ACR&HP Awards finalists announced

NACRHPA-logoUK: Over 81 entries have been shortlisted for 13 categories in the 2016 National ACR and Heat Pump Awards.

This new event, formed by combining the National Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Awards and the National Heat Pump Awards, sees a large number of companies, from the well-known to the less well-known, competing for the accolades across the domestic, commercial and industrial heating, air conditioning and refrigeration sectors.

No category will be more keenly contested than that to find the top Air Conditioning Product, where the competing VRF technologies of Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Toshiba will battle it out amongst the finalists.

In the Wholesaler/Distributor of the Year category, heavyweights Climate Center and RW Refrigeration Wholesale will compete for the title with Hawco and the air conditioning distributors Cool Designs and Space Air.
