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

As we begin enjoying the summer, 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 out from everyday use. And just as the need for repairs is set to peak around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to get an unpleasant surprise. An international raw materials shortage is disrupting 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 recommend doing this immediately. Here’s why. 

Why There’s a Shortage? 

We all know how challenging the past year has been, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Multiple compounding factors on top of COVID-19 have led to an international raw materials shortage for numerous companies, including HVAC manufacturers. These crucial material shortages will impact the availability of a lot of household appliances including washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for many HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to become scarce. 

How the Shortage Could Impact You 

With less equipment available than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC distributors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who don’t have access to major supply networks may run into inevitable problems getting needed parts for repairs. You might be without A/C for weeks while you wait on parts to show up. 

That’s why we strongly suggest any homeowner who is thinking about replacing their HVAC unit to do it soon rather than waiting until later in the summer to have access to the top selection and price.
