Feb. 7, 2006: ARI Launches New Directory of Certified Product Performance
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) has launched a new online tool enabling contractors to access important information on certified product performance of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
Known as the ARI Directory of Certified Product Performance (ARI Directory), the new tool (www.ari.org/aridirectory) will allow contractors, distributors, engineers, architects, and specifiers to quickly access the information they need to, for example, properly match outdoor condensing units and indoor coils, enabling the system to achieve the advertised levels of efficiency. In addition, the new ARI directory will allow a contractor to print out a certificate stating that the installed system is properly matched, thereby protecting the consumer's warranty and enabling them to qualify for utility rebates that are offered in some areas.
