The pandemic has created a number of winners and losers over the last two years, with some businesses closing down completely and others doing quite well. For the most part, HVAC contractors fell into the latter category, as consumers invested in new equipment and indoor air quality accessories in order to feel safer and more comfortable while spending a lot more time at home. The same is true in commercial spaces, as building owners began upgrading their ventilation and filtration systems in order to make people feel comfortable about using — or working in — their facilities.
Contractors hope to keep that momentum going this year, but that hinges on being able to obtain the equipment and components necessary for their customers, as well as finding the skilled labor needed to install them correctly.
