Trump Elected [Tariffs Coming to Affect the HVAC Industry?]

[@newguy6935]

Problem is, no one is going to be "paying the price" but the people of this country. Just a reminder folks, WE PAY THE TARIFFS, NOT THE COUNTRIES THAT EXPORT TO US.

[@bryanlongshore6198]

So Bidens budgets have increased from 5 to nearly 7 trillion dollars during his presidency.....he raised the corporate tax rate to 28%....this has caused a more than 20% inflation rate since 2020....but none of that has affected the American public who has to pay these bills ???? This is why the Democraps aren't in charge anymore. ..they are stupid...

[@williamcrowley5506]

Not that the maga morons can grasp that fact

[@julielindop3287]

Hmmm... as a decades-long career logistics professional specializing in Customs and trade, I'm commenting on your comment about supporting companies who support US labor. People often overlook the millions of people employed in the logistics industry. Our numbers far exceed the numbers of manufacturing job gains, and many of these roles are high paying and/or union backed. What happens to us if we tip the balance too far the other way? That's not to say there shouldn't be US manufacturing, but the reality is that it costs less to make products using foreign labor. This is why Reagan encouraged the big labor migration of the early 1980s, with the auto sector taking much of their manufacturing offshore. Now, we lack the sophisticated infrastructure, and the investment to bring it back would be significant. Tariffs, in a normal world, are negotiated based on impact to US business. For example, because we want to protect our steel industry, there were already healthy tariffs on steel before 2016, and there were already additional tariffs on China by way of antidumping offset duties and limits on how much steel can be imported. Or....auto makers in the US often utilize triangular trades (parts from the US and overseas shipping to MX for subassembly build, which ships to US plant for auto assembly). The foreign content in the bill of material for the subassembly has to meet value constraints (along with other qualifying elements) if the auto maker is seeking reduced NAFTA tariffs. All of this, for me, means that the Trump tariffs are a bunch of drama meant to bamboozle the typical US consumer. It was working fine...don't mess with it. Last time he did this, he lost us the soybean markets and we are STILL subsidizing farmers as a result.

Just remember the great word: tariffs. The people of the usa will pay the tariffs! Nobody else will pay the tariffs, no one! Enjoy your new president Musk and first lady Trump!

Most of all the parts for Major appliances, HVAC and Cars come from another country.We are never going to have the majority of these parts made in the USA again. Those days are gone forever.

[@andreakotler]

Un less money from the tariff is used to subsidize US Manufacturing then things will be made in the USA again

[@writersquill433]

Note that US soybean farmers were slammed when trump waged tariffs against China in 2018 and China retaliated. Soybean farmers still have not recovered. Tariffs bring consequences.

[@NewHVACGuide]

Do you think all tariffs are bad?

[@writersquill433]

@ yes.

[@Lyndhurst-f1v]

That's true.. China was buying billions of dollars in goods from the U.S. farmers. Now China is buying soy beans from Brazil, corn, and other products from other countries..Congress just gave farmers bailout money in the government funding bill they just passed..

[@thomasrogers9146]

I AM AN AMERICAN BUSINESS MAN MAN WHO HAVE TRAVELLED GLOBALLY AND BEEN TO CHINA. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN COMPANIES OPERATING IN CHINA GROSSING AROUND 480 BILLION DOLLAR ANNUALLY. AMERICAN EXPORTS TO CHINA IS AROUND 150 BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. CHINESE EXPORTS TO THE U.S IS IN DECLINE AS CHINA DECOUPLES FROM THE AMERICAN MARKET.OUR POPULATION IS 336 MILLION PEOPLE WITH A DECLINING MIDDLE CLASS MASSIVE GOVERNMENT AND CONSUMER DEBT AND CHINA IS 1.4 BULLION PEOPLE WILL A RISING MIDDLE CLASS AND 18 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DOMESTIC SAVINGS.. CHINA IS THE WORLDS LARGEST TRADING PARTNER AND CONSUMER MARKET 4X OUR SIZE. CHINA DOES NOT NEED THE AMERICAN MARKET AS MUCH AS WE NEED THE CHINESE MARKET. THIS IS NOT 1980.

You do realize that many of the raw materials required to make these parts does not exist in US! Right?

Trump must sh!t roses in your world.

[@coldking8383]

They have been outsourcing jobs since I was a kid . I remember when Made In The USA was a sign of highest quality. Slowly but surely everything is now manufactured in third world countries. It’s a very complicated issue . Americans fell in love with cheap disposable products . I’ve been a HVACR contractor for going on 47 years now ,and everything from EPA regulations to Chinese chemicals in refrigerants have caused skyrocketing prices. But quality is in the crapper . Tariffs can be good to level the playing field but large conglomerates will continue to look for cheap labor worldwide . Would be better to incentivize manufacturers to return to the USA rather than tariffs / tax …

[@andreakotler]

Unless revenue from the tariff is used to subsidize U.S. manufacturing, production in the USA will not see a resurgence.

