The economy is constantly changing, and though experts predict a good year for HVACR contractors in 2018, many of them are adding or expanding services to help combat the unpredictability of consumer spending habits.
“With the adoption of the HEAT Act, there’s now plenty of government incentives to stimulate the economy, especially in our industry,” Paul Stalknecht, president and CEO, ACCA, recently told The NEWS. “We’re really excited about that opportunity, and the fact that more and more contractors are recognizing the need and the mindset to own the home. We’re seeing more getting involved in more areas of the home, like the whole-house building envelope, home automation, pest control, security systems, and even some that are getting involved in media and sound systems for the home. Those of them that do that have a tremendous upside in their business for the coming year.”
