HVAC supply shortages are causing a delay in service times, consequently impacting consumers in need of HVAC replacements and repair parts.
The HVAC industry is still managing a shortage in parts and labor brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain shortage. HVAC supply chain shortages are causing a delay in service times, consequently impacting consumers in need of HVAC replacements and repair parts. Although supply chain shortages are expected to improve in the future, here are some commonly asked questions about HVAC supply chain shortages.
Why Is There a Parts Delay?
The global COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted manufacturing. It caused many factories that produce HVAC parts and materials to shut down or work at a reduced capacity temporarily. As a result, the global supply chain suffered from a shortage in materials, parts, and equipment, causing a major backload and delay for many industries, including the HVAC Industry.
How Could a Delay on Parts Affect My HVAC Repair?
If your HVAC unit has a repair that requires replacement parts, this may delay your repair time. Due to the global supply chain, many of the materials necessary for making HVAC parts and equipment are in short supply, resulting in a delayed shipment of parts. Waiting times for HVAC parts can fluctuate from weeks to months, causing your system’s repair to take longer than usual.
What Can I Do to Ensure My HVAC System Continues Running Year-Round?
It is important to schedule and perform HVAC maintenance to ensure that your HVAC system continues to run throughout the year during this time of HVAC supply shortages. Routine maintenance is key in prolonging the life of your HVAC system while ensuring that it runs efficiently. It catches minor problems and repairs in your HVAC system before they become major, saving you money on expensive repairs and replacement costs.