[@AnalogueKid2112]

Trump has two choices: impose tariffs and cause inflation to get worse, or go back on his promises in a very obvious way. I really want to see more American manufacturing. Living thru the 2000s where it was non stop closures here in the Midwest was terrible. But I also think of the famous quote: for every complex problem, there is a solution which is clear, simple, and wrong. Tariffs seem to be in that category.

[@znrctrnn]

If those Daikin SD are not made in Texas, they need to start.

[@NewHVACGuide]

They are. I did a video on it 🙂

[@Lyndhurst-f1v]

They are telling people if they plan to purchase any type of appliances to purchase them before January..I just had a new Tempstar furnace installed in early November only because I had to...My old one was 19 1/2 years old. I also just purchased a new GE washer & dryer my old GE dryer broke after 19 1/2 years..Got a good deal on them.. I hope I don't have to purchase anything else, any time soon..

I have Two Honeywell TH8320WF01 Thermostats. They have the following wires: Y2, W2, S1, S2, R + (with RC jumper), W, Y, G, and C. Forced Hot Air, Natural Gas. One Thermostat works the ground Floor, The other works the 2nd floor. The WiFi has died on both of them. (Yes...We have a good WiFi Signal and I know how to connect them). They are old, still working manually (but no WiFi). I would like to replace them. Do you have any suggestions as to what would be good "plug & play" direct Honeywell replacement Thermostats? Your Video are excellent and very helpful!!!! Thanks.

[@larryames8831]

No company is going to invest or manufacture here when an executive order can cause them to lose money. Canada and Mexico skirting around now.

[@andor8635]

Maybe we should make stuff here. No tariffs in us. I’m tired of buying imported products. Trump doing the right. I lost my job from my company going to china.

[@robgrasso9320]

We are in a global economy and manufacturing has been outsourced so the prices we pay are low. You obviously don't understand that or the consequences of voting for trump. You'll find out.

[@HVACMAN-c7v]

On the bright side techs will get better at repairing and retrofitting instead of just selling and installing a “ new system “ 🤷🏼

[@miket5506]

I believe imposing these tariffs will act to force the hand of these companies, who are based here and manufacturing elsewhere, to bring manufacturing back here.

[@KadiddlehopperClem]

No it will not. Even if it did, it would take many YEARS to begin manufacturing!

[@miket5506]

@ HVAC aside, because I do agree with the statement in the video that people will pay no matter what when it comes to that, other products/markets certainly would. These companies, if faced with passing high tariffs to their customers, would see a marked decline in sales. Some to the point of nearing bankruptcy. They’d then be forced to decide: keep using cheap slave labor in china and keep the prices high because of tariffs, OR bring the work back here to avoid the tariffs and keep the price lower for the customers. I personally believe that there should be a 400% tariff on any product that can be made here but is instead being imported and originated overseas. It would drive the prices of imported goods so high that the customers would begin seeking domestic versions. As such, companies manufacturing overseas will see a decline in sales and either move operations back here, or new companies will form and begin making those products domestically, thus phasing-out the need for the previous companies.

[@miket5506]

@@blubu68 when companies started making products in china, did you see our prices for them go down? No; the companies are pocketing the difference. Cost to the consumers wouldn’t change much, if at all, if the products were made here; especially if high tariffs were imposed on imported products. At that point, the domestic product would cost less than foreign and create American jobs.

[@Garth2011]

My guess is that the consumers will be better off. Much of the HVAC is made in Texas so no worries. Tariffs are going to cause products to be made in USA vs. off the boat. Foreign made will likely then manufacture their products here vs there.

[@DennisBuckley-yd6cl]

Quote (Much of the HVAC is made in Texas so no worries) This is a wrong statement.Most of those parts come from another country to put that HVAC to gather!!!

[@Garth2011]

@@DennisBuckley-yd6cl Would be interesting to know where the sheet metal work is being done and the coils etc. My guess is the compressor and caps are Chinese but those will soon be made here in the USA because it will be cheaper than the tariffs.

[@dougjones9493]

​@@Garth2011 maybe cheaper than China parts with tariffs but higher than non tariff parts. Price will go up either way.

[@AJ-ox8xy]

This only helps with assembly. Every part, especially key parts like compressors, heat exchangers, and coils are all made overseas.
