During the High-Performance HVAC Summit 2022, which took place in Scottsdale, AZ, March 27-30, National Comfort Institute (NCI) recognized several companies and individuals for excellence in training, technology, and sales. This recognition is the highlight of every Summit event and 2022 marks the 18th year that NCI has recognized excellence in the High-Performance HVAC Industry.
National Comfort Institute presents its "Contractor of the Year" Awards to companies that demonstrate consistent work in implementing Performance-based testing on every service and installation call.
These companies also work to create a performance-based business culture in their firms, having strong service departments that incorporate high-performance methods into their service agreement programs, and who consistently sell system renovations. Winners accomplish all of the above by maintaining a strong training ethic within their overall company culture.
Each year, NCI presents three "Contractor of the Year" awards based on company size:
Small (less than $2 million in volume)
Medium ($2 to 6 million)
Large (more than $6 million).
Here is breakdown of this year’s winners.
