Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing for Residential, Commercial, and Appliance Use
Analysis
NAICS 334512 is the 2022 national industry for automatic environmental control manufacturing for residential, commercial, and appliance use, part of 33451 (Navigational, Measuring, Electromedical, and Control Instruments Manufacturing). Census lists 56 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 233 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 13,458 people at an average annual payroll of $90,462 per employee (78th percentile of national industries). 32% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 12% and employment rose 13%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include air flow controllers (except valves), air-conditioning and…, appliance controls manufacturing, appliance regulators (except switches) manufacturing and building services monitoring controls, automatic…, among 56 in all.
Its goods appear in 9 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 9032 (automatic regulating or controlling instruments and…) and 9107 (). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
Census lists 4 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 334513, 335314, 335931 and 334519. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Official definition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing automatic controls and regulators for applications, such as heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, and appliances.
