How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage May Cause Issues for You Parts and Equipment
As we start enjoying the summer, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems operate, the sooner they’ll be needing repair or replacement as components get worn down from everyday operation. And just as the pressure for repairs is set to culminate around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are in for an unwanted surprise. An international raw materials shortage is impacting the HVAC industry, and that means extended wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re needing to repair your air conditioning system, we recommend doing this immediately. Here’s why.
Why There’s a Shortage?
We all know how difficult 2020 was, and it’s disrupted the supply chain. Multiple compounding factors in addition to COVID-19 have led to a worldwide raw materials shortage for numerous companies, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These critical material shortages will impact the availability of many household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for a lot of HVAC manufacturers and warehouses are beginning to dwindle.
How Will the Shortage Impact You?
With less equipment in stock than ever before, more than 125,000 HVAC companies will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors without access to big supply networks might run into unpreventable issues getting required parts for repairs. You might be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to be delivered.
That’s why we strongly encourage any homeowner who is considering getting a new HVAC unit to do it shortly to access the top selection and price.
