How an HVAC Parts and Equipment Shortage Could Impact You Parts and Equipment

As we start enjoying warmer temperatures, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfortable. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems run, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as machinery gets worn down from everyday cooling. And just as the demand for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to receive an unwanted surprise. An international raw materials shortage is disrupting 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 advise doing this soon. Here’s why. 

What’s Causing the Shortage? 

We all know how difficult 2020 was, and it’s taken a toll on the supply chain. Many compounding factors plus COVID-19 have created a global raw materials shortage for many industries, including HVAC manufacturers. These important material shortages will impact the availability of many household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for many 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 distributors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who don’t have access to big supply networks could have unpreventable problems getting necessary parts for repairs. You might be without A/C for weeks while you wait on parts to be delivered. 

That’s why we strongly encourage any homeowner who is considering installing a new HVAC unit to do it shortly to enjoy the best selection and price.
