AHRI last week released August shipment figures, showing increases across the board. Details: Combined shipments of central ACs and heat pumps topped 975,000 in August, up 11% year-over-year. Heat pump shipments alone grew over 20% compared to last August. Of note: 6.7 million total air conditioners and heat pumps were shipped from January to August, a 4% jump from the same period last year. Why it matters: 2024 shipments are outpacing 2023, contrary to some early predictions, as we’ve covered before. Full story: https://lnkd.in/eVMUzzWE

AHRI on Friday released its September shipment figures, showing yet another across-the-board gain. Details: Just over 900,000 combined central air conditioners and heat pumps were shipped in September, up 18% from last year. Heat pump shipments, in particular, jumped 27% year-over-year to 383,000. Why it matters: Shipments, which generally indicate the health of the replacement market, took a 17% hit in 2023 — and were expected to fall again this year. However, they haven’t. As of September, year-to-date combined shipments have topped 7.6 million, about 6% higher than the same period last year. Full Story: https://lnkd.in/dsA_Pein

Shipments of central air conditioners and heat pumps grew 53 percent, year-over-year, in October, according to The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) data released on Friday. Why it matters: This marks the biggest year-over-year monthly gain since April 2021. Full story: https://lnkd.in/dpzPkaqF

AHRI just released June shipment data for 2024 ❗ US shipments of central AC and Heat Pumps were up 10% year over year for June and increased by 0.5% since 2021. Heat pumps led the way with a June 14% year-over-year shipment increase, with central AC up 8%. Year-to-date shipments (all shipments through June) for both central ac and heat pump were down 0.4% YoY, but central acs were up slightly (0.3%) while heat pumps were down (1.3%). In April, May, and June, we saw single-month year-over-year increases, signaling strong summer demand, but it will be interesting to monitor and see how the rest of the year plays out! #hvacmarketing #hvac #datadriventrades #contractors #homeservices #trades

AHRI is expected to release August HVAC shipments tomorrow (figures trail by two months). A look back at July: - AC and heat pump shipments: Up 22% year-over-year - Gas furnace shipments: Up 20% year-over-year Of note: There were concerns heading into this year that total shipments would further decline from 2023, which saw a 17% drop from 2022. But that’s not the case so far: From January to July, shipments increased by 3% from 5.59 million in 2023 to 5.76 million in 2024. Our story: https://lnkd.in/dYDwrFbx

The AHRI Standard 210/240 serves as a benchmark for evaluating the performance of unitary air-conditioning systems and air-source heat pumps. Developed by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), this standard outline the definitions, classifications, testing protocols, rating criteria, operational guidelines, and essential data requirements for the published ratings of these systems.  Key Highlights of AHRI Standard 210/240: 1. Coverage: This standard is applicable to factory-assembled unitary air conditioners and air-source heat pumps with capacities below 65,000 Btu/h. 2. Energy Type: It specifically pertains to electrically powered, vapor compression refrigeration systems. 3. What’s Excluded: The standard does not include heat-operated devices, packaged terminal units, room air conditioners, or systems with capacities of 65,000 Btu/h or more. 4. Testing and Evaluation: It provides comprehensive guidelines for psychrometric testing to ensure consistent and accurate results, considering modern advancements like variable speed compressors and air-moving technologies. This standard plays a vital role in guaranteeing that air-conditioning and heat pump systems adhere to uniform performance and efficiency standards, aiding consumers in making educated choices while fostering energy efficiency in HVAC systems. #AHRIStandard2017 #PerformanceRating #HVACstandards #EnergyEfficiency #AHRI210 #AHRI240 #HVACperformance #IndustryStandards #HVACcertification #AHRIapproved

🌬️ INTEGRATED Air & Heat Trivia Challenge! 🌬️ Trivia Question: What is the purpose of the expansion valve in an HVAC system? Answer: The expansion valve regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil, allowing it to expand, which lowers its pressure and temperature. This process is crucial for cooling the air effectively! Did you guess correctly? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned for more HVAC knowledge challenges! #IAHTrivia #HVACFacts #ChooseIAH #EngageWithIAH
