Heating and cooling equipment shipments were just over two million units in May, down 2.4 percent compared to one year ago, according to data recently released by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). This is the second consecutive month that total monthly equipment shipments have declined on a year-over-year basis since September 2018.
Residential and commercial storage water heater shipments fell 11.9 percent year over year to a combined 721,664 units; 700,903 units were shipped for residential use and 20,761 units for commercial use.
