As we start enjoying summertime, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfy. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems cool, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as components get worn out from routine use. And just as the demand for repairs is set to be at its highest around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to receive an unpleasant surprise. An international raw materials shortage is causing problems for 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.
We all know how hard 2020 was, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Many compounding factors plus COVID-19 have created a global raw materials shortage for many industries, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the accessibility of a lot of household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has stalled for a lot of HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to become scarce.
With less equipment in supply than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC contractors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who can’t get access to major supply networks may run into inevitable problems getting necessary parts for repairs. You may be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to come.
That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is considering getting a new HVAC unit to do it quickly to access the best selection and price.
