In this showcase, The ACHR NEWS introduces the latest cooling equipment available for the upcoming summer season in order to help contractors distinguish between brands.
While the industry will wrestle through new refrigerants and the higher prices that result, the hotter weather of the next few years will stimulate demand despite equipment affordability issues.
The survey found, for example, that while 47% of contractors advertise via local print media such as newspapers and mailers, only 22% of homeowners search for a contractor through print media.
Numerous obstacles, including mild weather, a lack of demand, a shallow pool of skilled tradespeople, increased competition, inflation, supply chain shortages, and more, have stood in the way of contracting success throughout cooling season.
