Global supply chain shortages have caused shortages and delays of key materials, parts, resources, equipment, and labor in the HVAC industry.
Currently, the HVAC industry is trying its best to overcome the negative impact of global supply chain shortages that have caused shortages and delays of key materials, parts, resources, equipment, and labor. HVAC contractors are doing all they can to meet demand with a limited supply of HVAC parts and materials by adjusting to our current climate and ensuring that HVAC services, including installations, repairs, and replacement, are being rendered to customers in a timely manner. While we hope that the supply chain crisis will be resolved soon, here are some helpful tips for surviving during this time of uncertainty.
Patience and Communication
The HVAC industry is currently experiencing a shortage of parts, materials, labor, longer repair times, and higher costs. Considering all these factors, patience and communication with your HVAC contractor are key in surviving this crisis. With HVAC companies constantly keeping their customers updated and customers understanding how the delay in parts affects service time and costs, the repair or installation process with your contractor will be a smoother and easier experience for all parties involved.
Maintenance
Maintenance on your HVAC system is more important than ever. Routine maintenance catches minor problems before they become major HVAC repairs or replacements, requiring parts, materials, or equipment in short supply. Routine maintenance ensures that your HVAC’s heating and cooling systems are healthy, up to date, and performing efficiently, prolonging the life of your home’s HVAC system.
Scheduling
You should schedule maintenance, repairs, or checkups on your HVAC system right away. If you notice your HVAC system isn’t running as smoothly as it used to or it’s nearing the end of its service life, calling a contractor ahead of time prevents additional delays in repairs and replacements. The sooner you call, the sooner your HVAC system can be serviced.
