Friday is floor-scan day at PES — we pull the newest catalog entries and check what's moving. The honest headline this week: no new arrivals landed since the kit batch we covered on October 3. So instead of manufacturing a headline, we ran the tape on five proven SKUs that keep showing up on contractor POs but rarely get the spotlight. Every price below was re-verified against the live catalog this morning (October 16, 2026).
This week's five
R-22 Refrigerant — 30 lb Cylinder (Reclaimed, AHRI 700) — $279.00
Legacy service gas is getting harder to source every quarter, and this reclaimed-to-AHRI-700-purity cylinder is how older R-22 systems stay alive legally. EPA 608 certification required to purchase, as always. More in HVAC & air conditioning.
MRCOOL DIY 12k BTU 22 SEER2 Mini Split — $606.00
The gateway ductless: 22 SEER2, DIY-oriented install, and the cheapest entry into a real heat-pump system we stock. Single-zone garages, shops, and additions are its home turf. See the rest of mini-split systems.
Generac L2 EVSE 48A — $799.00
A 48-amp Level 2 charger from a brand your customers already trust for standby power. Pairs naturally with the load-management conversations happening in every 100A-panel home. Browse EV chargers.
Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr VE.Can — $465.00
The charge controller off-grid builders spec when the array is serious: 250V PV input, 60A output, VE.Can networking. A fair question came up in this week's audit — our 200W/12V guide now links it at this verified price. Full line in charge controllers.
MidNite Solar MNEPV50 50A DIN-Mount Breaker — $18.41
The sub-$20 workhorse of every PV combiner and small DC panel. Made in the USA, stocked deep, and the single most reordered electrical SKU on our floor this fall. More in circuit breakers.
Also on the radar
One housekeeping note from the scan: a $1 "gateway test" product briefly appeared in the catalog this week — if you spotted it, it's an internal checkout test, not a real offer, and it's being retired. The six project kits added September 30 remain the newest real arrivals; their prices were re-verified today and are unchanged. Need any of this quoted at volume? The wholesale desk answers in one business day.
Frequently asked questions
How often does PES add new products?
Batch drops rather than a drip — the last notable arrival was the six-kit project line on September 30. We scan every Tuesday and Friday and post here when something real lands.
Are these prices live right now?
Yes — every price in this post was read from the live catalog on the morning of October 16, 2026. Prices can move with vendor cost changes; the product page is always the final word.
Can I get these items in contractor quantities?
All five are regular contractor PO items. Pallet and volume pricing goes through the wholesale quote desk.
