Why order Advancing Alternatives equipment through CT Greenhouse?

Common questions
Buying Advancing Alternatives through us
Still have questions? Reach an owner at (860) 341-8707.
What's the difference between AegisTEC and AegisTEC PLUS?
The base AegisTEC is a single-zone controller with built-in outputs for up to three vent motors. AegisTEC PLUS steps up to two zones, up to four vent motors, ten mappable relay outputs, and adds Day/Night Integrated Fog scheduling. Both are Advancing Alternatives' own controller line, not a third-party product they resell.
Does AegisTEC need external vent motor boxes?
No. Both AegisTEC controllers have built-in 24V DC outputs wired directly to your vent motors, so you are not buying and mounting a separate motor box to get the system running.
How long has Advancing Alternatives been in business?
Over two decades, by their own account. Advancing Alternatives does not publish a specific founding year, so that is the figure we can point to.
Are you an authorized Advancing Alternatives dealer?
Advancing Alternatives does not publish a dealer network to be authorized through, and we buy their equipment through a distributor rather than direct from the manufacturer. What we can tell you is that we stock their controllers and curtain motor hardware, and we stand behind what we sell.
Do you carry the full Advancing Alternatives line?
Yes. We can get the full Advancing Alternatives line, anything they sell, often at the best prices anywhere. Call (860) 341-8707 or send the form below for pricing on anything not on our website.
