Feder’s Distributors Featured On “Best Buys” Television Show
I first met the family owners of Feder’s Distributors years ago when I was doing my consumer news reports on KCAL-TV Channel 9. They had a very good reputation back then for customer service and great prices and they still do today. And now, Feder’s Distributors has the newest air conditioning systems that can keep rooms cool, save energy, and improve home decor with the newest AC technology.
Now at the Feder’s Distributors location in North Hollywood is a large assortment of portable air conditioning units starting at only $250 and these are true air conditioning units and not “coolers.” The new technology now includes ductless mini split air conditioning systems which eliminate the eyesore problems that traditional wall and window units have. These ductless mini splits start at about $500 each and they are amazing quiet and compact and efficient and some of these units can also help clean your air. Feder’s also has the newest styles air conditioning units for sliding windows. Expert installation is available.
Feder’s Distributors is indeed a distributor to air conditioning companies and they supply apartment building owners and so they can buy in large quantities and sell to the public at discounted prices. They carry all major brands and there is a big selection of Energy Star Units and they can give you information about energy rebates where available.
Room units are ideal for room additions and for saving money so that you cool only the rooms you need instead of cooling the rest of an empty house or commercial area.

Now this is very important: there are other companies in the air conditioning business that use the name Feder’s but there is only one Feder’s Distributors at 5720 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood. It is on the east side of Lankershim between Burbank and Oxnard and be aware that other companies using the Feder’s name are located nearby.

Haier 1.8 CuFt 110V Washer Dryer Combo
Combo washer dryers are the perfect compact laundry solution for small spaces that requires no venting. Making it the perfect companion for small homes, multifamily apartments, condominiums, cabins, RVs and boats.

Some advantages of this unit:

Stay Cool — Cheap!
Staying cool this summer does not have to be expensive and you can “Go green” and help the environment while saving some cash!
Take for example Daewoo’s 5300 BTU window air conditioner, model DWC058RL. It’s perfect for a room about 125 square feet. It is Energy Star rated, which means the utility company will pay YOU up to $50 for purchasing this unit. Your end cost after rebate is only $99!
Need something bigger, but still want that rebate? Fedders has 12000 BTU, Energy star rated air conditioners available in 110v or 220v models. Price after utility company rebate is only $252! These are versatile units that can be installed in a window or wall with a remote control, slide-out chassis and of course that all important, money saving Energy Star rating. (models AZ7Y12F2A and AZ7Y12F7A)
And of course Feder’s Distributors has plenty of stock! Every year we anticipate the summer heat wave and stock our warehouse full to the rafters to help keep our clients cool. Get your air conditioner installed this season before the heat wave hits- unless you enjoy installing in 110 degree Southern California heat!
Remember, the Energy Star rebates offered by utility companies come from a limited fund. Once the fund is depleted, it is gone for good. Don’t miss your opportunity to have the utility companies pay you cash for once.

