I have been told (could be true, could be not) that Superior distributors
(around south Florida where I am, most everyone is an "installing
distributor") are bailing out due to Lennox's new plans for the line (no
more installing distributors), the latest price increase, and added costs
for half truckload deliveries; also that the Marco name is going to
disappear. Anyone in other parts of the world hearing or experiencing any
of this?
 
By the way, if Marco is disappearing, I need to get hold of a bunch of
terminations real quick...with our humid weather and salt air, they do not
last very long down here and are frequently in need of replacement, and I
hate it when I have to tell a customer he's out of luck because I cannot
get him a UL listed replacement part. The insulation company which sold =
and
installed them for years  in my area does not, of course, support =
customers
with parts.
 
Interested in getting some verification on all this.
