Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning

Operators in the Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Installation industry install, repair and maintain boiler, central heating, air conditioning and drainage systems. The residential and commercial markets are key for the industry, making its performance dependent on downstream construction cycles. Over the past five years, economic recovery, reinvigorated confidence and policy support allowed for a revitalisation in downstream markets, benefiting demand for industry services. However, post-financial crisis volatility in the construction sector, competitive pricing pressures and disinter mediation have consistently weighed on industry growth.
