About Us

The ēcovaire unit is being distributed exclusively in North America by All Air Systems and Team Consulting.

“It fills an important energy and environmental gap that has been dominated by traditional electric systems,” says Tommis Young, CEO of Team Consulting. “Natural gas driven air conditioning has long been considered the Holy Grail for the industry. The unit incorporates a high-efficient natural gas-fired engine and compressors, in conjunction with state-of-the art electronic control systems, and variable refrigerant volume management systems which can support up to nineteen zones. It achieves outstanding operational efficiencies, reduces emissions and increases indoor comfort.”

Team Consulting is a research and development firm based out of Las Vegas, Nevada lead by Mr. Tommis E. Young. Specializing in technology taking advantage of the unique properties offered by natural gas, Team Consulting has become a leader in the development of advanced HVAC technology. Working with both government and nongovernment entities, they have been instrumental in the research, development, demonstration and commercialization of cutting edge heating and cooling products. Team has worked with and continues to collaborate with the U.S Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy, Southwest Gas Corporation, the Propane Education and Research Council, AISIN SEIKI Company and other recognized leaders in the energy field.

The ēcovaire unit is built upon existing technology produced in Japan by Aisin (pronounced EYE-zen), a Toyota Group Company, and has been available worldwide for more than 20 years with thousands of units in operation. It was developed as part of a national Japanese initiative launched in 1985 to address escalating electric demand. Aisin produced their first gas engine driven heat pump in 1987 and their market share has increased dramatically from 1990 to 2000 and continues to grow. The Aisin unit has undergone modifications to meet the performance and certification needs of the North American market and more than two years of testing and monitoring have been completed for the North American unit.

The unit contains a natural gas engine that utilizes scroll compressors combined with state of the art electronic controls and variable refrigerant volume management systems which allows up to 19 independent zones. The use of a refrigerant loop eliminates the need for space consuming duct soffits and allows for the placement of air handlers within each dedicated zone.

Unlike the electric heat pump that is either on or off, the ēcovaire unit’s control system precisely matches the engine output and energy requirements to any load condition significantly reducing energy consumption and component wear while delivering superior comfort. In the heating mode, the ēcovaire unit augments its performance by capturing engine waste which not only increases efficiency but also eliminates the “cold blowing air” commonly associated with electric heat pumps.
