DesignStar^®: A Great Addition to Any Business

Last year’s introduction of the Rheem DesignStar Program, the exclusive online tool for Contractor’s that is designed to show consumers the value of high-efficiency products, continues to be a success well into 2009. DesignStar has been helping Distributors and their Contractor customers to increase sales opportunities, by assisting homeowners in the selection and purchase of an efficient heating and cooling system specific to their surroundings.  

DesignStar is a state-of-the-art program that assists Rheem Contractors in the specification of customized HVAC systems for homeowners. The program has been very successful in the acceleration of the sales process for Contractors by providing an instant analysis of the overall efficiency of a homeowner’s HVAC system components. This analysis results in a repair versus replacement recommendation accompanied by a selection of heating and cooling solutions to meet the homeowner’s comfort priorities, energy-efficiency desires and budget requirements.

Help your Contractor customers to take full advantage of the current tax incentives and the Rheem CashBack^® Program by selling more high-efficiency products with the help of the DesignStar Program. DesignStar enables Contractors to show the potential return on investment when these incentives are considered and may provide the additional push to help close the sale on higher-priced products.

For information on how Distributors can fully utilize the DesignStar Program, contact your Rheem sales representative.
