FragmentationConsolidatedEstimate

Not separately sized. Residential air-conditioning and warm-air heating share one classification with commercial HVAC and commercial refrigeration, and the split is not disclosed; the combined line sits in the sector total above. The economics are worth knowing anyway: this is a replacement business running on a fifteen-year clock, sold through contractors rather than to homeowners, so distribution relationships matter more than brand.
