The local HVAC industry now finds itself in a position of 
fighting a giant.  Reliant Energy has begun to use their logo 
not only in the transmission of electricity and gas to homes 
and businesses, but also for the purpose of establishing 
their new retail operations, which includes the solicitation of 
sales & service of A/C equipment.

Some of us understand that Reliant Energy - Retail is not 
"The Light Company", however the public is not aware of 
any differences. The common thought is any solicitation by Reliant Energy is a solicitation by the local utility. When 
HL&P and Entex changed their corporate name, huge 
amounts of monies were spent to make the public aware 
that the new name of the local utility company is Reliant 
Energy. Now the retail side of the expenditure has immediate name recognition and perceived consumer confidence.  

Join us for a Town Meeting to fight the Goliath. We want 
Reliant Energy to stop using the Reliant Energy logo to 
attract and service the air conditioning of retail customers 
at the expense of small businesses.

Everyplace where unfair competition has been fought 
there has been a victory.  Only apathy has resulted in a loss.

Join us for a town Meeting.
Have a say in your future!

Date:  February 15, 2001
Place: North side Columbus Club 607 E. Whitney
Time:  4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

If you can't make the meeting or want to Help us voice our cause, please send the enclosed letter to the Texas House 
of Representatives supporting the letter addressed to the 
Public Utility Commission.  This letter was written by Bob 
Elolf to voice the concerns of the Reliant Energy situation.
