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 – commercial and residential. Commercial equipment information will be published in the May 18th issue, while this issue will focus on residential/light commercial cooling systems. The coverage features specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.

Included on this page is the product grid, which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. Select a photo below for more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit, and also technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the photo feature section.
