HARDI: HVAC Demand Softens in September
Written by Tim Triplett
Distributors of products for the HVAC sector are keeping a tight rein on inventories as pricing for galvanized steel continues to weaken. The wholesalers are seeing pressure from customers postponing orders in anticipation of better prices down the road.
“It appears customers are living hand to mouth, waiting to place any large orders until they see where the price fall finishes,” said one member of the Heating, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) during the trade group’s monthly conference call on Tuesday.
