September 1, 2010: Soler & Palau announced today the phasing out of the Breidert and JennCo fan lines.  With the acquisition of these two fan lines over five years ago and the recent acquisition of Renewaire LLC (read May 4, 2010 news) by S&P, it became clear that promotion of multiple brand names in the HVAC business was becoming counterproductive.  These companies will now fall under the Soler & Palau USA brand and will help integrate future acquisition into one company and speed the access to market of these products.  A new marketing campaign will begin shortly and we will bring all of our customers and engineers up to date with literature and more information as it becomes available.

August 25, 2010:  In accordance with the new EISA Motor Efficiency standards that will go into effect December 19,2010 (under the Energy Independence and Securities Act), most motor manufacturers have stopped producing the EPAct Motors and have begun upgrading their production lines to the new NEMA Premium motors.  What will this mean?  In the short term EPAct Motors will continue to be available but as the 12/19/2010 date approaches they will become harder and harder to find.  All fan manufacturers will begin changing over to the premium motors on 12/19/10, yet EPAct Motors that are in stock will still be available until they run out.  What will this mean in the bid and spec. market?  Well first and foremost, we will be educating our customers and engineers about this pending change.  Secondly, any project that will be shipping prior to 12/19 we will be using the EPAct Motors, if after 12/19 the project will be quoted using the new NEMA Premium motor.

MAY 4, 2010: With Soler & Palau's acquisition of Renewaire LLC; C&H2 Incorporated will now have access to Renewaire's full line of Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) equipment for both Commercial and Residential Applications.  We will have more to follow, however here is part of the news release....
