Feb. 14, 2014: Friedrich, ThinkEco Partner to Bring Customers to Demand Response
Friedrich Room Air Conditioners Will Be Demand Response Ready through the SmartAC Platform
NEW YORK — Air conditioner manufacturer Friedrich and ThinkEco have announced a partnership to enable utilities to cost effectively bring new customers into demand response programs.
Beginning in summer 2014, utilities will be able to use ThinkEco’s turnkey demand response (DR) services to incorporate connected Friedrich Kühl room air conditioners directly into DR programs. Customers will simply use their FriedrichLink WiFi kit to opt into available programs, thereby allowing them to receive incentives and rebates, and help their local utility provide better electricity services.
