Haier HVAC Solutions specialise in comfort cooling, offering residential, commercial and applied air conditioning solutions - including control systems, chillers, air and water treatment systems; VRF, light commercial and residential air conditioning systems.

Haier HVAC Solutions European general manager Bob Cowlard said: “This agreement with Hawco is spearheading our return to the UK market. Hawco are a well-known and trusted distributor in the component, accessory and air conditioning fields. It’s great that they’ve recognised the value and technical excellence found in our ac products. I believe that this partnership will go from strength to strength over the years.

“With Brexit behind us, this is the right time for us to re-enter the UK market. We have the right products for the market and this will be the first of a number of announcements regarding our sales channels.”

Hawco sales director Phil Baker said: “As part of our plans to grow our air conditioning business we wanted to bring something new to the UK market. The more we learnt about Haier the more we liked.

“Outside the UK, Haier are a well-established brand with impressive growth in Spain, Germany, Italy and France, so we knew they had a winning formula. Great products, quality production, competitively priced – make them a perfect partner for us. But we also understand how important it is to fully support customers long-term, with the reassurance of a six-year warranty on all R32 single and multi-splits; and offer UK technical support and easy access to parts and spares.”

Sales will focus on the residential and commercial split ranges but full access to VRF and the air to water product ranges will also be available to Hawco. Recent results from Texcell testing showing how effective Haier’s UVC Generator can be in stopping the spread of Covid-19 airborne emissions adds an extra dimension to the agreement.  The UVC Generator is standard in the Pearl and Flexis wall-mounted ranges and will be introduced into the commercial splits later this year.
