The pandemic legitimately took a toll on our economy and many of the small corporations in my town did not survive the lockdown.
The pandemic was an unprecedented event that nobody saw coming and some supplier owners were left to fend for themselves.
There was some help from the federal government in the form of a stimulus, however some corporations still suffered grave consequences and had to permanently close their doors. While some corporations did not survive, there were others that thrived and even saw growth during the pandemic. The heating, ventilation, and A/C industry has been steadily growing over the years, however it did see significant growth during the lockdowns. With more people working from home, it meant they were using their heating, ventilation, and A/C units more than before. And as with any equipment, the increased use led to more malfunctions. Not to mention that while in quarantine, the people I was with and I experienced some of our warmest weeks, so a lot of heating, ventilation, and A/C units broke down during that time. Personally, I have an older heating, ventilation, and A/C unit, and sure enough it broke down about three weeks after I began to work from home. The capacitor, which is an electrical component responsible for starting the heating, ventilation, and A/C unit, malfunctioned. Prior to that incident, I had never had an issue with my unit. Turns out that the capacitor is sensitive to heat and will fail from direct sun and if the component is running too hard. So, it was inevitable for that malfunction to happen while I was in the pandemic. Therefore, if my component broke, there were tons of other units that experienced problems during that time. This means prices increased for heating, ventilation, and A/C companies all over the country.
