"During Comfortech 2002, the GE ECM™ by Regal-Beloit booth was the best booth at the show, meaning I left your booth with the most valuable material. I took a sample of each of your pieces of literature. These publications, in particular "Decorating with Comfort" are a great sales tool.
I know the power of the GE ECM™ by Regal-Beloit variable speed motor. I have a house that would be very difficult to zone. So when replacing my antiquated heat pump system, I installed a variable speed air handler. Wow, it is amazing the improvement in the airflow upstairs. I am a believer."

"As a progressive Plumbing, Heating and Cooling contractor in Winnipeg Manitoba, we focus on the quality driven customer, rather than a company who sells its services based on price. Over the course of the past 16 months, I have had a close ratio of 55%, and approximately 2/3 of the furnaces I sell are variable speed furnaces. We have performed 137 furnace retrofits, with 98 of those being ECM furnaces. I find that customers react very well to the GE ECM™ by Regal-Beloit marketing and training materials, rather than having me just tell them what they need."

"Variable-speed systems are essential to the growth of our residential business because they deliver the biggest profits and greatest customer satisfaction for our dealer.That’s why we’ve made a significant investment in sales training for these systems."

"One side of our house is largely glass so we experience a lot of solar gain. Consequently the upper level was always quite a bit warmer than the lower level. When we had our new two-stage, variable-speed furnace installed, they recommended we run the fan continuously to circulate the air. After one summer, we could tell a big difference.
The upstairs was cooler and the unit was so quiet we couldn't even hear it. On top of that, my contractor showed me that the motor only uses 75 watts when it's on constant fan."

"Our cathedral ceilings made it difficult to keep the temperature even throughout the house. It always seemed too hot in one room or too cold in another. Now our two-stage, variable-speed furnace holds the temperature rock steady in every room.
We also needed a furnace that was extremely quiet because the unit sits right outside my recording studio in the basement. When we first installed it, I was skeptical about the claims the dealer made. But when it ran, I couldn't hear it at all and, more importantly, the microphone didn't pick it up either. "

"Being a transplant to Florida from up north, my experience with whole house air conditioning was limited to my workplace… To my delight, my home here is even more comfortable than my previous residence up north! As a matter of fact, I had to change my temperature setting to 78° as 76° was too cold."
