Hi ,

Cold weather is around the corner, but winter prep doesn't have to break the bank. ECPA has what you need to get your district ready for winter. From bulk rate de-icing supplies to helpful facility maintenance strategies that protect your operational budget, we're here to save districts time and money.

New Cooperative Salt Contracts

ECPA has established new cooperative contracts giving Indiana school districts immediate access to bulk-rate pricing on road salt and water softener salt. Full vendor details, order minimums, and lead times are listed in the table below.

Upcoming HVAC Webinar with Filterbuy

Beyond winter de-icing, join us for an upcoming webinar with Filterbuy to learn how establishing optimal filter replacement schedules can prevent system strain, freeze-up risks, and emergency heating calls during cold spells.

Sincerely,

Your ECPA Team
