Parts Town adds HVAC spares

USA: Parts Town, the Illinois-bases supplier of foodservice equipment parts, has expanded its business into the HVAC industry.

Founded in 1987 as a restaurant equipment parts distributor, Parts Town will now be offering a range of parts and accessories from top manufacturers including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, and Heatcraft. 

“With many of our customers servicing both commercial foodservice equipment and HVAC equipment, this category expansion allows us to meet the needs of our customers,” said Parts Town’s integrated marketing manager of HVAC Julie Eppley. “This one-stop shop also further eliminates the need for customers to visit multiple websites to find the parts and related products they need.”
