Posted 2/20/2009 by
FORT WORTH (February 24, 2009) – Genteq™, a division of Regal Beloit, has launched GenteqComfort.com, devoted to educating homeowners about home comfort options and familiarizing them with the Genteq brand.

“Homeowners often just live with draftiness or other comfort issues in their homes, without realizing all the options available to address home comfort,” says Paul Selking, HVAC industry leader at Regal Beloit. “Our goal is to educate homeowners about the most recent innovations in home heating and cooling, and what that can mean for home comfort.”

GenteqComfort.com defines and explains the terminology and infrastructure of which every homeowner should be aware, including variable-speed blower motors, ductwork, HEPA filters, energy recovery ventilators and zone controls/thermostats.  In so doing, consumers learn about HVAC options and can troubleshoot common issues in their homes:

  • Hot and cold spots throughout the house
  • Draftiness
  • Dry air and static electricity
  • Air quality/allergens
  • High utility bills

The highly interactive new web site engages and educates homeowners with quizzes and calculators that guide them through issues critical to home ownership:
