Comfort Supply's Blog by Clay Blevins

To show our appreciation to our loyal customers, we are reintroducing the Tech Tool Club, a program that rewards customers for their in-store tool purchases.

1. Get your Tech Tool Club punch at any of Comfort Supply’s retail locations 
2. Present your card when purchasing tools and selected manufacturers in-store and receive one punch (Minimum $50 purchase required) 
3. Once you have 30 punches, cash in your card for $30 free credit towards your next tool purchase

Please join us in welcoming Josh Lee to the Comfort Supply team. Josh will work out of the Chattanooga location as territory manager.

He will oversee daily sales and will collaborate with branch managers to acquire new customers in Chattanooga and the surrounding counties.

"In the two months that I have been here, Comfort Supply has gone above and beyond other companies that I have been associated with," said Lee. "The staff is very driven and knowledgeable and they truly care about their clients. I am very lucky to be a part of the Comfort Supply family." 

Josh has been working in the HVAC industry for 14 years. Prior to joining Comfort Supply, he worked at Ed's Supply Company where he served as branch manager.

Josh comes to Comfort Supply with extensive HVAC experience and excellent customer relation skills. His enthusiasm and impressive sales background make him a key addition to the team.

A big thank you to all those who joined us May 17 in Nashville for the grand opening of our third PROSTOCK location. 

At the event, guests were invited to tour our recently renovated store, which now offers contractors superior stock consistency and access to a greater PROSTOCK offering. Customers also enjoyed 10 percent off all PROTECH parts.

We're constantly looking for ways to improve our offerings and inventory for our contractors and the PROSTOCK program does just that. If you weren't able to attend the grand opening, pay us a visit today and see for yourself.

Ruud's Protection Plus® Program

A Chance to Make Your Customer's Life a Little Easier

We understand the overwhelming feeling that follows the presentation of paperwork. Whether it's the unfamiliar jargon that fills the page, or the sheer mass of certain documents, "paperwork time" can easily become "second-guessing time."

To make this process easier for your customers, Ruud has recently implemented improvements to its Protection Plus® extended service program. The changes streamline consumers' choices and create a simple, easy to read and understand plan that outlines nine warranty options available for commercial and residential Ruud units. 

The recent changes to Ruud's Protection Plus® extended service plan —which distill 20-plus pages down to just a few pages—make it easier for customers to understand their warranty choices and decided what plan makes most sense for them.

We hope these changes will encourage more homeowners to take advantage of the great benefits that the Protection Plus® program has to offer. Your clients will benefit from Protection Plus® in many ways. 

• Not only will the new program allow your customer to extend their limited warranties on Ruud equipment for up to 10 years; the plan also covers 100% of the cost of parts and labor, alleviating them of stress over unexpected repairs.
• In addition, this program will give you an opportunity to build strong, long-lasting customer relationships since Protection Plus® requires annual maintenance on covered equipment.

Contractors interested in learning more about the changes to the Protection Plus® program, including tactics they can use to explain the program to their customers, should contact their Comfort Supply salesman or call their local Comfort Supply store. 

• “Not only are customers more likely to purchase the mini-split, but the installation is a breeze,” said Dennis Hargis of Hargis Heating and Air.
• David Trumbly from Petrie One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning conveyed similar sentiments, “Daikin is by far the easiest mini-split I have experience with.

Friday's open house in Nashville marked the end of our annual open house events this year and we can't thank our friends, customers and vendors enough for joining us. We hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did.

If you have any questions about the vendors you visited at any of our open houses, or anything else, we invite you to pay us a visit or give us a call, or visit our website at http://comfortsupplyhvac.com/. As always, we're here to help.
