I have not given up on supporting your low-tier RES strategy. I know that the low cost units recently tested in India did not yield fav results, but I am willing to evaluate other options. Some additional combinations can be considered and I’d like your thoughts on the following ‘potential’ positioning strategy by capacity…..
R22 Fixed Speed:
13k btu EER 2.83 India MEPS= 1 star
18k btu EER 3.19 India MEPS= 3 star
24k btu EER 3.05 India MEPS= 2 star
Can you position and market the above at the lower end if pricing is attractive? I believe 18k is the sweet-spot for you and its at 3 star…..perhaps you could work the other 2 in a creative manner.
If yes…..then please send me your acceptable factory TP range for each capacity based on what you could possibly target at various volume levels. Be balanced as we’ll have to bend backwards on this initiative and expedite resources. This may yet be workable if we align well.
I am told your R22 import/sales window will close in 2015 so perhaps we can be aggressive until then. I am told the above noted units would not require separate testing in India.
Appreciate a quick reply.
