How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage Could Impact You Parts and Equipment

As we begin enjoying summertime, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfortable. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems cool, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as machinery gets fatigued from everyday use. And just as the demand for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to get an unwanted surprise. An international raw materials shortage is causing problems for the HVAC industry, and that means greater wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re wanting to repair your air conditioning system, we suggest doing this immediately. Here’s why. 

Why Is There a Shortage? 

We all know how hard the previous year has been, and it’s taken a toll on the supply chain. Several compounding factors plus COVID-19 have created a global raw materials shortage for multiple industries, which involves HVAC manufacturers. These essential material shortages will impact the accessibility of a lot of household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for many HVAC manufacturers and inventories are beginning to become scarce. 

Why the Shortage Could Impact You 

With less equipment in supply than ever before, more than 125,000 HVAC companies will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who can’t get access to large supply networks may experience unavoidable difficulties getting needed parts for repairs. You might be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to come. 

That’s why we strongly encourage any homeowner who is considering getting a new HVAC unit to do it soon rather than waiting until later in the summer to access the top selection and price.
