As we start 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 worn out from normal cooling. And just as the pressure for repairs is set to be at its highest around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to get an unwelcomed surprise. A global raw materials shortage is impacting the HVAC industry, and that means longer wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re needing to repair your air conditioning system, we recommend doing this immediately. Here’s why.
Why Is There a Shortage?
We all know how difficult the previous year has been, and it's impacted the supply chain. Multiple compounding factors on top of COVID-19 have created an international raw materials shortage for multiple sectors, which involves HVAC manufacturers. These critical material shortages will impact the accessibility of lots of household appliances including washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for lots of HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to become depleted.
How Will the Shortage Impact You?
With less equipment in supply than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC companies will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors without access to big supply networks may have unpreventable issues getting needed 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 about installing a new HVAC unit to do it quickly to get the top selection and price.
