Among hvacr contractors and other servicers who buy and install refrigerant filter-driers, the most important factor is product availability, which just edges out product reliability and quality. These are part of the results of a survey conducted by The News last November, titled “Refrigerant Driers Market Profile Study.”
When the contractor-subscribers were asked to rate these qualities on a scale of one to five (with five being “very important” and one “not at all important”), their rankings shifted. According to the survey, 81% of the respondents called product reliability “very important,” 79% called quality “very important,” and 71% said availability is “very important.”
