Your Chicago Airwell-Fedders Dealer

Airwell-Fedders is the preeminent environmentally friendly HVAC manufacturer in the western hemisphere

AIRWELL GROUP

Founded in 1947 by Paul Wallet with its head office and production site near Paris, Airwell, then called L'Air Conditionné Entreprise (ACE), was the first company to design and produce air conditioning units in Europe. Its first cooling systems were designed to cool down industrial processes rather than people. Only three years later, however, ACE started to produce direct expansion air conditioners for residential and light commercial applications which were especially designed for the severe climate conditions in the French African colonies and Middle East countries.

Since then, the Airwell product range has been known for its high reliability, efficiency and quality standards and the company hasn't stopped growing. In contrary to its competitors, Airwell has always focused on air conditioning products, which is certainly one of the reasons for the company's world wide success.

The first air conditioning units manufactured under the Airwell brand in 1950 were window type units. Today, the company's product portfolio is known to be one of the widest in the market including all types of air conditioning equipment covering residential, commercial and industrial applications: mobile and window type units from 4 to 7 kW, terminal fan coil units up to 80 kW in case of direct expansion systems and up to 135 kW in case of water cooled systems, air cooled condensing units up to 150 kW, air cooled and water cooled water chillers up to respectively 1646 kW and 1000 kW as well as water source heat pumps, roof tops and air handling units. Including altogether more than 600 models, the Airwell product range meets the demands of private households, large residential, commercial and industrial applications as well as of niche markets such as propeller fan chilled water units.

Besides Airwell, the most important brands of the Airwell Group are Electra, Fedders and Wesper. Products sold under the Airwell brand covering the complete range of residential and commercial applications in different markets. The products sold under Wesper brand name are mainly commercial products, while Electra products are mainly residential ones. Airwell Group recently acquired the Fedders brand which is used to fulfil customers product needs in the US residential and unitary markets.
