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

As we start enjoying warm weather, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfy. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems operate, the sooner they’ll be needing repair or replacement as parts get fatigued from routine use. And just as the need for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to get an unwanted surprise. A worldwide raw materials shortage is impacting 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 immediately. Here’s why. 

Why There’s a Shortage? 

We all know how difficult the previous year has been, and it’s disrupted the supply chain. Several compounding factors plus COVID-19 have created a global raw materials shortage for many companies, including HVAC manufacturers. These essential material shortages will impact the accessibility of many household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for many HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to become scarce. 

Why the Shortage Could Impact You 

With less equipment in supply than ever before, more than 125,000 HVAC distributors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who don’t have access to large supply networks could run into unavoidable issues getting needed parts for repairs. You may be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to be delivered. 

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