How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage May Affect You Parts and Equipment

As we start enjoying warm weather, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems operate, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as components get fatigued from everyday use. And just as the pressure for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to receive an unwelcomed surprise. A worldwide raw materials shortage is impacting the HVAC industry, and that means greater wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re looking to repair your air conditioning system, we suggest doing so sooner rather than later. Here’s why. 

Why There’s a Shortage? 

We all know how challenging the past year has been, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Many compounding factors in addition to COVID-19 have created a worldwide raw materials shortage for many industries, including HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the availability of many household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for many HVAC manufacturers and inventories are beginning to dwindle. 

How Will the Shortage Impact You? 

With less equipment in stock than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC companies will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors without access to big supply networks could have inevitable problems getting needed parts for repairs. You may be without A/C for weeks while you wait for parts to show up. 

That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is thinking over replacing their HVAC unit to do it shortly to get the top selection and price.
