As summer approaches, extreme heat is expected to hit states like Texas, but tariffs imposed on imported heating and cooling appliances are driving prices significantly higher. The HVAC industry relies heavily on overseas production, with over $15 billion in AC units imported last year alone. While recent tariff adjustments by the Trump administration aim to ease some burdens, industry experts indicate consumer prices and availability will not stabilize soon, with many facing delays and soaring costs amid rising temperatures.
The U.S. heating and cooling industry is facing a price surge due to tariffs affecting imports, making AC units and heat pumps more expensive this summer.
Experts warn that the dependency on overseas manufacturing, coupled with tariff uncertainties, will lead to prolonged delays and increased costs for consumers.
