Nov. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Keeping cool

Though revenue from new installations slowed during the recession when construction levels fell, steady demand for maintenance and repair services kept the Heating and Air Conditioning industry running. As the real estate market improves, so too will industry demand. Government initiatives to reduce energy consumption will promote installations of newer, more energy-efficient units. However, competition from operators in outside industries such as electricians and manufacturers will constrain growth.

This Industry Market Research report from IBISWorld provides a detailed analysis of the Heating & Air Conditioning in the US industry, including key growth trends, statistics, forecasts, the competitive environment including market shares and the key issues facing the industry.
