Have you had to rent a car in the last few months? How about buying a new or used car? Bought any lumber for a new house or remodeling project? In each one of those cases there’s a good chance you have been shocked by a combination of huge price increases and product shortages. I will let you do your own research about the reasons why, but the COVID19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in the supply chain.
THINGS ARE NO DIFFERENT FOR US
Climate Control Company wants you to know the same problems are commonplace in the world of HVAC. It has been extremely difficult to get timely deliveries on new equipment because of HVAC shortages. In some cases, it means being put on a manufacturer’s waiting list and that clearly can delay an installation in your Glenwood Springs, Aspen, or Vail, CO home.
TIGHT SUPPLY MEANS HIGHER PRICES
This is the result almost every time there is a supply chain disruption. It’s the way our economic system works. When there is a shortage of a product or commodity the price goes up. Experts are saying the furnace and AC shortage could cause a price increase of up to eight percent in the next few months.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
The best way to deal with this situation is to plan ahead. If you even THINK you might need a new HVAC system in the next few months don’t wait. Call Climate Control so we can give you an accurate assessment of your situation. If a new system is called for, now is the time to schedule the job and get your name on a waiting list. What’s the worst that can happen? You replace your HVAC equipment a few months early? Isn’t that better than being without heating or cooling for weeks in your Glenwood Springs, Aspen, or Vail, CO home because of the HVAC shortage?
STAYING ON TOP OF THE SITUATION
I want to assure you that Climate Control Company is in constant contact with our suppliers and other organizations within the HVAC industry. Our goal is to provide you with the best and more accurate information possible by following any new developments in the weeks and months ahead. Sharing that information with you allows you to make informed decisions about the HVAC shortages and how they can affect you.
