How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage May Impact You Parts and Equipment
As we begin enjoying warm weather, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems cool, the sooner they’ll be needing repair or replacement as components get fatigued from normal operation. And just as the need for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are in for an unwelcomed surprise. An international raw materials shortage is causing problems for the HVAC industry, and that means longer wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re wanting to repair your air conditioning system, we advise doing this immediately. Here’s why.
What’s Causing the Shortage?
We all know how difficult the past year has been, and it’s disrupted the supply chain. Several compounding factors on top of COVID-19 have led to a global raw materials shortage for many sectors, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These critical material shortages will impact the availability of lots of household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has stalled for lots of HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to become scarce.
How Will the Shortage Impact You?
With less equipment in stock than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC distributors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who don’t have access to large supply networks may experience unpreventable issues getting required parts for repairs. You could be without A/C for weeks while you wait for parts to arrive.
That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is thinking over getting a new HVAC unit to do it shortly to access the choice selection and price.
