• Residential Market

Like last year, this year's Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/light commercial information is published in this issue, and the commercial equipment will be featured in the November 7 issue. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product that was submitted by the manufacturers.

The showcase features the product grid, which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. The accompanying photo feature provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and also includes technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the photo feature section.
