As we begin enjoying the summer, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us cool. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems run, the sooner they’ll be needing repair or replacement as machinery gets worn out from routine operation. And just as the pressure for repairs is set to culminate around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are going to get an unwelcomed surprise. An international raw materials shortage is causing issues 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 recommend doing this soon. Here’s why.
Why Is There a Shortage?
We all know how challenging the past year has been, and it's disrupted the supply chain. Several compounding factors plus COVID-19 have led to a worldwide raw materials shortage for many sectors, including HVAC manufacturers. These essential material shortages will impact the availability of many household appliances including washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for lots of HVAC manufacturers and inventories are beginning to become scarce.
Why the Shortage Could Impact You
With less equipment in stock than previously, more than 125,000 HVAC contractors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors without access to large supply networks might have inevitable problems getting necessary parts for repairs. You may be without A/C for weeks while you wait on parts to be delivered.
That’s why we strongly encourage 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 choice selection and price.
