Eco Pacific Pty Ltd
Climate control technology is being used worldwide to create a comfortable indoor environment.   Until recently, this was considered a luxury but now it is fast becoming the need of everyone across the globe.   In order to maintain comfortable indoor living, and given the frequent prevailing extreme weather conditions, there has been an increase in energy consumption.  This consequently requires an increase in energy production.  Both these factors of consumption and production of conventional energy directly contribute to Environmental emissions.  The more we use, the more we pollute; barring renewable energy which is still expensive and not completely reliable.

This increase in consumption is driving us to not only find more energy sources, but also more efficient applications of these sources.  Fortunately, many companies are dedicated to designing innovative energy efficient products and appliances to help minimise energy consumption.  The use of energy efficient appliances not only makes our energy resources last longer but also reduces the carbon emissions that pollute our air.  Eco Pacific is one such Australian company engaged in research, design, development, and manufacturing of energy efficient eco-friendly gas ducted heaters, evaporative air-conditioners, and fresh air heat recovery ventilators.  The sales, installation, commissioning, and servicing is done by its group company- Mech Air Services Pty.Ltd.  Eco Pacific has been awarded innovation grants by AusIndustry in the last two years to develop and commercialise new technologies.

Dr Jai and Rachana Kaudinya are looking forward to hosting you at their Eco Pacific site.
