Major manufacturers are betting that ductless HVAC is catching on in the U.S.

Programmable thermostats that can be accessed through an internet device are old hat. Here are just a few of the residential HVAC controls products featured at the Georgia World Congress Center, the host venue for this year’s Expo.

In the realm of residential cooling, two trends popped out at the 2023 AHR Expo: the new federal tax credits and heat pumps.

Cold climate heat pumps were on full display on the AHR show floor and manufacturers were eager to share their progress reports in the Department of Energy’s CCHP Challenge.

At the AHR Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, a panel of experts explored the current state of decarbonization in America, as well as discussed the challenges, opportunities, and solutions that lie ahead.

Smart thermostats offer preventive maintenance options and rebates for customers, but contractors should be sure to get educated — and educate homeowners — on utility rebates like demand-response programs.

The last two years have been very good for the HVAC industry, thanks to robust demand for new equipment; however, manufacturers worry that inflation, rising interest rates, and a possible recession could dampen growth in 2023.

Jason Fleming, Noritz executive vice president and general manager, shares insights and perspective into what’s to be expected out of the industry’s tankless water heaters.

Heat pumps, smart HVACR controls, thermal energy networks, and an increase in the number of energy-efficient buildings are central to the state of New York’s multipronged decarbonization plan.
