It Was the Summer of HVAC

摘要

Well, that went pretty well. I am speaking of the summer season for a good portion of our HVAC contractor audience. It was a banner year for many, as air conditioners were flying off the shelf faster than doughnuts at a Weight Watchers after-party. In speaking with a lot of contractors at the recent Service World Expo in Las Vegas, I can't remember one person saying they had a down year. In fact, most were letting me know that sales had grown double digits in 2018. The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) shipment numbers bore that out, as year-to-date shipments were up 5 to 10 percent, based on what category you were looking at.
