Thermal Industries' engineering and quality assurance never stop. Engineers use computer-assisted design (CAD) techniques to pre-check each product design before manufacturing begins. During production, they pull random samples of each product from the lines and quality-check them for compliance and performance in Thermal's certified test chamber. The finished products are protection-wrapped for shipment to one of 18 Regional Design and Support Centers. After installation, the quality control continues with field technicians visiting over 1,000 homes each year to inspect products in accordance with standardized procedures. The performance data, collected by these technicians, is then fed back to the Quality Management Center. This full cycle of quality commitment and monitoring allows all products to be fully warranted and is your guarantee of satisfaction.
