When it comes to investing in a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the best time to do so is at the start of spring or fall. This is because local HVAC service companies have more time to dedicate to helping you find the best deal with the key features you want. Before you decide to replace your air conditioning unit, there are several factors to consider. It's important to be aware of warning signs that your system is nearing the end of its useful life, such as if it's more than 15 years old, isn't heating or cooling like it used to, and isn't as energy efficient as it used to be.
If you're tackling a home renovation project, it's the perfect time to consider replacing your HVAC system. This is also the ideal opportunity to investigate more energy efficient options, such as a system with a higher SEER rating, or upgrade to a zoned system or a programmable thermostat. If you're buying a formerly owned home, it's advisable to inspect the HVAC unit when buying a home, especially if it is an older home. Most people have been led to believe that the best time to buy an air conditioner is during the winter and the best time to buy a heating system is during the summer.
However, this isn't necessarily true. The best thing to do is contact your trusted local HVAC service company for advice on when and how to purchase a new HVAC system.
