A panel representing four major manufacturers discussed political and regulatory issues in front of HVACR distributors during the recent HARDI conference in Las Vegas.
With A2L refrigerants now making up 91% of central ducted unit sales, HARDI says the transition is effectively complete — and all eyes are on EPA to fix installation deadline risks for remaining R-410A stock.
Nearly a third of all sales by wholesale distributors in 2022 were completed via e-commerce, but the HVACR segment of wholesale distribution lags behind wholesalers in general when it comes to e-commerce, according to a new report from Heating, Air conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI).
The annual sales growth among HARDI distributors participating in the survey has been near 4% during the past three months, while the producer price index for the industry has been moving toward that level.
