With global supply chain issues, planning your chiller needs for summer 2025 can’t wait.
Imagine a scorching summer day. Your building’s chilled water system fails, leaving occupants sweltering and productivity plummeting. This nightmare scenario can become reality if you wait until 2025 to replace your aging chiller. Here’s why you need to take action now:
The Chiller Lead Time Challenge: 40 Weeks and Counting
The global supply chain continues to experience significant disruptions, impacting the availability of HVAC equipment. Lead times for chilled water systems have skyrocketed to a staggering 40 weeks.
Waiting until next year to address your chiller needs is a gamble you can’t afford to take. Here’s what could happen:
- Summer Meltdown: A chiller failure during peak summer temperatures can be disastrous. With extended lead times, securing a replacement in time becomes nearly impossible, leaving you with a non-functional cooling system.
- The Rental Gamble: While rentals are technically an option to bridge the gap, they come with significant drawbacks. Rental chillers may not perfectly match your building’s cooling capacity, potentially leading to inefficiencies or inadequate cooling, especially during peak heat waves. Additionally, rental costs can add up quickly, especially during periods of high demand.
- Reactive Scramble: Emergency replacements are often more expensive, with limited. You may have to settle for a less efficient chiller or face exorbitant costs for expedited service.
