GE ECM by Regal Beloit Awarded First Place in 2006 ACHR News Dealer Design Awards
(Fort Wayne, IN): GE ECM by Regal Beloit will be recognized for excellence in product design in the third annual Dealer Design Awards Program sponsored by The Air Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration News magazine. An independent panel of 45 contractors acted as judges in the contest that had 112 entries from 75 manufacturers. The company’s X13 motor was the first place gold award winner in the Components and Accessories category. The ACHR News is one of the leading trade magazines in the heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration industries.
News Publisher John Conrad stated, "This product design competition gives us the opportunity to recognize the outstanding product designs and innovations that make a dealers job easier and faster. It also enables our readers to identify new product opportunities."
The X13 is up to 200% more efficient than a PSC motor, which it is designed to replace in OEM applications. The new motor combines Regal-Beloit’s field-proven, highly efficient, brushless-DC ECM technology with controls and features that are similar to that of the PSC motor, creating a product that is easy for contractors to install and service while providing energy savings for the consumer.
“We are honored to receive the ACHR News Dealer Design Award, and feel that it reflects our continual effort to help the HVAC industry meet requirements for ever-increasing energy efficiency,” said Paul Selking, Industry Leader for Residential ECM Products. “The X13 gives dealers the easy-to-service HVAC system they want with the energy-saving solution their customers need.”
Winning entries in the Dealer Design Awards will be featured in the July 17, 2006 issue of The News, which is distributed nationally to over 32,000 HVACR contractors, wholesalers, and other industry professionals.
