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

As we get started enjoying warmer temperatures, our A/C units work harder than ever to keep us comfy. Unfortunately, the more HVAC systems run, the sooner they’ll need repair or replacement as machinery gets fatigued from routine operation. And just as the need for repairs is set to culminate around mid-summer, thousands of homeowners are in for an unpleasant surprise. A global raw materials shortage is disrupting the HVAC industry, and that means longer wait times for thousands across North America. If you’re needing to repair your air conditioning system, we recommend doing so sooner rather than later. Here’s why. 

Why Is There a Shortage? 

We all know how difficult 2020 was, and it’s impacted the supply chain. Multiple compounding factors in addition to COVID-19 have resulted in a worldwide raw materials shortage for multiple industries, which includes HVAC manufacturers. These critical material shortages will impact the availability of a lot of household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and A/C units. Production has slowed for many HVAC manufacturers and inventories are beginning to become depleted. 

Why the Shortage Could Impact You 

With less equipment in stock than ever before, more than 125,000 HVAC contractors will be impacted. Smaller scale contractors who don’t have access to large supply networks may run into inevitable problems getting required parts for repairs. You might be without A/C for weeks while you wait for parts to show up. 

That’s why we strongly encourage any homeowner who is thinking about installing a new HVAC unit to do it quickly to access the top selection and price.
