Starting January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy will be updating its energy efficiency standards for HVACR equipment. In addition to this, regional standards in the South and Southwest will be based on the date of installation, not the date of manufacture. These regulations could make existing supply shortages worse, and open the doors for distributors to shift responsibility to the customer. It is more important than ever for the industry to be ready for these standards, and to join the fight against them.

Don’t you hate it when a good technician (or installer, or sales person, or CSR, etc.) quits? Now you have to start all over with someone new. Is it worth it?

Did NOAA get it right? Last October, ACCA’s Wes Davis reported that NOAA said there was a high probability for most of the country to be warmer, while the Pacific Northwest would be colder. Where he lives, it’s been cold. How about you? It’s early in the year but, did NOAA get it right?
