Manufacturers have answered the legislative, contractor, and consumer challenges for greater efficiencies with a multitude of products, including The NEWS’ award winners in the HVAC High Efficiency Residential Equipment category of the fifth annual Dealer Design Awards.
Consumers not only want their home to feel good, but they also want it to look good too. Winners of the The NEWS’ fifth annual Dealer Design Awards’ HVAC Residential Equipment category killed two birds with one stone when they designed their award-winning products.
The NEWS’ fifth annual Dealer Design Awards Components and Accessories winners were a few among the many. The diverse and vast entries from a bevy of manufacturers challenged the contractor judges to examine closely the bits and pieces that create entire systems.
Larger facilities require greater measures to control the intricacies of their HVAC systems. The new technologies of these facilities have brought commercial contractors greater challenges and the winners of The NEWS’ Dealer Design Awards’ Commercial Controls category have provided superior solutions.
With the growing desire for healthy homes and expanding awareness of sick building syndrome, residential and commercial contractors are seeking new solutions to offer customers. The NEWS’ Dealer Design Awards’ Indoor Air Quality category awarded manufacturers endeavoring to assist contractors in their quest.
The variety of installation scenarios that contractors face requires manufacturers to continually produce new products to meet each creative application’s ventilation needs. It is this creativity and ingenuity that The NEWS awarded in the Ventilation Products category of the fifth annual Dealer Design Awards.
Tools of the HVAC trade help technicians and installers perform at increased efficiency and accuracy levels. Some tools even provide the ability to accomplish a task that couldn’t be done otherwise. The winners of The NEWS’ Dealer Design Awards’ Tools category represent equipment from both sides of the toolbox.
This year’s winners in the residential controls (including zoning) category of The NEWS’ fifth annual Dealer Design Awards are providing contractors with new ideas to make every zone in the house accurately controlled and comfortable.
As contractors endeavor to implement new and alternative rooftop technologies, questions often arise as to what the best choice is for each customer. What many of them have found, however, is that no one solution can be effective for every customer.
There is more to consider than refrigerants, ducting, and utility hookups when installing rooftop equipment. Safety procedures should also be a concern as rooftop installers confront falling risks, large heavy equipment, and the operation of ladders, lifts, and cranes.
