Contests
Every year, The ACHR News hosts the following contests to highlight the best of the best when it comes to contracting, distributing, and manufacturing companies, as well as the individuals who work for them. Click the links below to find out more about each contest and how to qualify.
Dealer Design Awards
Not your normal product awards showcase, the Dealer Design Awards highlights the best HVACR equipment introduced over the last year — from a contractor’s perspective. Manufacturers submit their top products, and a panel of HVACR contractor judges chooses Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards for features that aid installation, maintenance, and service of installed products to the HVACR industry.
The Best Contractor to Work For
What makes your HVAC company stand out? Employees nominate their workplaces and share their stories about what makes it special, from training and wages to camaraderie, hard work, on-the-job safety, and more.
Top 30 Distributors
Distribution Trends, a bimonthly insert to The NEWS, recognizes the sales leaders in HVACR distribution and highlights their sales increases, success stories, and long-term goals.
Top 40 Under 40
The rising stars of the HVACR field! We ask our readers to nominate young talent coming up through the ranks in every aspect of the industry — manufacturing, distribution, instructional, contracting — and highlight 40 who are leading the trade into the future.
Women in HVAC
There are a lot of women making a difference in the HVAC industry and it’s time to showcase them! The ACHR NEWS would like to highlight these women in our Recognizing Women in the HVAC Industry issue. We will be showcasing those women driving the industry.
