A Distinguished Past. A Confident Future.

The YORK® commitment to building quality home comfort products began over 140 years ago. A manufacturing company founded in 1874 in YORK, Pennsylvania, started making ice machines to replace the shipping of ice from the Great Lakes. The “YORK” company soon extended their expertise in refrigeration to other areas:

⦁ In 1914, YORK® installed a revolutionary “air washing” comfort system in the Empire Theater in Montgomery, Alabama. This was a precursor to what became known as air conditioning.

⦁ In 1924, YORK® equipment was used to create the world’s first air conditioned office building in Fresno, California.

⦁ Today, YORK® products are heating and cooling some of the world’s most famous structures, including the Empire State Building, the English Chunnel, U.S. Capitol Building and the Sydney Opera House.

Dedicated YORK® Contractors have also installed YORK® products in millions of homes throughout North America. Their training in proper installation and service ensure unsurpassed comfort and energy savings that lasts.

Goodman has become one of the largest manufacturers of residential and light commercial air conditioning, heating, and indoor air quality products and systems by focusing on just one thing—building the most reliable and refreshingly affordable indoor comfort products in the market.

The complete line of Goodman^® brand products are built on the principles of founder Harold Goodman, a former air conditioning contractor.

Harold’s goal was to manufacture air conditioning and heating equipment that:

• Provides industry leading product warranties
• Offers greater reliability and longer-lasting performance than competing products
• Is designed for quick, trouble-free installations
• Makes reliable cooling and heating as affordable as possible.

Building our products to Harold’s standards, and protecting those products with some of the best limited warranties in the industry, has helped to make the Goodman brand widely recognized as a leading brand in the residential and light commercial heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry today.

Goodman produces a complete line of residential and light commercial air conditioning and heating equipment at its modern, high-technology factories in Houston, Texas; Dayton, Tennessee; and Fayetteville, Tennessee.

Goodman’s residential and commercial HVAC equipment is sold through a world-wide network of distributors and independent installers  like East Tennessee HVAC and Plumbing who are dedicated to uphold the company’s high quality standards.

East Tennessee HVAC & Plumbing suggest the Uponor brand PEX.  An Uponor plumbing system features Engel-method crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing. This is a flexible plastic tubing product that has been used for more than 35 years in radiant floor heating, plumbing and fire safety systems.  An Uponor PEX plumbing system is a clean, healthy, quiet and reliable alternative to other systems, such as copper. Our innovative system is also corrosion and freeze resistant providing you with peace of mind.

PEX is classified into three categories:

• PEX-a (Engel or peroxide method)

• PEX-b (Silane method)

• PEX-c (Electron beam or radiation method)

The PEX tubing industry considers Engel-method PEX-a tubing superior because the crosslinking is done during the manufacturing process when polyethylene is in its amorphic state (above the crystalline melting point). Because of this, the degree of crosslinking reaches around 85%, resulting in a more uniform product with no weak links in the molecular chain.

The properties in PEX-a tubing make it the most flexible PEX on the market, allowing for the tightest bend radius available — as little as 3½” for ½” tubing. Its flexibility also greatly reduces the instance of kinked tubing. However, because of the thermal memory of PEX-a, if a kink does occur, a simple shot from a heat gun returns the tubing to its original shape.

 Key Benefits

East Tennessee HVAC & Plumbing is a proud installer of Hero FabriDuct™.  In locations where we can use  FabriDuct™, we can cut the costs associated with metal ducting by as much as 80%, while providing our customers with many choices such as color, shape, and installation method.   (The fabric can even be printed)

History of Fabric Air Ducting

Fabric air ducting has been in use since 1948. In 1963 Fabric air tubing was developed for heating and ventilating in the greenhouse industry with only one diameter of tubing available. Holes were punched manually with a rubber mallet. Since then, the tubing has been diversified considerably in size, shape, and application.  Not only is it still used in greenhouses, but is now used for a wide range of manufacturing and industry applications, as well as commercial, retail, office and school environments.

Hero FabriDuct™ products are Polyester fabric supply air diffusion systems, operating under positive pressure. The diffusion occurs through any combination of permeable and non-permeable fabrics, and /or strategically designed linear slots.  Hero Fabriduct™ systems are available in round, “D” shape, or quarter-round duct configuration. These systems are designed to provide uniform air distribution in commercial, industrial, public warehouse environments and homes. When tested in accordance with ASTM E-84, these Polyester fabrics have a flame spread index of less than 25, and a smoke developed index of less than 50.  Hero FabriDuct™ fabric products are limited to use in systems with a maximum positive design pressure equivalent to 3.1 inches of water column, a maximum operating velocity of 2,000 feet per minute, and a temperature range of 0° F to 250°F (-18°C to 121° C).
