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 machinery gets fatigued from routine use. And just as the need for repairs is set to culminate 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 advise doing this immediately. Here’s why.
We all know how hard 2020 was, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Many compounding factors plus COVID-19 have resulted in a global raw materials shortage for many companies, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the accessibility of a lot of household appliances including washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for a lot of HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to dwindle.
With less equipment in stock than ever before, more than 125,000 HVAC companies will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who don’t have access to big supply networks may run into inevitable problems getting needed 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 installing a new HVAC unit to do it quickly to access the top selection and price.
