Heat pump shipments climbed 9.8% in March 2026, continuing a years-long trend as refrigerant transitions and regulations reshape the HVAC industry. 

February 2026 shipment data from AHRI shows how the HVAC market is reacting more to policy changes and less to seasonality. 

The latest shipment report from AHRI shows a sluggish start to 2026, with everything from electrification pushes to refrigerant transitions set to affect the coming year. 

Nearly 2 million fewer a/c and heat pump units were shipped in 2025 compared to 2024, according to the latest data from AHRI. 

The latest figures from the AHRI show shipments of a/c units and heat pumps fell in November 2025 compared to the same time last year, while furnaces saw modest year-over-year gains.

The Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute data show that heat pump, a/c, furnace. and water heater shipments all fell in October in comparison to the same month last year.

Nearly 1.1 million fewer air-source heat pumps and central a/c units were shipped in the U.S. this year, through September, than were shipped during the first nine months of 2024.

The a/c and heat pump shipment numbers reflect some of the headwinds industry leaders discussed during last month’s Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference: low consumer demand, high interest rates, tariffs on imported products and materials, and the continuing fallout from the refrigerant transition.

Shipments of a/c units took the biggest drop, 32.9%, as 613,216 units were shipped in July 2024 but only 411,530 in July of this year.
