The Index of Sources is a resource that provides instant insight into where-to-buy, who-sells-what, and who-makes-it, for the HVAC and related professional trades.

Companies are cross-referenced to more than 2,200 categories of heating, air conditioning, ventilating, refrigeration, controls, industrial piping, plumbing, sheet metal, related products, and services. Manufactures are cross-referenced to local representatives and distributors. Information about companies, which have merged, changed their name, or gone out of business, is also provided.

The Index of Sources is not an Internet search engine. A company need not have a web site to be included in the Index of Sources. Many reps and distributors, and some manufacturers, do not have web sites. Their absents from the web does not diminish their importance to the industry. Whether you’re specifying equipment, estimating a job, or need parts for twenty-year-old equipment, the Index of Sources is your source for time saving sourcing information. The next time you need to find a local source, don’t search through dozens of directories, or waste your time searching the web or calling-around, just logon to the online Index of Sources.

The Index of Sources is available in two formats, the online edition and a print edition. The print edition has grown from a small 70 page booklet in 1978 to more than 1,200 pages. The online edition expands on the information available in the print edition by providing manufacturer’s phone and fax numbers, and links to companies’ web sites. In addition to the expanded information, the online edition also benefits from continuous updating as the relationships between manufacturers and their reps and wholesalers are ever changing.

Any company involved in the manufacturing of products for the trade may be included in the Index of Sources, free of charge. Reps and distributers selling to the Western United States market, are also included free of charge. By its very nature, the Index of Sources is an ever-changing, work-in-progress.
