June 24, 2009

Wood Dale, IL, June 24, 2009 – SANYO Commercial Solutions (SANYO), a division of SANYO North America Corporation, announced today that the SANYO 12KS71, split ductless air conditioner model with a SEER of 17, was rated the most energy efficient split ductless model in a July 2009 Consumer Report comparison against units written about from the same category from competitors. In response to the ranking, President Noboru Nakanishi stated, “SANYO HVAC exceeds industry standards because we are more than a manufacturer. We are a solutions provider and do everything we can to make products that are environmentally conscious and will save you money on cooling costs.”

The SANYO Single Zone and Flexi-Multi Split Ductless Series are a smart choice for residential and professional cooling and heat pump applications seeking cost savings from long term energy savings, quiet operation and exceptional cooling capabilities. The Flexi-Multi Systems, with 232 combinations of indoor and outdoor units, are the most offered by any manufacturer. No application is too unique, big or small. If the job has unusual building requirements, a project analysis can be performed by SANYO specialists to find the right unit for the application.
