Parts shortage leaves some Floridians without A/C for months
Jordan Bowen reports
TAMPA, Fla. - Keeping people cool in the midst of the summer heat has not been easy for Bay Area air conditioning repair companies. A massive nationwide shortage of parts has some people waiting months to get their air conditioner repaired.
For some, beating the Florida heat is harder than ever this summer. Just to think that we have customers that I m not going to be able to guarantee them air. It bothers me, Kenny s Air Conditioning President Joe Castellano said.
As Castellano explains prior to the pandemic – repairs could be done as fast as the same day depending on the part. Now it s taking weeks and even months before manufacturers can send in the needed part.
