If your home’s air conditioner is getting older and you’re concerned that it may not last through next year’s cooling season, you have a decision to make about when to replace it. Rather than putting off the installation until the spring, there are some distinct advantages to scheduling your A/C replacement this winter, including:
Greater Timing Flexibility
Spring, summer and fall are usually hectic for local HVAC professionals, and their schedules are filled with equipment maintenance, repairs and installations. Winter is typically the industry’s slowest season, so you’ll find it faster and easier to schedule an installation, and you can set a time that meshes perfectly with your family’s routine and prior commitments.
Energy Savings All Season
When you have an efficient new air conditioner installed over the winter, you’ll be able to start using it as soon as the warm weather arrives in the spring. This will give you the benefit of season-long energy savings next year, and lower utility bills.
Potential Equipment Cost Savings
When their business slows down a bit over the winter, local HVAC contractors are more inclined to give deals and discounts on new equipment installations. By scheduling your replacement this time of year, you could potentially spend less on the upfront cost in addition to future energy savings.
Less Inconvenience and Discomfort
If you leave your old A/C in place, there’s a greater chance that it might fail next summer at the height of the cooling season. Having a new one installed this winter can allow you to avoid the inconvenience and discomfort of going without cooling when you need it most.
Lots of Time for Comparisons
When you plan your A/C installation in advance, you have lots of time to comparison shop for the ideal equipment. You can consider beneficial advanced features, such as smart controls, variable-speed air handlers and two-stage compressors. You can also weigh upfront cost vs. Potential lifetime energy savings by comparing models at various price points and SEER ratings.
