Who is Watsco?
Watsco operates the largest distribution network for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) products across various territories, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, as well as exports to Latin America and the Caribbean. Each year, about 375,000 contractors, technicians, and installers access Watsco’s extensive resources and products through its numerous locations.
Focus on the Replacement Market
The company specializes in the replacement market, which is experiencing growth due to the age and efficiency of existing HVAC systems. With a significant portion of installed systems over 10 years old, Watsco is presented with opportunities to promote energy-efficient models. The Energy Information Administration reports that approximately 102 million HVAC systems are currently in the U.S., many of which fall below modern efficiency standards.
Environmental Contributions of Watsco
As the demand for HVAC products rises, so does Watsco’s awareness of climate change impacts. The company has taken strategic steps to address these environmental challenges actively. According to the Department of Energy, HVAC systems account for around half of household energy consumption in the U.S. By replacing old systems with more efficient options, homeowners can significantly reduce their electricity usage and carbon emissions.
Achievements in Emission Reductions
Watsco has made impressive strides in reducing CO2 emissions. From January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2025, it is estimated that Watsco averted around 24.5 million metric tons of CO2 emissions through the sale of higher-efficiency HVAC systems—equivalent to removing approximately 5.7 million gas-powered vehicles off the roads annually. This accomplishment not only emphasizes Watsco’s commitment to sustainability but also highlights its essential role in advocating for energy-efficient solutions.
