As the grand prize winner of American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning’s annual Stars & Stripes dealer incentive program, John Brindley of Tyler Weathermakers won a trip to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Fla.

The 2008 Stars & Stripes program recognized top-selling dealers nationwide based on sales in five categories – AccuLink™ Communicating Systems; Freedom® 95 furnaces; Triumph®/Allegiance®/Heritage®/Heritage Hybrid™ 16 packaged products; AccuClean™; and Allegiance®/Heritage® 16-18 IHE Comfort Systems. Brindley, who was the number one seller in the Triumph®/Allegiance®/Heritage®/Heritage Hybrid™ 16 packaged product category, was entered into a drawing along with the top three sellers in each category. He was selected at random as grand prize winner on December 16, 2008.

“I’ve been very popular around the office since the announcement was made that I won two tickets to the Super Bowl,” said Brindley.

In addition to two tickets to the big game, Brindley’s prize package includes round-trip airfare and transfers to-and-from Tampa, a four-night stay at Tampa’s Hilton Carillon Park hotel, a pre-game Super Bowl party for two and an American Standard AccuLink™ system for his home.

“The Stars & Stripes program recognizes outstanding individual sales achievement,” said Brian Scallan, brand director of American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning. “John combined his vast knowledge of the industry with exemplary service to achieve top sales of our all-in-one home comfort systems. We are thrilled to reward his hard work and dedication to American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning.”

Based in Tyler, Texas, Tyler Weathermakers is one of the area’s leading commercial and residential heating and cooling dealers. The independent dealer works in conjunction with ACES AC Supply, an authorized American Standard distributor with seven locations throughout Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

“ACES AC Supply and our territory manager, Billy Johnson, bend over backwards for us, and I’ve had excellent experience with American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning equipment,” said Brindley. “Business is so much easier when you work with a distributor you can trust and use quality products.”

Brindley joined Tyler Weathermakers close to five years ago after running his own heating and cooling company in Dallas. He and his wife Sandra (who will accompany her husband to the game) reside in New York, Texas, and have five children.
