Become a Dealer

It is a win-win-win-win-win situation! If you sell or service conventional commercial refrigeration equipment or operate an energy service company (ESCO), you should consider becoming a Freeaire dealer. There are significant benefits to everyone involved:

  • Your customers will save money on their monthly electric bills, and save even more in the future as electric rates inevitably rise. They may save money on their installation through a generous rebate from their power company. There will be money saved on compressor system repairs and replacements. Their lower expenses will mean higher profits and increased competitiveness. Both the reliability of their refrigeration system and the air quality in their walk-in cooler should improve.
  • The power company, as a regulated utility, is guaranteed a good rate of return on its demand side management (DSM) program, so it does not mind selling fewer kilowatt-hours of its product. In fact, reducing demand for electricity reduces the need for expensive new generating capacity.
  • Society benefits because less demand for electricity means fewer new power plants in fewer people's back yards. And cheaper refrigeration encourages lower prices for foods and beverages.
  • The environment wins because less electricity produced means fewer emissions from fewer power plants, which reduces air pollution, acid rain, and global warming from CO2. Fewer hydroelectric dams results in less flooding of wilderness areas and fewer nuclear plants means less radioactive waste to be safely stored for centuries.
  • Finally, there are numerous benefits to YOU, the Freeaire dealer:
    1. Generous dealer discount allows good profitabilty.
    2. Good value for the price, even without utility rebates: payback periods range from 1 to 5 years.
    3. High quality of Freeaire products enhances your business by pleasing customers and you.
    4. Good fit with normal HVACR work (controllers, fans, filters, sheetmetal, etc.).
    5. Good timing fit with refrigeration/AC work: Freeaire systems with outside air work will increase in the fall as air-conditioning and conventional refrigeration work decreases.
    6. Most Basic Freeaire installations can be completed by one person in less than a day. Systems with outside air can usually be installed by three persons in a day.
    7. Simple, straightforward design of system is easy to learn; special purpose Cooler Controller is simpler to program and install than complicated, all-purpose energy-management controllers.
    8. Versatile design of outside air package allows many different installation possibilities.
    9. Multiple models of fans and controllers are unnecessary, reducing inventory requirements .
    10. Large untapped market of convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants, food and beverage warehouses in all climates. Rule of Thumb: one potential Freeaire for each 500 people in an area.
    11. Rebate from utilities makes buying decision a "no-brainer" for customer.
    12. Customers can easily understand and appreciate basic idea.
    13. Freeaire trademark is strong and memorable.
    14. Being first to enter a market with a well-developed, time-tested product gives Freeaire a natural market leadership over later competitors.
