Northvale, NJ (April 20, 2005) — AERCO International, Inc., has increased its customers’ equipment maintenance options with the opening of a brand-new Remanufacture Center at the company’s Northvale headquarters. The Center will offer remanufactured parts and components for its indirect- and gas-fired boilers and water heaters to extend the lifespan of high-efficiency AERCO equipment – some of which has been installed in the market for up to 55 years.

“Because the heat exchangers in AERCO boilers and water heaters have proved to have such a long lifespan, they often outlast some ancillary components,” said Fred W. Depuy, president of AERCO. “Over time, we’ve continued to improve the designs of these components to improve their life and performance profile. Rather than repair an older component, or buy a brand-new part at full price, our remanufacture program offers customers the best of both worlds – the latest engineering designs at less-than-full price.”

Since its inception in 1949, AERCO has made every effort to meet existing customers’ needs while continuing to advance efficiency technology. Following the introduction of a new C-More controller for its gas-fired equipment, the company entered into an agreement with ACME Controls to offer factory-authorized replacements for older model controllers. AERCO will also continue to offer straightforward return/repair services at its Northvale facility.

The Remanufacture Center is scheduled to begin formal operations in May 2005. Consult your local AERCO rep for a list of upgraded components available for its A+, B+, WaterWizard, E+, Doublewall, Steam Generator, KC1000 and Benchmark products.
