The plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning industry presents a mixed risk for AI displacement. While there's potential for AI integration in standardization and diagnostics, the specialized and often unpredictable nature of the work means human expertise remains critical. Regulatory and compliance requirements and infrastructure investments further modulate the pace of AI adoption.
