In the United States, the phrase “too big to fail” has become all too common. But applying it to the commercial sector of HVACR equipment puts a different spin on it. Who were declared the 2012 Dealer Design Award winners in this category?  

No matter the season, homes require HVAC equipment. And it is the contractors of this industry who do what they can to make homes comfortable and livable. Their jobs are made simpler with innovations in equipment from manufacturers. In honor of these inventions, The NEWS is honoring three manufacturers in the ninth annual Dealer Design Awards’ HVAC Residential Equipment category.

High efficiency is a high priority on everyone’s list, especially homeowners, who can save a lot of energy with high-efficiency HVAC equipment. The winners of The NEWS’ ninth annual Dealer Design Awards in the HVAC High-Efficiency Residential Equipment category placed high on the judges’ list for ease of installation and service and maintenance, too. 

This year’s winners of The NEWS’ ninth annual Dealer Design Awards’ Indoor Air Quality category provide more tools for contractors to defeat poor air quality and indoor discomfort.

Only two contenders emerged with a win in The NEWS’ ninth annual Dealer Design Awards’ HVAC Light Commercial Equipment category. 

The gold, silver, and bronze winners of The NEWS' ninth annual Dealer Design awards in the Ventilation Product category not only help the air to circulate in a building, but also help HVAC contractors install and service them better and easier.

Bringing homeowners increased comfort, higher efficiency, and greater control, the Residential Controls (including zoning) category of The NEWS’ ninth annual Dealer Design Awards is full of products pushing home control to new heights.