With Or Without Cash For Appliances, It’s STILL A Great Time To Buy Appliances!
If you’ve been in the market recently for any major product, you’ve realized prices haven’t dropped significantly in the past few years. I mean, there really aren’t too many great deals on cars or kitchen appliances. Right?
Well, not really. As I’m sure you know by now, there’s a cash incentive when you dispose of your environmentally unfriendly refrigerator that you’ve owned for 20 years. In fact, there’s a cash incentive when you dispose of your clothes washer and your room air conditioner as well. Up to $350.00 in incentives in fact.
But the problem is, you have to purchase a new one on their short list of acceptable models. Most are extremely expensive.
For example, if you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, take this Whirlpool model. As you can see, it’s #1 Rated Side-by-Side Refrigerator by a leading consumer magazine. 25.6 Cubic Feet, stainless steel and beautiful! It’s sale price is $1,799.00! So, if you do the math, you’d receive $200.00 back from the State of California for the Cash For Appliances Program and another $50.00 to $65.00 from your local utility company.
You’ll be saving the Earth and saving up to 75% of what your existing 20 year old refrigerator is guzzling.
I think the program is great. But not really for the rebates. I think it’s really a great program due to the buzz it’s been creating. I love it! And, we’ve been reaping the fruits of it. Although, I’m happy to sell a fridge for $1,799.00, and getting you your extra $265.00 back in rebates, I’d much prefer to sell you this refrigerator! Or this refrigerator!
Why spend $1,534.00, for a 25 cubic foot refrigerator, when you can get a very similar refrigerator for only $850 and some change? You may not get $200 back from the government or up to $65 back from your utility company, but you’d get about $950.00 in savings! And this refrigerator and this refrigerator is also an energy star model, so you’d still be saving the environment and yourself up to about 75% of the energy your existing refrigerator is currently guzzling!
I think it’s a no-brainer!
So if you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, clothes washer, room air conditioner, or really any other kitchen or home appliance, come on by, or visit us here. Now is the perfect time to buy even if not for the great cash incentives of the Cash For Appliance Program!
California Will Give You $50.00 For This!
Have an old washing machine like this one sitting around waiting to be picked up? Planning on purchasing a new one for your home?
The Cash for Appliances program begins on April 22, 2010 (Earth Day) in California and would be a great time for you to get it done!
As a Platinum Partner with the program, Feder’s Distributors will be happy to pick up your old washing machine when we deliver your new one, haul it away and recycle it for you at no extra charge! We’ll give you a receipt for proof of recycling, along with all the forms that need to be filled out so you can receive a $50 check from the state.
As you probably already know, California received $35.2 million to educate and give incentives to California consumers when they purchase brand-new energy star qualified washers, refrigerators, and room air conditioners.
If you plan to purchase any of these products, now would be the time to get a move on!
In addition to receiving $50.00 for your old washing machine, you can also earn $200.00 for your old refrigerator, and $50.00 for your old room air conditioner. But not only that, you can still qualify for any additional manufacturer rebates as well as any additional utility company rebates! Virtually making your new energy star qualified appliance close to free!
For example, when you turn in your old washing machine (like the one that’s more than 30 years old in the pictures above), and purchase a new one, you’ll receive a $50.00 check!
If you plan on purchasing a new energy star qualified refrigerator from Whirlpool, for example, you’ll not only receive $200.00 from the state just for turning your old refrigerator in, an additional $65.00 from your utility company (like DWP) and an additional $35.00 from DWP just for recycling your old refrigerator is also available. Also, if Whirlpool has additional rebates for purchasing said energy star model, you’ll be eligible to receive that as well!
If you turn in your old room air conditioner, not only will you receive the $50 from California for the Cash for Appliances program, but you could also receive an additional $50 from your local utility company!
The best part? You’ll be helping keep your environment cleaner an use a much small percentage of energy than your old washer, refrigerator, or air conditioner!
We hope to see you on April 22, because the funds may run out soon (as they did in two days for many of the states who implemented the program months ago!).
Please contact us if you have any questions about this or any other program!
Don’t Buy A New Washing Machine, Refrigerator, Or Air Conditioner!
Don’t buy a new washing machine, refrigerator, or air conditioner in California until April 22nd (Earth Day)!
If your washing machine, refrigerator, or air conditioner has bit the dust, or is about to, you should wait to purchase a new one on April 22, 2010 through May 23, 2010.
As we’ve discussed here, here, and here, and tweeted about here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, The US government has set aside $300,000,000 for a rebate program similar to the Cash For Clunkers program last year called Cash For Appliances.
Details for the program in California have been sketchy until yesterday. On its official website Cash4Appliances.org, it was announced that rebates will be available for Californians who purchase a washer, refrigerator, or air conditioner between April 22, 2010 (Earth Day) through May 23, 2010, and recycle their old one through a certified recycler. The rebate applicant must be a California residential consumer and must purchase an eligible appliance that meets the state’s efficiency requirements. The purchased appliance must replace an existing, working appliance.
Rebates are first-come, first-serve and will be processed as received until funds are depleted. Rebate applications must be postmarked by June 25, 2010.
Consumers who take advantage of this program can receive $200 back for a qualified refrigerator, $100 back for a qualified clothes washer, and $50 back for a qualified room air conditioner!
Customers will receive their rebates within four to six weeks if the rebate claim is complete. A complete claim contains the filled out and signed rebate claim form with appliance serial number, certificate of recycled appliance, a copy of utility bill (to verify California residential address), and a copy of the sales receipt.
Additionally, the California Cash For Appliances rebates can be combined with other manufacturer, retailer, or utility company rebates! Like these.
Feder’s Outlet has several qualifying models in stock for pennies on the dollar like this and this, and Feder’s Distributors has most of the qualifying room air conditioners in-stock all the time for already the best prices in the country!

