Project Mix: New Construction vs. Retrofit / Remodel

We asked about the percentage of projects that are new construction compared to those that are retrofits / remodels. Most respondents shared they have projects in both categories, with overall results showing new construction and retrofit / remodels with close percentages.

Upgrading or replacing older HVAC equipment improves performance, efficiency, and reliability. With decades of experience in the HVAC retrofit market, we partner with leading manufacturers to deliver innovative solutions – view our HVAC Retrofits brochure, and contact us to learn more!
