ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) launched a new online tool enabling contractors and the general public to access certified product performance information about 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 consumers, contractors, distributors, engineers, architects, and specifiers to access the information needed, for example, to 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.
