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

As we start enjoying summertime, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems cool, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as components get worn out from routine use. And just as the pressure for repairs is set to culminate around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to get an unwelcomed surprise. A worldwide 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 suggest doing this immediately. Here’s why. 

Why Is There a Shortage? 

We all know how hard the previous year has been, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Several compounding factors plus COVID-19 have led to an international raw materials shortage for many industries, which involves HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the accessibility of a lot of household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for a lot of HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to dwindle. 

How Will the Shortage Impact You? 

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 large supply networks may experience inevitable problems getting required 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 thinking over replacing their HVAC unit to do it quickly to access the choice selection and price.
