The Air-Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute reported in July 2026 that heat pump shipments grew for the sixth consecutive month. Nearly every category in AHRI's Equipment Shipment Data report showed increases compared to July 2025\. Growth ranged from 2% to 36% across product lines. Heat pump shipments reached one of their highest July totals in the report's history.

Rising shipment numbers suggest stronger demand heading into the second half of the year. However, manufacturers continue raising prices by 5% to 15% to cover regulatory compliance costs and ongoing supply chain expenses. This creates a narrow window where customer interest is high but equipment costs keep climbing.

Schedule callbacks now with customers who delayed equipment replacement earlier this year. With demand picking up and prices still rising, homeowners who were on the fence about replacing older systems may be more willing to move forward. Acting now positions them ahead of the next round of price increases.

**Key Takeaways:**

- Heat pumps hit sixth straight month of growth in July 2026
- Most HVAC equipment categories up 2% to 36% year-over-year
- Manufacturers raising prices 5% to 15% for compliance and supply costs
- Heat pump July shipments reached historic highs for the month
