Industry figures are estimates that are derived from the best available figures supplied by a sample of AHRI member companies. 

This single hydronic heat pump features Aurora base communicating controls with optional advanced controls as well as refrigeration and performance. 

This pellet stove offers polished ceramic finishes, solid cast-iron components, and quiet operation. The unit is strong enough to evenly heat an entire home via its smart-zone heating technology. 

This unit is a shorter version of the M7RL gas furnace, as it does not include an integrated coil cabinet. To install this model, HVAC contractors will add a separate coil box, also manufactured by Nortek Global HVAC, that can accept evaporator coils up to 25 inches tall. 

Because it uses the earth as a free heat source or heat sink, geothermal is inherently a highly efficient technology that can help homeowners and building owners save a significant amount of energy and money. And, as advances in technology continue to improve the efficiency and controls of these units, the industry is concurrently investigating ways to make geothermal an affordable option for all.

While most studies insist IoT technologies are on the cusp of becoming mainstream, the question remains: Is the HVAC industry truly ready to embrace the IoT, or is there a sense of trepidation and concern regarding the technology’s staying power and long-term viability?

For the past decade, those in the geothermal heating and cooling industry have benefited from two tax credits that incentivize residential and commercial geothermal installations. But both of these tax credits are four months away from expiring, and all efforts to extend them have failed thus far.
