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

As we get started enjoying warmer temperatures, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems run, the sooner they’ll require repair or replacement as components get fatigued from routine cooling. And just as the need 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 problems for the HVAC industry, and that means extended wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re looking to repair your air conditioning system, we suggest doing this immediately. Here’s why. 

Why Is There a Shortage? 

We all know how difficult the previous year has been, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Several compounding factors on top of COVID-19 have led to a worldwide raw materials shortage for many industries, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These essential material shortages will impact the availability of lots of household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has ceased for lots of HVAC manufacturers and stock is beginning to become scarce. 

How Will the Shortage 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 large supply networks might run into unavoidable issues getting necessary parts for repairs. You might be without A/C for weeks while you are waiting for parts to come. 

That’s why we strongly advise any homeowner who is thinking about replacing their HVAC unit to do it quickly to enjoy the best selection and price.
