Market Outlook/Competition:
Studies show that the $13.7 billion dollar US HVAC industry will grow 4.5% annually through 2013, driven by a recovery in residential housing and government incentives to buy more energy-efficient systems (10% credit with a cap of $500 for energy-efficient systems, 30% uncapped for renewable energy-based systems). Because of the recession and tight credit market, many homeowners have put off needed HVAC equipment replacement. Their HVAC equipment continues to age, causing pent-up demand waiting to be released.
