Is there a best time of the year to replace my home AC system?
If you are flexible when it comes to replacing your home AC system, then you can save hundreds maybe thousands of dollars by picking just the right time of year when purchasing you new HVAC system.
So what are some things to consider when deciding to replace your AC system?
We wrote a blog article awhile back about deciding between repairing and replacing your HVAC system. When it comes to replacing your AC, it comes down to a few things to consider. The age of your HVAC system. The average serviceable life of an AC system around Spring, Texas is around 12-15 years. If you notice that you are needing more repairs and the parts are getting harder to find. This is probably also due to age. Lastly, your electric bill may be getting higher and higher since your old AC has to work harder. Either way, take a look at our article about how to decide. This post is about the best time to buy one if you are looking.
The HVAC business is seasonal
Although HVAC companies like us do air conditioning, heating and indoor air quality, the biggest bulk of our business is done during the hot months and the Spring/Woodlands area has its share of hot months. During these hot months, we are very busy repairing and replacing AC systems as they begin to work harder to cool homes. HVAC manufacturers are under no pressure to sell units because there is a high demand for them. So if your HVAC system is getting old and other conditions have you considering replacement, look at the spring or fall time to replace your HVAC system. In the Spring Texas area a good time to look to replacing your AC system is between November and March of the following year.
