Roger Hoffhein, a training specialist with Minnesota energy provider CenterPoint Energy Minnegasco, was the winner of a 46-inch plasma television at Contracting Business magazine's HVAC COMFORTECH 2004. CenterPoint Energy is a Ruud service provider in the Minneapolis area.

Ruud District Sales Manager Mark Miller and Gerard Melgaard, president of the Goodin Company, the local Ruud distributor for CenterPoint, presented the TV to Hoffhein at Goodin's corporate offices. Hoffhein was randomly selected from among hundreds of visitors to the Ruud

Innovation Center exhibit displayed at HVAC COMFORTECH 2004 in St. Louis. Hoffhein registered for the TV give-away by participating in a demonstration of the all-new web-based Ruud Better Home Planning Guide, which made its debut at the annual industry event. For more information, visit www.ruud.com
