How the Economy Affects Plumbing & HVAC Prices — and How Fixy Helps You Save
Wondering why your water heater, AC unit, or plumbing project seems more expensive these days? You’re not alone. From inflation and tariffs to supply chain hiccups — a lot impacts how much you pay. But Fixy’s Fast. Fixy’s Friendly. And we’re fighting back to save Wichita homeowners money.
Why Costs Keep Rising
- Consumer Price Index (CPI): When the CPI goes up, so does the cost of parts & labor.
- Tariffs: New taxes on imported copper, iron, or refrigerants increase material costs.Read ACHR’s full report here.
- Government Policies: New rules for efficiency and refrigerants are good for the planet, but cost more up front.
High Interest Rates
Higher rates make it pricier for companies to buy trucks & tools. For homeowners, it means bigger payments if you finance. Waiting often means paying more later. Fix it now — Fixy makes it easier.
