Bonaire USA, LLC (Bonaire), is a Henderson, Nevada, based company that manufactures evaporative coolers. Bonaire sold or offered for sale evaporative coolers in California, from July 2015 to March 2019.

This case was the result of an industry complaint. The California Energy Commission's (CEC) investigation process identified that Bonaire was manufacturing and offering for sale evaporative coolers that were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To settle this matter, Bonaire executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on February 7, 2020, for $22,000.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). Bonaire has also agreed to a compliance plan to test and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
