How the New Tariffs Will Impact HVAC Costs

Like many other necessities, the HVAC industry is on the brink of major price increases due to the new administration's proposed tariffs on imported equipment and parts. These tariffs, which could add a minimum of 25% to costs, will affect nearly every major HVAC manufacturer—even those with operations in the U.S. That’s because many essential components, like condenser fan motors, thermostats, and refrigerants, are imported.

This means that whether you’re installing a heat pump, furnace, or air conditioner, your future HVAC system could cost significantly more than it does today.

Why You Should Act Now to Lock in Pre-Tariff Pricing

Most global HVAC manufacturers operate out of Canada, Mexico and China, which means we will be affected by these new tariffs and our prices will likely go up. However, you can lock in pre-tariff prices by getting your quote now. 

By locking in your price now, you can avoid:

  • A 25-30% price increase on new HVAC systems
  • Higher labor and material costs due to industry-wide demand spikes
  • Longer wait times as homeowners rush to beat the price hikes

If you’re considering a heat pump upgrade, this is your chance to secure the best pricing before tariffs take effect.
