We run on an approx. 3-5 business (M-F) days for a parts, 5-6 business (M-F) days for equipment warehouse turn. (See Below) If your item is something that is needed immediately you must communicate your desire to us, so that we can attempt to accommodate your needs. Orders for expedited shipping can only be handled Monday through Friday and must be received by Noon Eastern Time and will be shipped within 24 hours those orders will incur an expedition fee on top of actual shipping charges. For any order that is confirmed and then cancelled we will charge a 20% restock fee at time of refund.
Due to the nature of our business, it is impossible for us to pre determine your exact shipping charges on most items. Our facility uses different sized boxes, different packing material, not to mention freight companies fuel surcharge fees change weekly etc. Several shipping agencies now base their rate on dimension weight versus actual weight whichever is greater. Thus the size of the box comes into play on each and every transaction. We ask for your understanding on this process.
Therefore, what will happen is we will input an order which will be sent to our warehouse to pack (if you have ordered more than one item we will do our best to combine shipping to insure maximum benefit). It will then go to our shipping dept where they will contact an appropriate shipping agent to get your final charges. Please allow 3-5 business (M-F) days for a parts, 5-6 business (M-F) days for equipment days for this process. Once your shipping charge has been calculated you will either be contacted and asked for payment or if we have your credit card on file then you will be billed for the total amount. Any questions or concerns please contact us.

Some HVAC manufacturers may offer a warranty on their equipment from date of original installation, it is your responsibility to fill out warranty card and mail in.

We are selling excess and liquidated items those manufacturer warranties are At The Sole Discretion of Manufacturer.

We firmly believe in the excellence of our products, and we have therefore decided to stand behind them with our own money to offer you complete peace of mind.
