What do you like best about working for Jackson Systems?
Jackson Systems’ business model of carrying most products in stock. After spending years in Industrial distribution it is great knowing that we ship most products the same day. I know our clients appreciate it, and it cuts down on the ever occurring phone call of “Can I check on the status of my order to see when it will ship”. Now the phone calls we get are, I know you shipped my order yesterday when I placed it, could I get the UPS tracking number?
Which is your favorite Jackson System’s product and why?
The Z-600
It is a very versatile control board. The Z-600 can handle single heat/single cool, multi-stage, and heat pumps. The 12 dip switches on the board enable the installer to set the board up to be application specific.

I really enjoy the VAV diffuser offered by Jackson Systems. It allows people to obtain individual comfort in their place of employment. The VAV diffuser accomplishes this by itself as a stand-alone device or paired with a Z-2000 control panel and can even control the HVAC equipment. There are literally hundreds of thousands of locations where this product could be used. We spend so much time at work these days, it is nice to know we can provide comfort for so many people during their time there.
