Refrigerators decreased the most, down 23.9%, while disposers increased the most, climbing 4.7%.
In terms of HVAC shipments for March 2011, central air-conditioners were up 17% compared to March 2010. Shipment numbers for the first quarter of 2011 show that air-source heat pumps increased the most over first-quarter 2010, up 17%.
The U.S. Census Bureau reported that adjusted Electronics & Appliance Store sales in April 2011 were $8.42 billion, down from $8.6 billion in March 2011.
