<p><em>The ACHR NEWS</em> is proud to introduce the Unitary Study Series – where we surveyed both contractors and homeowners alike, and unlocked the trends driving unitary brand loyalty, market shifts, and buying behaviors. From there, our editors took these topics a bit further to provide our audience with the information they need: what’s selling, whether or not contractors are likely to follow their brand to a new supplier, smart tech growth, the key decisions driving HVAC purchasing decisions, how contractors engage with OEMs, and much more.</p>
