Every year, The NEWS introduces the latest cooling equipment available for the upcoming summer season in order to help contractors distinguish between brands.
Like last year, this year’s Cooling Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial.
The commercial information will be published in the May 6 issue, while this issue focuses on the residential/light commercial side of the air conditioning industry. The coverage features specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.
The product grid, starting on Page 8, includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity.
The photo feature, which also begins on Page 8, provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and includes technical support information from the manufacturer.
The manufacturers provided all the data included in the product grid as well as in the photo feature. Any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the photo feature section.
