HVAC equipment shipments bounce back in May
Written by Brett Linton
Heating and cooling equipment shipments grew from April to May, according to the latest data released by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). Shipments of air conditioners, heat pumps, and warm-air furnaces increased from April, while water heater shipments declined. Overall, shipment volumes remain strong compared to the past three years.
Total shipments reached 1.97 million units in May, up 66,000 units, or 3%, month over month (m/m) (Figure 1, left). May shipments are nearly identical to levels seen one year ago.
