YORK® places contractors at the center of its business model
Posted on:

Since 1874, YORK® has built an impressive line of HVACR products. But where many manufacturers stop at making equipment, YORK® has created one of the industry’s most thorough support systems focused on helping contractors grow their businesses. This approach puts the people who install and service YORK® products at the center of company decisions.
Ducted Systems Academy teaches skills contractors actually use
At the heart of YORK®’s contractor support is its training program. Johnson Controls Ducted Systems Academy gives YORK® contractors more than general product knowledge. Its training shows professionals how to talk with homeowners effectively, run their teams better, and spot market trends that lead to sales. This mix of technical and business training helps YORK® contractors stand out in crowded markets.
Business tools that boost the bottom line
Beyond training, YORK® gives contractors fresh marketing resources and strong warranties backed by financing options that help close more sales. The YORK® Certified Comfort Expert™ program helps businesses build websites that work, offer payment plans customers want, and create advertising that brings in calls. These tools help new companies establish themselves and experienced contractors expand their service areas.
YORK® and ACCA cut through A2L confusion
YORK®’s commitment to contractors extends to industry partnerships as well. As the industry moves to A2L refrigerants, contractors face a flood of sometimes conflicting information. The YORK®-ACCA partnership delivers straight answers about changing requirements, saving professionals hours of research. This collaboration also gives YORK® contractors input on industry regulations that directly impact their daily work.
Solutions for the problems contractors actually face
This hands-on approach shapes YORK®’s tools, too. YORK® created its Refrigerant Detection System Calculator after hearing contractors struggle with complex calculations in the field. The company’s Norman Modification Center builds custom equipment for unusual installations.
YORK® continues developing equipment for tomorrow’s needs, including heat pumps and air conditioners that meet changing environmental standards.
“At the end of the day, every decision we make is for our customers. We felt that moving toward YORK® was the best move for us,” says Mitch White of Handy Bros Home Comfort.
