Research from Construction Leadership Council working group concludes that technologies such as boilers and air-source heat pumps may be hit by a shortage of semi-conductors
A shortage of semi-conductors linked to ongoing supply challenges in the UK could risk constraining the availability of boilers at a time of high demand, construction experts warn.
A joint industry statement published by the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has warned that the limited availability of semi-conductors used in boilers and other heating systems risked being prioritised by other sectors.
Builders Merchants Federation chief executive John Newcomb and his Construction Products Association counterpart Peter Caplehorn said there were concerns about how the semi-conductor shortage may impact the cost and supply of heating and other building engineering systems.
