Percentage of households that used an air conditioner, and for those who did the type of air conditioner used. The data is from the Households and the environment survey.

The National Private Vehicle Use Survey was conducted by Statistics Canada between October 1994 - September 1996, with the cooperation and support of Natural Resources Canada. This micro-data file contains household based informationon the number of personal-use passenger cars, vans and light trucks in Canada for the period January 1996 to September 1996. File information comprises household demographics, fleet profiles, distance travelled, and fuel purchase and fuel-use information for a randomly selected household vehicle. Background data on the household and household vehicle fleet was collected in a telephone interview, while data on fuel consumption patterns were collected by asking respondents to keep a diary of the kilometres driven and fuel purchases for a one month period.

This public-use microdata file is from the 1974 Canadian Family Expenditure Survey data. The survey was carried out in January, February and March 1975 and refers to calendar year 1974. The Survey of Family Expenditure of 1974 is the first survey since 1972 and was designed to provide information for persons living in private households in 14 major urban centres of Canada. Users should note that data on detailed food expenditure for 1974 were collected in a separate survey (see Statistics Canada Catalogue Number 62-542). The Food Survey had the same coverage as the Family Expenditure Survey of 1974.

The Survey of Household Spending provides detailed information on household expenditures, dwelling characteristics, and ownership of household equipment such as appliances, audio and video equipment, and vehicles. Expenditure categories include: shelter expenses, furnishings and equipment, cost of running the home, communications, child care, food, alcohol and tobacco products, clothing, gifts, medical and health care, transportation and travel, recreation, reading materials, education, taxes, insurance payments and pension contributions. Dwelling characteristics include: type of dwelling, repairs needed (major, minor, none), tenure, year of move, period of construction, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, principal heating equipment and fuel, age of principal heating equipment, principal heating fuel for hot water, and principal cooking fuel. Household equipment includes: washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, telephones, cellular phones, compact disc players, cablevision, video cassette recorders, computers, modems, internet use from home, televisions, and vehicles. Characteristics of the household, reference person, and spouse of reference person are also provided. The annual Survey of Household Spending replaces the Family Expenditure (FAMEX) Survey which was conducted approximately every four years. The last FAMEX survey was for the reference year 1996. Content from the former annual Household Facilities and Equipment (HFE) Survey is also included in the Survey of Household Spending. The last HFE survey was for the reference year 1998. Please note that when comparing data to the HIFE files, HIFE Reference Year refers to the year in which the data was collected - based on previous year's income and spending. Therefore HIFE Reference Year 1998 collected data based on the 1997 income year. Conversly, the SHS (Survey of Household Spending) uses the term Reference Year to indicate the year of the income and spending rather than the year the data was collected. Therefore, in SHS, the 2000 Reference Year refers to 2000 income and spending, not the year (2001) in which the data was collected.

This public-use microdata tape is the first available using data from the Homeowner Repair and Renovation Survey (funded by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Natural Resources Canada and Statistics Canada) and data from the Home Energy Retrofit Survey (funded by Natural Resources Canada).The surveys were carried out in March 1995 as a supplement to the Labour ForceSurvey and refers to calendar year 1994. These surveys provide information for homeowners living in private households in the ten provinces of Canada.

This public-use microdata file combines data from the Homeowner Repair and Renovation Survey (funded by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Natural Resources Canada and Statistics Canada) and data from the Home Energy Retrofit Survey (funded by Natural Resources Canada). The surveys were carried out in March 1996 as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey and refer to the previous calendar year 1995. These surveys provide information about homeowners living in private households in the ten provinces of Canada. The file includes data for expenditures on: improving and maintaining homes; renovations and alterations; contract work; materials i.e. doors, windows, eavestroughing; additions such as rooms, garages or landscaping; painting, plumbing or re-roofing; and heating and air-conditioning equipment. Only homeowners who owned and occupied the current dwelling for 12 months in 1995 are included on this file. This is a change from the 1994 version of the file.

In 2022, California was the state in the U.S. with the highest number of establishments in an HVAC-related segment. Meanwhile, Florida and Texas had ****** and ****** manufacturrs, wholesalers, or constractors of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC-R) equipment. Most of those establishments were plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. The number of manufacturers and wholesalers of HVAC-R equipment were significantly lower in most states. Air conditioner market in North AmericaNorth America was one of the regions with the highest demand for air conditioners, only behind Asia, where China and Japan had a really large market share. Although the number of shipments for air conditioners in the U.S. decreased between 2021 and 2023, AC shipments increased again in 2024. Meanwhile, Ontario was by far the region with most of the plumbing and HVAC establishments in Canada. The next states in the list were British Columbia, Quebec, and Alberta. HVAC market in EuropeThe annual sales of heat pumps in Europe have also been growing a lot in recent years, surpassing the figure of ************* units sold in 2024. Heat pumps are considered an important technology for the energy transition, and some governments across Europe have been promoting them through public policy.

This statistic represents the price of electricity to industrial consumers in selected European countries during the last six months of 2017, with a breakdown by country. In Ireland, consumers in the industrial sector paid around ***** euro cents plus tax for one kilowatt hour of electricity.

Industrial sector electricity prices in selected European countries

At **** euro-cents per kilowatt hour, Czechia has some of the cheapest industrial sector electricity rates, reaching less than half that of Malta’s. Malta’s industrial sector electricity price is among the highest in the European Union, reaching ***** euro-cents per kilowatt hour in December 2017. Compared to other countries, some EU member states have very high electricity prices overall. Electricity prices in Italy are in excess of ** U.S. dollar cents per kilowatt hour while Canada’s electricity prices average about **** U.S. dollar cents per kilowatt hour.

Power tariffs can vary by a large range by country - and often within individual countries as well. Differences in prices are due to a range of factors such as market price of fuel used, subsidies, and industry regulation. Supply and demand are also highly influential in changing prices. Certain weather patterns, such as high heat, can also raise prices when use of air conditioning becomes more prevalent. In virtually all markets, like that of the European Union, electricity rates also vary for industrial, residential, and commercial customers. Since expenditures for power can slab off a fair amount of a company’s revenue, industrial electricity tariffs – particularly when it comes to power-intensive industries, including the cement or metal manufacturing sectors - are often lower than residential rates. Household electricity prices are among the highest in Denmark, where those with an annual consumption of 1,000 to ***** kilowatt hours must pay about ** euro-cents per kilowatt hour.

The Survey of Household Spending provides detailed information on household expenditures, dwelling characteristics, and ownership of household equipment. The Survey of Household Spending is carried out annually across Canada in the ten provinces. Data for the territories are available for 1998, 1999 and every second year thereafter. The 2011 SHS was conducted from January 2011 to December 2011 using a sample of 17,873 households in the 10 provinces (the territories were not included in the 2011 survey). Detailed spending information was collected, as well as limited information on dwelling characteristics and household equipment. The method of adjusting for incomplete diaries has been refined with the 2011 SHS. As well, the age of household members is now defined to be at the time of the interview rather than as of December 31st of the survey year. To ensure comparability of the data, the 2010 data have also been revised by incorporating these changes. The revised 2010 estimate of average household spending on all types of goods and services has increased by 1.3% when compared with the previously published 2010 estimate (April 2012).
