Enercare Introduces Rental HVAC and Water Heater Offerings to Service Experts Centres in Canada

TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – February 13, 2017) – Enercare Inc. (TSX: ECI) and Enercare Solutions Inc. (collectively, "Enercare") today announced the completed rollout of rental HVAC products and rental water heaters at all 15 residential heating and air conditioning Service Experts locations in Canada.

"Initial reaction to the launch of rental HVAC and water heater offerings at our Canadian Service Experts locations has been very positive from both a consumer and employee perspective," said John Macdonald, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enercare. "We are very pleased to see an initial rental mix of approximately 20% in Ontario and 10% in Western Canada where the rental model is a new concept."

In addition to rolling out rental HVAC and water heater products at Service Experts locations in Canada, rental HVAC offerings are being piloted in two U.S. states, and Enercare expects to rollout in two additional states in the coming months. The U.S. rental program is similar to Enercare's existing Canadian rental program, except that due to U.S. regulations, the rental contracts in the United States will be for a definitive term, which in the piloted states is 10 years.

"The successful introduction of our recurring revenue rental model in Canada is part of our plan to integrate rentals throughout Service Experts residential heating and cooling operations over the next two years to create continued organic growth," said Macdonald.
