"My negative attitude about the Heat Pump caused me to develop controls that turned that attitude around.  They will do the same for you."

The Story Behind ...

The Heat Pump Made Easy

Bill made the first 500 units of the BPC-1 Dual Fuel Controller board and local dealers wanted more. After the distributors in the area got word, they wanted to be included and began to add his control to their stock, from there his business has grown across the United States and Canada. Bill's controls are still made in the U.S.A

Bill Porter doesn't like to toot his own horn; other people do it for him. When a dealer calls in for technical support, they are surprised that they get to talk to the person that developed the product. Recently while visiting a distributor in Birmingham, Alabama the distributor took him around and introduced Bill to his entire staff and even had a picture made with him. Bill has become quite a celebrity to many people and finds the HVAC industry full of very thoughtful and gracious people. Most of his new accounts are generated by word of mouth as everyone likes the simplicity of the installation and service, as well as person behind the products.

Bill also manufacturers an outdoor thermostat, the BPC-ODS Micro'Stat, made especially for head pumps that works in conjunction with the BPC-1 Dual Fuel Control.

Bill refers to his business as a small personal manufacturing company. As he calls on major HVAC manufacturing companies they are very complimentary to his product line and soon thereafter their knockoffs appear in the marketplace. Many of these manufacturers still stock his products because they are in high demand by their distributors and dealers.

The BPC-1 Dual Fuel Control and the BPC-ODS Micro'Stat have been very well received since the early nineties. Distributors, dealers, homebuilders, and utility companies frequently ask about other products and Bill is continually striving to produce other products for the HVAC industry, the main goal being easy and simple for the homeowner, installer, and service technician.

Bill resides with his wife, Berney, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Bill can be contacted at 405-771-3323 (Yes, he actually does answer the phone himself).

Once upon a time the the heat pump was such as hated thing.  The homeowner hated the cold air and the service technician hated the controls and wiring the manufacturers had offered.

In the early nineties the dual fuel heat pump began to emerge and there were still issues concerning the wiring that the technicians in the field had problems with. The manufacturers were offering large metal boxes with open wiring and most units had only one relay to do the job. One major manufacturer had one of these boxes with only on terminal strip to bring the wires into. It was a real nightmare for the service people because each manufacturer had their own product version. A service call could consist of much wasted time trying to understand what a manufacturer had in mind. The installer had as much of a problem trying to decide where to install the big box. If the heating unit was in a closet there usually wasn't any place to mount it. These were not the only problems some manufacture's controls had

technical problems that were a very big liability. There was one of the largest HVAC manufacturers in the industry that offered a single peanut relay with a handful of wires, but no box.

In Oklahoma City, Bill Porter, and other dealers were very disturbed and frustrated with the situation presented by manufacturers. Bill knew the answer to the problem lay with the PC Board , and began to share with other dealers what he could do to solve the issues presented. They encouraged him and made commitments if he would pursue the technical venture. Although the PC board was slowly advancing in the industry, Bill knew this was the right direction that should be taken.
