You can be assured of adequate air condition-ing even on the most hot, humid summer days, with much quicker cool-down when boarding a hot coach. Our auxiliary units function as a totally independent back-up system in case of main system failure; this feature alone can be worth the investment many times over on charter and tour operations.

Welch auxiliary A/C units operate indepen-dently of main coach air; with separate condenser, compressor and lines. Hoses, fittings, connecting wires etc. are custom made to fit. Complete instructions are furnished with kits, the average technician can install in about one day without difficulty. Telephone support is available if you have questions.

650 Red Oak Rd., Stockbridge, GA. 30281 770-474-1150

Units priced $2600. to $2850. depending on make and model of coach, plus shipping. Installed prices are from $3950. to $4450.

2 Day Installation is Normal. Call for Appointment.

A Comfortable Ride Sells Easy, Let Us Help With a Cool Bus!

THIS YEAR has been good for us - we have installed auxiliary units in coaches as late as 2010 Van Hools, several others in the 2000’s. Which of your coaches could use more cooling? With age etc. some coaches just don’t cool like they did and many places you go, you can’t run your coach while loading, this extra cooling makes a big difference when you are ready to go... Our unit cools down very quick, with free-blow air conditioning power at the flip of a switch!

Call For An Appointment-Let Us Install a Welch Auxiliary AC Unit in your favorite motor coach. Your customers will simply love it!
