[Infographic] What Trends Will Impact the HVAC Industry in 2017?

A new year brings new challenges. What can contractors, technicians and HVAC specialists expect in 2017?

Strong domestic construction

When cities expand and communities spread out, the HVAC industry sees great economic opportunities. While 2017 may not be a year for the HVAC sales record books, certain markets like the industrial sector and health care are projected to see substantial growth. In turn, so will HVAC.

Continued environmental sustainability

Going green with HVAC means more than buying the right equipment. That’s why the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency established the Energy Star Verified HVAC Installation program in 2016. In 2017, the HVAC industry will have to step up their installation game to really wow nature lovers as well as government regulators.

More consumer-grade innovations in the home

The Internet of Things won’t slow down in 2017. HVAC manufacturers and technicians alike must do everything they can to turn what was once just a thermostat into a centralized hub of environmental data.
