Rheem Mfg. Co., Heating and Cooling Division, announced its 2007 spring contractor sales promotions, which offer business-building choices and the chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip for two to a 2007 NASCAR “Chase for the Cup” NASCAR championship race. (Rheem is the major associate sponsor of Richard Childress Racing’s No. 29 car competing in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and driven by 2006 Busch Series Champion Kevin Harvick.)

Additionally, Rheem will continue to offer attractive KwikComfort™ financing and its recently enhanced Protection Plus® extended warranty coverage as an additional incentive to homeowners. The promotion begins on April 15 and runs through July 15.

Contractors who finance sales through KwikComfort Financing and purchase Protection Plus extended service agreements will receive RheemRacing rewards based on the premium and sales level they reach. The sale of five transactions through KwikComfort or the purchase of five Protection Plus extended service plans will result in a Level One premium, and 20 sales equals a Level Two premium. Contractors who reach the Level Three premium, with at least 40 sales, will receive an officially licensed NASCAR 1:24 scale limited edition No. 29 die-cast collectible autographed by 2007 Daytona 500 Champion, Kevin Harvick. Contractors will be awarded one entry into the Aug. 1, 2007, “Chase for the Cup” all-expenses paid weekend Grand Prize drawing for every five KwikComfort contracts funded or Protection Plus agreements purchased.

To apply for KwikComfort membership or for more information, contractors should contact GE Merchant Services® at 800/ 330-5189. For more information on these or any other promotion, please contact a local Rheem or Ruud Distributor or visit either www.rheemote.net or www.rheemkwikcomfort.com.
