It’s been popping in my email for a few weeks now, but after finally reading the details of an UnleashWD announcement the dawn came. This is where distribution innovation goes to create the next revolutionary step in wholesale distribution.
A 30 percent federal tax credit and high levels of consumer knowledge have spurred growth in the geothermal heat pump market. While most estimates have the market at around 1-2 percent, distributors would be wise to educate their customers on geothermal as some predict as much as a 100 percent increase by 2017. Geothermal manufacturer ClimateMaster wants to make that process as easy as possible for distributors.

Members
of WIT & Co., a buying group comprised of independent plumbing, heating,
and cooling distributors, recently convened in Phoenix for their annual Fall
Networking Meeting. What transpired at this meeting?
September and October are always busy traveling months for those of us in the HVAC trade press. It makes sense as most associations hold their meetings during these months to get the highest attendance since this is typically one of HVAC’s shoulder seasons.
