Established in Laval, Que. in 1972, Comairco is a family-owned business that services provinces from Saskatchewan east, as well as the states of New York and New Jersey. “We sell and service air compressors and related products, and that is what we’ve done ever since we’ve started,” Bill Lutz, senior technical representative for Comairco, says. Comairco mainly sells Sullair as it is the authorized Sullair distributor. The company provides the full line of Sullair rotor screw air compressors. Over the years, Comairco has added more makes and styles of air compressors and related products.

The AWA electronic package has been tested in environments of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit; is easy to start up; allows for quick and convenient access for maintenance; maximizes the efficiency of the electric air compressor outside; protects against extreme weather conditions; reduces noise; and features automated temperature control. The AWA has industrial-type thermal insulation, with oneinch foam soundproofing; neon lighting with shock protection; a NEMA 4x CSA/UL-certified electrical panel with integrated circuit breakers; an arched roof to prevent water accumulation; aluminum plumbing; forced air heater; lockable service doors; steel gutters; lifting lugs for transportation and manipulation; and self-contained fluid protection. The unit is CSA/CSA-US approved and is suitable for handling with a forklift. The unit doesn’t require concrete slab or additional site modifications. It features single-point electrical and pneumatic connections, and replaces diesel compressors at a lower cost. For more information, visit comairco.com or call 1 (800) 463-8780. 6
