Business Wire, Oct 14, 2008

HAWTHORNE, N.J. -- Colonial Commercial Corp. ("Colonial") (OTC Bulletin Board: "CCOM," "CCOMP"), today announced that it has been appointed by Johnson Controls, Inc. as a non-exclusive distributor at all of Colonial's locations for the Fraser Johnston line of commercial rooftop and HVAC units, "Source 1" HVAC service parts, and commercial HVAC control systems. Colonial will no longer distribute American Standard HVAC products.

Colonial also announced that it is closing its Hicksville, Long Island sales offices.

William Pagano, Chief Executive Officer of Colonial, stated "The new agreements with Johnson Controls, Inc. enable us to standardize with a single high-quality commercial HVAC line at all our locations. The addition of Johnson Controls direct digital commercial control systems enables us to sell complete commercial control systems along with appropriate commercial HVAC products. We will also market Source 1 HVAC replacement parts at all our locations to expand our replacement parts business for both commercial and residential HVAC equipment. These are new opportunities which should meaningfully benefit our business during these challenging times."
