Who makes JHS portable ACs?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.
One of the 5 JHS basic models is filed under GARVEE's own model number (JHS-A020B-10KR-D).
One unit is filed under JHS' own model number and sold by other brands too, so JHS is the filer of record for it.
