Budget-Conscious and Energy Minded Customers Across New York and New Jersey Now Have Universal Supply Group, Inc. and The RAL Supply Group, Inc. as a New Source for the Acadia: Combined Heating and Cooling System

July 15, 2009

HAWTHORNE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colonial Commercial Corp. ("Colonial") (OTC Bulletin Board: "CCOM," "CCOMP"), today announced a new distribution partnership, through its Universal Supply Group, Inc. and The RAL Supply Group, Inc. subsidiaries, with Hallowell International. As the price of oil gets ever-more volatile, budget-conscious and energy-minded consumers in southern New York and throughout New Jersey now have easier access to the Acadia: Combined Heating and Cooling System from Hallowell International. The Acadia is a revolutionary new green technology used for residential heating and cooling. It provides a significant cost savings to the consumer by outperforming conventional fossil fuel-based heating systems, such as oil furnaces, by up to 300 percent. How does it work? The Acadia is a single system engineered to comfortably heat and cool homes in all weather conditions, even temperatures as cold as minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. When traditional heat pumps are put in colder climates such as the Northeast, a back-up heat source is usually required; this uses additional energy, resulting in a higher energy bill for the homeowner. The Acadia, through patented boosted compression technology, operates much more efficiently than a traditional heat pump, and also eliminates the need for a supplemental heat source. "The Acadia system is a perfect complement to our expanded offerings of high-efficiency, energy-saving heating and air conditioning equipment. Our customers are demanding more affordable alternatives to oil and gas and the Acadia delivers," said William Pagano, CEO of Colonial.
