How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage Might Cause Issues for You Parts and Equipment

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 be needing repair or replacement as parts get worn down from routine use. 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 worldwide raw materials shortage is causing issues for 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 advise doing so sooner rather than later. Here’s why. 

What’s Causing the Shortage? 

We all know how difficult the past year has been, and it’s taken a toll on the supply chain. Many compounding factors plus COVID-19 have led to a worldwide raw materials shortage for multiple companies, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These critical material shortages will impact the accessibility of lots of household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has stalled for a lot of HVAC manufacturers and inventories are beginning to become depleted. 

How the Shortage Could Impact You 

With less equipment available than in previous years, more than 125,000 HVAC contractors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors without access to major supply networks might have unpreventable difficulties getting necessary parts for repairs. You may be without A/C for weeks while you wait for parts to come. 

That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is thinking about replacing their HVAC unit to do it shortly to have access to the choice selection and price.
