Tariffs Impact on HVAC Equipment

Why Are HVAC Prices Increasing?

The proposed tariffs primarily affect steel, aluminum, and key electronic components, all of which are critical for manufacturing furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps. As production costs rise, manufacturers will pass these increases down the supply chain, resulting in higher prices for distributors, contractors, and ultimately, consumers.

1. Rising Costs of Steel and Aluminum

Steel and aluminum are essential materials used in HVAC systems for:
✔ Heat exchangers in furnaces
✔ Ductwork and vents
✔ Unit casings for air conditioners and heat pumps

With the 25% tariff, HVAC manufacturers will pay significantly more for these raw materials, leading to an estimated 15-30% price increase on new HVAC systems.

👉 Industry experts predict that even minor repairs involving metal components could become more expensive due to increased material costs.

2. Increased Prices for Electronic Components

Modern HVAC systems rely on imported electronic components like:
✔ Circuit boards
✔ Smart thermostats
✔ Sensors and controllers

These parts are often sourced from China and Mexico, both of which have been affected by U.S. import tariffs. With increased costs on electronic components, high-efficiency systems with smart features may see price hikes of 20-40% in the coming months.

3. Higher Costs for Refrigerants and Parts

Refrigerant prices have already been rising due to environmental regulations, and new tariffs will exacerbate the issue. Homeowners with older A/C units that use phased-out refrigerants may find that repairs and refrigerant refills become even more costly.

🔹 If your air conditioner is 10+ years old, now might be the best time to upgrade before prices increase further!

4. Supply Chain Delays & Inventory Shortages

With manufacturers scrambling to adjust to higher costs, supply chain disruptions are inevitable. As a result:
✔ Popular HVAC models may sell out faster
✔ Lead times on installations could increase
✔ Homeowners may have fewer options when choosing a new system

🔹 What This Means for You: If you’re considering upgrading, buying sooner rather than later ensures you secure the equipment you need before stock runs out or prices surge.

What Can Homeowners Do?

✅ Upgrade Before the Price Increases – Lock in today’s prices before tariffs take full effect.
✅ Take Advantage of Rebates & Discounts – Many government rebates and manufacturer promotions are still available but may not last.
✅ Consider Financing Options – Many HVAC companies, including Econoair, offer flexible financing to make upgrading more affordable.

1. How much will HVAC prices increase due to tariffs?

Tariffs on steel, aluminum, and electronic components could cause HVAC equipment prices to rise by 20-40%, making new systems significantly more expensive.

4. Are there any rebates available before tariffs impact HVAC costs?

Yes! There are still government rebates on HVAC systems, but these may be reduced or eliminated as tariffs drive up costs. Upgrading sooner ensures you maximize savings.
