Alps Controls Expands Offerings With Copeland Products

Alps Controls, an online marketplace that sells HVAC controls and building automation parts, has struck a deal to carry products from Copeland, a compressor and controls maker. The new lineup includes thermostats, electronic temperature controllers, thermostat accessories, and protective enclosures for thermostats and control panels.

This is a business-to-business supply deal aimed at contractors, system integrators, and facility managers who buy parts through the Alps marketplace, which already carries products from more than 180 manufacturers. It doesn't change what's available to homeowners directly, but it's worth knowing about if you're curious where the smart thermostat or temperature control parts in your own system come from. Copeland is a well-known name in HVAC components, so if a contractor ever mentions installing or repairing a Copeland thermostat or control panel in your home, this is the kind of supply arrangement that makes that part more readily available.

There's no rebate, price change, or program tied to this news, and no direct step for homeowners to take. It's simply a sign of how parts move through the supply chain that eventually reaches your furnace, heat pump, or thermostat.
