Acekool Innovation Inc. (Acekool) is a company that manufactures refrigeration products and non-central ac and heat pump products based in Tukwila, Washington. Acekool sold or offered for sale commercial ice makers and portable air conditioners in California, from November 2020 to November 2024.

This case was the result of a complaint. CEC’s investigation and testing process identified that Acekool was manufacturing and offering for sale Acekool and Garvee brand portable air conditioners that did not meet the efficiency standard; and portable air conditioners and commercial ice makers that were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS). 

To resolve this matter, Acekool executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on July 7, 2025, for $8,000.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount as required in Public Resources Code section 25402.11. Acekool has also agreed to a compliance plan to discontinue sales of non-compliant models and test and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
