How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage May Impact You Parts and Equipment
As we start enjoying summertime, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfortable. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems run, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as parts get worn out from normal use. And just as the demand for repairs is set to culminate 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 needing to repair your air conditioning system, we suggest doing this soon. Here’s why.
Why Is There a Shortage?
We all know how hard the past year has been, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Multiple compounding factors in addition to COVID-19 have led to a global raw materials shortage for multiple companies, including HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the ease of access of lots of household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for many HVAC manufacturers and warehouses are beginning to become depleted.
How Will the Shortage Impact You?
With less equipment in supply than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC distributors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who can’t get access to large supply networks could run into unavoidable problems getting required parts for repairs. You could be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to show up.
That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is considering installing a new HVAC unit to do it shortly to enjoy the best selection and price.
