Inverter technology is being incorporated into a wider range of HVAC systems, allowing the equipment to operate at lower speeds and consume less energy, which results in significant energy savings and lower carbon emissions.

Today, HVACR distributors rely on enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to handle nearly every level of their operations. Vendor data, turns, dead stock, cycle counts, sales margins, and much more can be accessed directly from a computer or, in some cases, a mobile device.

Here’s an answer for contractors wondering, “How do I effectively sell air movement and ventilation efficiency, and why should I?”

Evapco had an exciting fourth quarter of 2017, and they used the 2018 AHR Expo to build upon that success.

With over 20 years of experience in natural refrigerants, Embraco’s compressor portfolio features products for commercial food service, food retail, merchandisers, and aftermarket segments. Conveniently, the booth was sectioned into these four different segments, so AHR Expo attendees could easily find the R-290 solution they were looking for.

One of the reasons why Tecumseh regularly exhibits at the AHR Expo is for the increased visibility that it provides in the refrigeration industry.

In the end, it's about airflow control. Unless your solution involves airflow and pressure measurement, you're guessing whether the repair worked.

Many homeowners may underestimate the importance of proper ventilation, which a lack of could cause discomfort and higher energy bills.

When the efficiency of an HVAC system is discussed, proper ductwork is often overlooked. But at the AHR Expo in Las Vegas, it was discussed plenty at the Johns Manville booth.

I hope you see the potential for this formula. It will make your life easier and help you predict changes to blower speed settings with more accuracy and reliability.
