Totaline Announces New ‘Free Stuff’ Program for 2008

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Jan. 4, 2008 – It’s winter! And, HVAC/R contractors and technicians have two words on their minds: furnace calls. To help make these calls easier, Totaline stores now offer two generic igniters that fit almost every brand of furnace.

“When a contractor is at a customer’s home in the middle of winter and the furnace’s igniter needs to be replaced, it needs to be replaced quickly,” said Jay Seitz, Totaline motors and heating aftermarket supplies product manager. “By carrying two different Totaline generic igniters on their service trucks, technicians are prepared to replace almost any igniter on any brand of furnace immediately.”

Seitz added, “For repair jobs where the factory warranty isn’t an issue, our generic igniters, which are all tested for reliability, are an affordable option. “

And, beginning Jan. 1, contractors and technicians can receive a free multi-screwdriver by purchasing two Totaline generic igniters. To receive the free multi-screwdriver visit www.totaline.com, click on the Free Stuff link and complete the quick quiz. Print off a certificate with instructions and make the required Totaline purchase. Free Stuff items are shipped directly to contractors’ and technicians’ homes or offices. Contractors and technicians are encouraged to act fast before supplies run out.

For media use: High resolution photos of the igniters and free multi screwdriver are available at www.totaline.com/pressphotos.
