The Air Conditioning Contractors of
America’s May Contractor Comfort Index registered a 68, which is three points
higher than April’s number. Anything above 50 indicates growth is expected.
The index is based on a survey of
members on how they feel about business prospects in the near term.
“The CCI tool was introduced in
February, so we always keep in mind its 'newness' as it builds a picture over
time," said Kevin Holland, ACCA vice president for business operations and
membership. "However, as a snapshot of current attitudes, it is clear that
ACCA members are putting the 'cautious' in 'cautiously optimistic.'
"It will be very interesting to see how the index
moves throughout the peak cooling season,” Holland added.
The next index will be released in the last week of June.
