Plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation

NACE v2.1 Code: F43.22

About plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation

NACE code 43.22 covers the plumbing, heat, and air-conditioning installation industry, which plays a crucial role in the construction and maintenance of buildings. This industry is responsible for the installation and repair of water supply, drainage, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, ensuring the comfort, safety, and efficiency of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. As a vital component of the broader construction sector, the plumbing, heat, and air-conditioning installation industry contributes significantly to the overall functioning and development of the economy.

Production process

The main production techniques in this industry involve the installation and maintenance of various plumbing, heating, and HVAC systems. This includes the laying of pipes for water supply and drainage, the installation of boilers, furnaces, and other heating equipment, as well as the setup of air-conditioning units and ductwork. Skilled technicians use a range of tools and equipment, such as pipe cutters, welding machines, and specialized installation tools, to ensure the proper functioning and integration of these systems within the building's infrastructure.

Production inputs

The plumbing, heat, and air-conditioning installation industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw materials such as copper, PVC, and steel pipes, as well as fittings, valves, and other plumbing components. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment, such as boilers, furnaces, air-conditioning units, and ventilation systems. Skilled labor, including plumbers, HVAC technicians, and installers, is a critical input for this industry, as their expertise and craftsmanship are essential for the proper installation and maintenance of these systems.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the plumbing, heat, and air-conditioning installation industry are the functional water supply, drainage, heating, and cooling systems installed in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. These systems are essential for the comfort, safety, and energy efficiency of the built environment. The outputs of this industry are consumed by a range of other NACE codes, including 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.21 Construction of utility projects for fluids, and 43.29 Other construction installation, as well as end-users such as homeowners, businesses, and industrial facilities.
