Just like in every other industry, HVAC is improving and growing each year. This year is certainly no exception, and there are already new products hitting the shelves. As a homeowner, it may be difficult to keep up with, so the presenter in the embedded video discusses some of the most important trends. Ask your HVAC contractor for more info about any of these.
There is a huge emphasis on budget products as things are always getting more expensive.
Thermostats connected to the internet allow for more accurate temperature and budget control. Contractors should be prepared for a low end quote with each estimate for the budget-minded homeowner.
New condensers are being released that have a side discharge rather than a top discharge. This allows for a greater surface area and maximizes efficiency while using less materials.
Of course, a trend in 2024 wouldn't be complete without AI. There are already systems being created that measure the ambient temperature in the room and use AI to help correct back to the proper temperature.
Also important this year are indoor air purification products, new refrigerants used, and more options for leasing or paying over time. Keep an eye out for these things, or ask an HVAC contractor about them all.
