How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage Might Affect You Parts and Equipment
As we get started enjoying the summer, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfortable. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems operate, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as components get worn down from normal cooling. And just as the need for repairs is set to culminate around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to receive an unpleasant surprise. A worldwide raw materials shortage is causing issues for the HVAC industry, and that means longer wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re needing to repair your air conditioning system, we advise doing so sooner rather than later. Here’s why.
What’s Causing the Shortage?
We all know how difficult 2020 was, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Many compounding factors on top of COVID-19 have resulted in a global raw materials shortage for multiple companies, including HVAC manufacturers. These critical material shortages will impact the availability of lots of household appliances including washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for lots of HVAC manufacturers and warehouses are beginning to become depleted.
Why the Shortage Could Impact You
With less equipment in stock than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC companies will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who can’t get access to major supply networks might run into unpreventable issues getting necessary parts for repairs. You may be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to arrive.
That’s why we strongly encourage any homeowner who is considering replacing their HVAC unit to do it shortly to access the best selection and price.
