BRADENTON, FL—Cortez Heating & Air has recently become a Distech Controls Authorized System Integrator, the company announced today.

Distech Controls, a global company headquartered in Quebec, Canada, manufactures open and scalable building automation products that promote energy efficiency and environmentally responsive building design. Their technology enables customers to optimize their energy management strategies and reduce the lifecycle cost of building automation systems.

Distech’s open-protocol, non-proprietary systems offer a unique alternative to traditional legacy systems with both cost-effective solutions and upgrade abilities.

“We’re very excited to be partnering with Distech,” said Steven L. Dobbins, Vice President of Sales at Cortez Heating & Air. “Their robust smart-building technology sets the standard for the industry, and our customers will certainly appreciate the gains in energy efficiency and cost control that Distech and Cortez will help them achieve.”

The agreement includes systems training for Cortez technicians, demonstration equipment, and competitive discount pricing, which can then be passed along to customers.
