Dean was interviewed by Paul Selking of GE ECM by Regal-Beloit, which recently created a checklist to help contractors during the industry-wide transition to 13 SEER. Selking asked Dean how his company deals with the technical, business, and sales challenges presented by this higher-efficiency standard.
SELKING: On one level, the 13 SEER mandate is really just raising the baseline efficiency level of all new equipment. On the other hand, this change will make a major difference in product costs, new technology, and the way contractors run their businesses. What is your reaction to 13 SEER?
