As spring approaches and outdoor temperatures continue to rise, HVAC usage within homes and buildings will increase, resulting in the need for HVAC maintenance, repairs, and in some instances, replacements.
HVAC systems play a significant role in creating and maintaining our indoor comfort levels, especially during winter and summer when the weather can become increasingly cool or hot. However, with global supply chain shortages, the HVAC industry is experiencing shortages, delays, and restrictions in essential parts, materials, and equipment, causing increased service costs and extended service times. As spring approaches and outdoor temperatures continue to rise, HVAC usage within homes and buildings will increase, resulting in the need for HVAC maintenance, repairs, and in some instances, replacements. Continue reading to understand the importance of scheduling your HVAC services and repairs ahead of time during HVAC supply shortages.
Shortage on Parts
Global supply chain shortages have played a significant role in HVAC supply shortages. Many of the parts, equipment, and raw materials necessary for making, repairing, and transporting HVACs are in high demand but short supply. So, unfortunately, consumers in need of HVAC repairs and replacements have to wait weeks and sometimes months for specific parts and equipment to arrive in stock before their home’s HVAC can be repaired or replaced. However, to combat these issues, it’s recommended that you schedule HVAC services and repairs right away and continue upkeeping your HVAC system with routine maintenance to ensure that it continues to function efficiently during these times of supply and labor shortages.
Extended Service Times
Along with shortages in parts, the HVAC industry is also experiencing a shortage in labor, which has resulted in extended service times. However, many HVAC companies, like Crockett Facilities, have been working hard to ensure quality customer service and accommodate the needs of consumers with a lack of workforce. Communication between HVAC contractors and consumers is key during these times. It’s also important to schedule HVAC maintenance, HVAC repairs, and HVAC installations ahead of time to ensure your HVAC system is serviced as soon as possible.
