US Heating and Cooling Equipment Shipments Rise in June
Written by Brett Linton
US heating and cooling equipment shipments increased 7% from May to 2.24 million units in June, according to data from the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). June represents the fifth highest monthly shipment rate in our 14+ year history. (Note that June tends to be the month with the highest shipment levels, as was the case in 2021, 2020, and 2018). Total June shipments are down 3% compared to levels one year prior.
On a twelve-month moving average (12MMA) basis, shipments averaged 2.02 million tons per month over the past year, down 1% from the record-high 12MMA seen in March. Shipments averaged 2.03 million units per month in 2021, up 10% compared to 1.85 million units per month shipped in the same period of 2020.
