Johnson Controls Announces Fall Promotions for York®, Coleman® and Luxaire® Brands

Enhanced program gives dealers flexibility to choose from a combination of four incentives

Johnson Controls, the global leader in delivering products, services and solutions that increase energy efficiency in buildings, announces its 2010 fall promotions for the York, Coleman, and Luxaire brands. The enhanced program, which begins Sept. 1 and runs through Nov. 15, 2010, gives participating York, Coleman and Luxaire Liberties dealers flexibility to choose from a combination of four incentives:

  • Instant rebates on qualifying equipment
  • Attractive financing programs through GE Money
  • Extended warranties
  • Custom incentives


The 2010 fall promotion joins a tradition of successful promotions embraced by dealers and homeowners alike.

"Rebates, special financing and extended warranties have always been important components of our promotional programs," explained Steve Hoffins, York brand manager. "This expanded program offers our dealers a new and completely customizable incentive. Now they can choose to take all or a portion of the
equipment rebates and apply it to a rebate or giveaway that resonates in their particular market. Maybe it’s a new television, a mobile device or a weekend getaway - whatever a dealer thinks will help close the sale."

Equipment rebates apply to individual components (qualifying air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, air handlers, package units and indoor air quality units) as well as complete systems that include an air conditioner or heat pump, furnace, air handler and matching coil.

"Many of these products also qualify for federal tax credits available through Dec. 31, 2010, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," added Mary Mocarski, brand manager for Coleman HVAC and Luxaire. "And, depending on where homeowners live, their state or local governments may provide additional incentives, making it even more beneficial for consumers to purchase high-efficiency products."

For more information about the 2010 fall promotions, dealers should contact their local York, Coleman or Luxaire distributor.

Johnson Controls Introduces York® LX Series Gas Furnaces Compact 33-inch height makes installation easy in tight spaces

NORMAN, OKLA. - (August 20, 2009) - Johnson Controls (http://www.johnsoncontrols.com), the global multi-industrial leader in energy efficiency, introduces a new line of compact 33-inch furnaces - the York® LX Series of multi-position gas furnaces.

The new furnaces, which qualify for the federal tax credit program, provide heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) dealers with yet another option for selling to homeowners.


Designed for installation in tight spaces, including basements, closets, alcoves, attics, recreation rooms and garages, the units are also ideal for commercial applications. LX Series furnaces feature Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings as high as 96
percent (80 percent models are also available).

The series includes single-stage models that feature a five-speed, direct-drive, X13-style high-efficiency DC motor that increases SEER ratings in the cooling mode. Two-stage models feature a variable-speed electronically commutated motor (ECM) that circulates air for longer periods of time, equating to consistent temperatures and improved air filtering, resulting in cleaner, more comfortable air. Variable-speed models also include ClimaTrak technology, which provides homeowners with customizable airflow based on the region in which they live.


Like other units in the serie
s, these units employ an induced combustion, reliable hot surface ignition and a high heat transfer aluminized tubular heat exchanger. An insulated blower compartment and quiet inducer operation ensure low noise levels during furnace operation. Indoor air quality is assured thanks to external air filters, and a timed-on, adjustable-off blower on select models delivers maximum comfort to homeowners.

Installation is made easy thanks to the simple multi-position design, solid removable bottom panels that make conversion easy, no knockouts and a patent-pending, self-priming internal condensate trap. Contractors who service the units will appreciate ¼-turn knobs for easy door removal. Units also feature easy access to controls to connect power/control wiring, a fully supported blower assembly for improved access and blower removal, and high-level, self-diagnostics with fault code display.

End users can take advantage of a generous warranty program. 80% AFUE models include a 20-year warranty on the heat exchanger while condensing models include a lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger. When used in a commercial application, the heat exchanger warranty is 10 years on either model. In addition to the heat exchanger warranty, all models also include a 10-year limited parts warranty when the furnace is registered within 90 days of purchase. If registration does not occur in the specified time frame, the parts warranty defaults to five years.
