Supply Chain Delays Change Planning Cycles

Due to the ongoing delays in supply chains across several sectors, we highly recommend planning ahead for any equipment requiring replacement in 2021.

In regular planning cycles, our experts would begin to make plans for heating equipment replacement orders around Labor Day – six to eight weeks before planned installation. Even though we just experienced a record heat wave, there is no better time to start the process of ordering equipment for this year’s boiler or air handling equipment projects.

Various media reports have shared stories about material shortages in construction – from lumber to concrete and roofing materials. At Speer, we’ve seen the lead time to add new E250 vans to our fleet of over 100 vehicles extend from 2-4 weeks to over 6 months and counting!