Our Trip To The AHR Show In Orlando, Florida
The full flight didn’t allow for an upgrade, but we’ll take an on-time take-off and a tailwind that helped us arrive 1/2 hour earlier than expected any day. In fact, it seemed like our flight from LAX to ORL was the shortest 4 1/2 hour flight ever.
Unfortunately, getting to The Hard Rock Hotel seemed to take longer than the flight because of a gps system from Enterprise RAC that was working on about a 3 mile delay. But we made it to the room and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at The Palm in the lobby of the hotel.
Getting to the convention center on Monday morning from the hotel was uneventful and quick. Walking into the main hall reminded us of the last few shows, but it seemed like there was a good turnout of attendees and the convention center floor (approximately 354,000 square feet) was full of vendors. In fact, there were slated to be about 40,000 attendees and 1,800 exhibitors. About 200 of the vendors had not displayed before.
Many of the majors were there, LG, Gree, GE, Amana. And there were so many parts dealers, it was hard to decipher one from another.
I don’t know how so many vendors can sell copper piping, ducts, vents, covers, and other small parts. But they seemed to be busy. It also seemed like everyone and their mothers who manufacture air conditioners were also selling portables and ductless mini-splits. Again, reminding me of the last few AHR shows.
However, most were involved heavily in the R410A way of life than the older R22 of old. And the transition to it had been a large undertaking.
Missing from the show were a few major manufacturers like Trane and Fedders and the most impressive booths were Gree’s and LG’s.
Although a pretty standard setup, they were definitely showing a large variety of products. Gree seems to manufacture product for about 25% of the industry (including Soleus and Hitachi) and LG seems to change their acronym every year (from Lucky Goldstar, to Life’s Good, to their current Life’s Green) to keep with the times.
GE had a small booth displaying a re-vamped ductless system, but their pricing is still too high for the economy we’ve been in for the past couple of years. Amana had a small booth as well, but nothing on display to really write home about.
All in all, it didn’t seem like there where a whole lot of new products or innovations at this year’s AHR Expo. Although solar has been talked about a lot as of late, I still feel that we’re at least 3-5 years away from truly solar-powered products that are small enough, powerful enough, and cheap enough to replace our standard energy-eating air conditioning and heating products. In fact, one of the only solar products we saw, was a solar charging station pictured below.
There was some talk about the 7 companies with new innovations(Delphi, AIC Wireless, Danfoss, Daikan AC, Samsung, Muller Industries, AEC Design Group, and DuraSystems Barriers), but mostly they improved upon something as opposed to reinventing the wheel. It’s time our industry really had a breakthrough product that uses very little to no energy, or is so cheap to manufacture, it’d turn the ac business on it’s head.
Unfortunately, those innovations haven’t come to fruition yet.
One company that is slated to begin production on a DC solar-powered ductless mini-split unit later this year didn’t even take part in the show. We expected to at least see their booth and get more information about their truly unique product, but unfortunately, there was none to be had.
We were invited to a private party hosted by Airwell Fedders on Monday night where they were showing their latest wares, but unfortunately, we were underwhelmed. Yes, they had a builder model ac on display, another couple of wall units, an outdoor condenser and the usual portable unit, all complete with R410A.
But we weren’t blown away by anything we saw or Anything the reps discussed. And for a company crawling out of the black cloud of bankruptcy and under new ownership, they definitely missed their mark for 2010. At least, they should have shown their new CRAC System discussed here!
In the end, we realized we could have stayed home and just replayed the video of the past few years of AHR shows in our heads and wouldn’t have missed a thing.
Cash For Appliances Program Finally Getting Close To Reality
It looks like details are finally being ironed out in the new Cash-For-appliances program slated to begin a few months ago.
Yesterday, it was announced that New York state would begin their program in February, 2010 and several other states would follow suit during March and April. California’s program should begin in March,
Authorized by the U.S. Economic Stimulus Legislation earlier this year, states would receive monies from a $300 million package to turn in older appliances (namely clothes washers, dishwashers, central and air conditioners, refrigerators, and heat pumps).
Consumers can apply for up to $150 in rebates when they purchase energy star and other energy-efficient appliances.
Please contact Feder’s Distributors for more information about the program or energy star appliances and air conditioners!
