissions, Save Energy
TULSA, Okla. - Oklahoma contractor Eddie Woods announced that a new patent-pending technology aimed at reducing refrigerant emissions and lowering energy consumption in cooling systems, called Quality and Efficiency Assurance (QEA), will be displayed at the 2005 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo), Feb. 7-9, in Orlando, Fla. According to Woods, "QEA is a device that will change the way air conditioners are currently installed. With this device we can expect to see a drastic reduction in refrigerant emissions, as well as lowered energy consumption."
Woods became a mechanical contractor in Oklahoma at the age of 24 and started his own air conditioning company, Meeko Heating & Air. Years later, after developing his new technology, he formed Meeko2004 to bring his innovation to the HVAC industry.
