Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum Equal Higher Prices for You

It’s almost May! Another beautiful, but hot summer is just around the corner. Your air conditioner is waiting patiently to be turned on and not turned off until October. The last few years you noticed your air conditioning system was not working as efficiently as it could be; but you’ve been waiting to replace that old inefficient air conditioning unit. Well, it’s time to STOP waiting!

Tariffs Equal Higher Prices

In the past few weeks, HVAC Contractors from all around the country were startled to be told that prices are expected to increase on all air conditioning units by as much as twenty percent...YES, that’s 20%!

How can this be possible?

Product suppliers are telling their contractors to expect an increase anywhere from 5% to 20% on ALL new air conditioning units because the increase is already in the pipeline. We have already seen some price increases and more are on the way. These price increases are based on early data being shared about the recently implemented tariffs on steel and aluminum.


What is a tariff?

Okay, it you didn’t pay close attention to your social studies teacher in middle school, you may not remember what a tariff does. In simple terms, a tariff is a tax. A tariff is an economic tool used by a governing body to add a cost to an imported good (a product) to control the amount of these goods (or products) being imported into the country.


But tariffs don’t affect me!

Oh contraire...if you buy a product made from steel or aluminum purchased in another country, you could pay more for that product starting in May of 2018! This product does not need to be manufactured in another country, just the steel or aluminum used to make it; increases in one metal put pressure on other metals as manufacturers consider alternatives so we’ve been told there will be increases in copper too. The product could be made right here in the good old USA, but the steel, aluminum or copper may be imported from another country, thus raising the overall cost of the product. So YES, tariffs do affect you…


But Wait...Comfort Bob has a solution!

The minute Comfort Bob heard his product supplier talk about the cost of new air conditioning units increasing by as much as 20% starting May 1st, 2018, he put his thinking cap on and outlined a plan to save you money! So if you know what you need to replace or have an idea of what a new installation will require, Comfort Bob is offering a BUY NOW - INSTALL LATER PLAN...here’s how it works!


Buy Now - Install Later!

If you have an estimate you’ve been holding onto, or you know what you need replaced, you can purchase the air conditioning unit now and install it later. This offer could save you serious money. On an average air conditioning unit, this could be a savings of about $500.00. With this offer, you get:

  • Pre-Season / Pre-Tariff Pricing
  • FREE Storage Until Installation (up to 60 days)
  • Long-Term Interest Free Financing (for qualified buyers)
  • Reliable Comfort for Years To Come


Must Lock-In Price BEFORE May 1st!

Unfortunately, the newly implemented tariffs on steel and aluminum will begin affecting product pricing as soon as May 1st, 2018; therefore you need to act now because the timing is out of our control!

If you want to take advantage of these amazing pre-tariff savings, you need to schedule a consultation with one of our comfort specialists to determine exactly what you need installed and how much you will save. Remember, you just need to lock in your purchase now, we can install your new air conditioning unit when you are ready to experience a higher level of comfort in your home.
