Climate Masters

ClimateMaster Design
From concept to product, ClimateMaster’s Integrated Product Development Team brings a fusion of knowledge and creativity that is unmatched in the industry today. Drawing from every aspect of our business: Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Manufacturing, our Development Team has created some of the most advanced, efficient, and versatile products available, especially in regards to geothermal heating and cooling.

Innovation, Concept, Needs
Great products are born from necessity. Whether it is a need to reduce sound, fit in a smaller space, make easier to service, achieve better efficiencies, or due to changing technologies, or new government regulations, ClimateMaster leads the industry in advancing the form, fit and function of water-source and geothermal heat pumps. Our design team continually strives for even the slightest improvement to our products. It is this continual drive for excellence that sets ClimateMaster apart from all other geothermal energy product manufacturers.

Start To Finish
At ClimateMaster, every product development project begins with a comprehensive set of specifications. These specifications are a culmination of input from the market, a specific need, or a number of other factors. From these detailed specifications, prototypes are constructed and testing begins. After a rigorous testing period in ClimateMaster’s own state-of-the-art lab facility, the data is compared to the project specifications. Once the design team is satisfied that all of the specs are met, the unit is sent to the Production Department for pilot runs. After the pilot runs are completed, unit literature is finalized and the product is released to the marketplace.

ClimateMaster Production
Innovative products demand innovative manufacturing processes. ClimateMaster’s integrated production process combines every aspect of the manufacturing of our equipment into an organized, balanced, and controlled whole.

Fabrication
Every sheet-metal component of a ClimateMaster unit is produced in our fabrication department. Panels are precisely constructed of galvanized or stainless steel using computerized cutting, punching, and forming equipment. This precise fabrication means a tighter fit that makes for a more solid unit and reduced vibration, which equals reduced noise. On certain series, a polyester powder coating is then applied to increase corrosion resistance and enhance the look of the unit. The final step is the addition of fiberglass insulation to the inside as an additional layer of sound deadening. This insulation meets stringent NFPA regulations, and includes antibacterial material.

Assembly
ClimateMaster’s 610,000 square foot facilities use the most stringent quality control standards in the industry. Each unit is assembled under the close supervision of our Integrated Process Control System or Procix. This multi-million dollar computer system watches each unit as it comes down the assembly line. In addition, our quality department is stationed on each line and performs random audits not only on the units, but also on component parts. All component parts must pass each and every quality checkpoint before a unit is packaged and shipped. These systems and processes are maximized due to the comprehensive and ongoing training every employee receives from the date they are hired.

Component Parts
To produce a quality unit, you have to start with quality components. ClimateMaster’s Purchasing Department is relentless in its search for the best components for our products - while securing these components at prices that keep costs low. Any new component must go through a grueling testing phase before it ever sees the production line. Working closely with vendors and their engineers, we continually find new ways to not only improve our units, but to ensure component quality as well. Sister companies like KOAX, who produce our coaxial heat exchangers, allow ClimateMaster to provide components specifically designed for our applications
