How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage Could Affect You: Parts and Equipment
As we begin enjoying warmer temperatures, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems run, the sooner they’ll be needing repair or replacement as machinery gets worn down from everyday cooling. And just as the need for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to receive an unpleasant surprise. A global raw materials shortage is impacting the HVAC industry, and that means extended wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re looking to repair your air conditioning system, we advise doing this immediately. Here’s why.
What's Causing the Shortage?
We all know how challenging 2020 was, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Many compounding factors in addition to COVID-19 have created A global raw materials shortage for numerous companies, which involves HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the availability of a lot of household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for a lot of HVAC manufacturers and warehouses are beginning to dwindle.
How the Shortage Could Impact You
With less equipment in supply than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC contractors will be impacted. Smaller-scale contractors who don't have access to large supply networks could have unpreventable issues getting necessary parts for repairs. You could be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to be delivered.
That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is thinking over installing a new HVAC unit to do it shortly to enjoy the top selection and price.
