QUEENS, NY -- Midea, a developer of HVAC technology, has opened its first national showroom and distribution center in Queens.

The facility will be home to heat pump solutions designed with the future in mind to help users meet the stringent demands of increasing energy efficiency and sustainability requirements.

The innovative space will make heat pumps more accessible for consumers and professionals alike, demonstrating Midea's commitment to equitably integrating advanced heat pump technology into homes across North America.

Midea held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of its first U.S. showroom and distribution center in Queens Saturday, Feb. 24. The innovative space will demonstrate Midea's commitment to advanced heat pump technology.

Among the notable products on display is a new cold climate heat pump, a standout participant in the Department of Energy (DOE) Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge that achieved 118% of rated capacity heating output at -15 degrees Fahrenheit.

The showroom also features the Midea Packaged Window Heat Pump (PWHP) – winner of the 2024 AHR Innovation Award and component of New York State's Clean Heat for All Challenge – as well as the new EVOX G3 ducted heat pump system.

The showroom will serve as a center for contractor training programs, equipping industry professionals with the necessary expertise for installation and maintenance, while also offering personalized consultation and services for customers in the New York Metropolitan area to ensure they find the most effective heating and cooling solutions that are tailored to their specific needs.

Many of the products, including the energy-efficient heat pumps and systems, offer consumers the opportunity to take advantage of federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as well as local utilities heat pump rebates that align with efficiency tiers established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE).

Midea is no stranger to providing the New York market with energy-efficient heat pumps, highlighted by its involvement in the "Clean Heat for All Challenge." Spearheaded by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), New York Power Authority (NYPA) and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the "Clean Heat for All Challenge" aligns with New York City and State mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings by the year 2030.

Midea was designated as a primary partner to develop and deliver 20,000 cold climate packaged window heat pump units that can better serve the heating and cooling needs of existing multifamily buildings and help expedite the transition away from fossil fuels.

The Midea showroom, operated in tandem with Ai-Midea Air Conditioning, is located at 158-15 Union Turnpike, Fresh Meadows, NY 11366.
