Impacts of COVID-19 on the HVAC Industry
EFFECTS OF COVID ON HVAC PARTS
Every industry has felt the effects of the coronavirus, and the HVAC industry in particular has been faced with some unique challenges. Without the right supplier to obtain your replacement parts and equipment, the ability to repair or replace your HVAC needs quickly and affordable has become very difficult.
Property management companies and HVAC companies know that fast service is the name of the game for their tenants and customers. But it’s also crucial to protect your bottom line. By accessing Surplus City Liquidators seven warehouses full of quality equipment and parts at rock bottom pricing you are able to deliver both.
HVAC Supply Chain Disruption
No one should be too surprised to learn that some HVAC parts may become harder to find because certain manufacturing plants have shut down. Even as they begin to open their doors again, we might notice that HVAC manufacturers are reducing workflow to respond to social distancing. If you don’t know where to look to find heating and cooling supplies, these types of disruptions to the supply chain can lead to some real setbacks with your own work.
Repair vs Replace HVAC Equipment
As consumers we always want to know we are getting the best deal but that can be difficult if you are not familiar with the HVAC industry. Repairing equipment instead of replacing is sometimes a way to save money however in some instances you are better off spending a little more to get a brand new unit. If the repair bill approaches the $500 mark you should consider replacing and if you are not sure, call us, let us help. We are non-commission sales and are here to assist you in finding the most cost effective way to get your system going.
Building Trust with Better Service
The other shift we’re noticing is a general sense of unease with consumers. Many of us have seen this just shopping at the grocery store. But it can become even more complex for the HVAC industry. The need for open and honest communication is needed more than ever before. As many homeowners may feel weary of having a HVAC technician coming into their home to work, the contractor may be nervous as well. So by letting your customers know that you are employing the latest safety/health standards and well as using PPE will help build trust and ensure future business. Promoting maintenance for air conditioners before the big heat waves hit can help make sure existing systems are working correctly. Avoiding costly repairs or replacements is sure to be top of mind this year.
