IONz International, a manufacturer of IAQ solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential industries, announced that it is rebranding the company to Aerisa Inc. The company will continue to sell direct through its network of distributors to its primary markets.
Trane just announced it has a study in hand that shows its CleanEffects™ IAQ product can remove up to 99 percent of the Influenza A virus. This is helping to expand contractor opportunities still more at a time when consumer interest in protecting their indoor environments is higher than ever.
HVAC contractors are sometimes a little shy about selling IAQ products; they don’t want to overstep their knowledge or be perceived as scare mongers. It’s a different story, however, when a medical professional recommends that a patient take action to help clean the air in their home.
As the saying goes, timing is everything. IAQ technologies and performance levels that were previously seen more exclusively in health care and higher-security environments are starting to make their way into homes, just as consumers seem most interested in them. Moreover, consumers are starting to demand more sophistication and integrated designs.
The former bookkeeper for Niehoff/Dunco Heating and Cooling admitted to embezzling more than $265,000 on checks drawn on her employer’s bank account. Her boss, Wayne Duncan, almost went out of business because of the crime. He learned a valuable lesson from the painful experience.

I submit to you that women and men react very differently to identical situations. Women are frequently insulted by questions that don’t bother men a bit. And, herein lies a most critical lesson and a major difference in selling to women.
When the Price Chopper store in Malta, N.Y., set out to add 22,000 square feet of space, there was an added emphasis on environmental technology. Part of the process included a decision to utilize secondary coolant refrigeration technology.
There are several methods that can be used to recover refrigerant from a system. The most common is the vapor recovery method. A faster method of recovering refrigerant is to remove the refrigerant in its liquid form. One method of recovering liquid refrigerant is the “push-pull” method.
