Most of the HVAC equipment in use is out of the warranty period provided by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer’s warranty is still in effect, there are several ways to solve the warranty issue. Solid Start has effectively eliminated the risk factor by combining a corporate guarantee with product liability insurance with a AM Best A++ rated insurance company, the highest rating given. The customer is named as “Additional Insured” on the insurance certificate. We have replaced the manufacturer’s short term interim protection with long term protection for the life of the system against damages directly attributable to the A/C or refrigeration equipment by Cold-Plus. Please ask your Cold-Plus representative for details.

Cold-Plus typically provides a ROI one year or less compared to other green technologies that have extended periods for a ROI. This also means that there will be a substantial multiple on the initial investment over the life of the system.

The cost of Cold-Plus varies depending on the application. In some cases Cold-Plus is used to save money on energy cost, and sometimes to provide increased comfort. In commercial applications we typically look for a ROI of less than one year, plus the added benefit of equipment life extension. Treating a personal vehicle usually costs less than what a fuel fill-up would cost, including the service.

Cold-Plus offers energy savings in refrigeration and A/C for virtually all types of equipment, and also accomplishes the following:
• Extends equipment life.
• Improves nucleation and removes oil fouling, providing improved efficiency.
• Protects seals and bearings.
• Increases the lubricity of all internal parts.
• Lowers maintenance cost.
• Provides greater sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint.

Cold Plus is effective for the “system life.” Following oil fouling’s removal, submicron polymer particles fuse into the metal surface of all interior metal parts of the system. The new finish is inert and remains pristine and free of oil fouling for the life of the system. Also, inert suspended polymers act as nuclei to enhance pool boiling for the life of the system.

Yes, Cold-Plus has been tested by one of the preeminent HVAC laboratories in existence, Edison Testing Lab/Intertek, and also by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Two separate tests were performed:

1: Cold-Plus underwent a compatibility test, which tested and proved that Cold-Plus does “no harm” to any of the parts of the HVAC system, whether they be compressor parts, copper tubes or in the air handler side.

2: New unit tested with Cold-Plus in a test cell using a modified ANSI/AHRI STANDARD 210/240-2008 test protocol.

Results showed positive reactions in the Cold-Plus treated compressor.*

*Cold-Plus can take 1-3 weeks to fully integrate into the system.

Although there have been many attempts over the years to engineer energy effective additives, only recently has the true “Two-Stage” formulation of Cold-Plus been developed, successfully tested and made available to the commercial HVAC engineering trade. Having extensive geographical/climatic opportunities, initial beta tests were conducted in the warmer latitudes of the South/Southeastern US. Cold-Plus proves to be safe and effective through laboratory compatibility testing.
