As the spread of coronavirus continues many businesses are beginning to feel the impact. Global supply chains have been deeply affected and are predicted to worsen in the coming weeks. Reports on how the pandemic is affecting manufacturing and supply around the world are increasing every day.

The HVAC and refrigeration industries are beginning to feel the early effects of the virus as many manufacturers and distributors rely on parts from overseas. The companies that are most vulnerable are ones relying on parts and materials from China. Many companies are reporting delayed or canceled shipments of parts affecting their ability to produce finished products. And, the trickle down effect is being felt industry wide.

Luckily Specialty Coils’ supply chain has not yet seen the negative effects of the coronavirus. All of our materials are sourced from American mills and suppliers giving us the ability to keep production moving as scheduled. We know many companies will feel the impact of the virus and will be looking for solutions to supply concerns. With raw materials stocked in-house we are able to keep production going and meet increased demand.

We understand the severity of this situation and continue to monitor the news and reports as the come out. While we plan to continue operations, we will be taking every precaution necessary and continue to monitor our facility and staff. We know these are unusual circumstances and we hope that everyone takes the proper precautions and remains safe.

Here at Specialty Coils, we have a lot of loyal customers that trust us with their replacement coils. We know that when an HVAC unit goes down because of a leaking or damaged coil, you need your replacement coil ASAP. We are dedicated to being the best coil manufacturer in the business.

We recently assisted one of our Colorado customers with an urgent situation, who wrote:

“Specialty Coils really helped us out of a jam with one of our customers. As a commercial HVAC coil provider, we needed to find a replacement coil fast. Carrier gave us a 6-week lead time on a replacement condenser coil which was way too long. Specialty Coils was able to build the exact same condenser coil in one week for a better price. I also had the option of using higher quality materials and having it coated to extend the life of the coil for our customer.“

We want to hear from you. What are your experiences with Specialty Coils? Help us be your number one coil supplier.

Back to work for the first week of the new year we came across a job that we don’t see every day but is fairly common nonetheless. One of our team members was called out to take a look at a couple of evaporator coils that were cooling three separate wine cellars. Three cellars that were chilling hundreds of thousands of dollars of wine!

The units used to chill the cellars were not all that old but the coils were beginning to fail due to the high level of stress they are put through. See, these coils don’t have a 9-5 job, they are working 24/7 – 365 to make sure the cellars stay at a constant temperature.

The long work hours combined with the harsh environment lead these coils to deteriorate much faster than your typical application.

We were able to provide the customer with a quick quote that will save them thousands over replacing the entire unit.

With the weather changing and temperatures across the country plummeting, your coils are at risk! When the temperature drops below freezing your coils are at a higher risk of freezing and eventually bursting. Freezing water in the capillary tubes will expand causing the tubes to rupture. Once this occurs your coil is no good and needs to be replaced.
