What’s on your spring to-do list this year? Most homeowners are still making theirs, but some are pausing at the one item they already considered last year, HVAC replacement. Is it finally time? Is it worth risking pushing through with a worn-out unit for another summer?
The answer is most likely no. But besides that, spring is exactly the right time to put AC replacement on your to-do list. Waiting to see if your system will struggle or soar during the first heat wave is just prolonging the inevitable and costing you more than you realize.
Why Is Spring a Good Time for HVAC Replacements?
Timing is one of the most important considerations for home improvement projects. It’s also unfortunately one of the most forgotten-about. Homeowners have a lot on their plates, and it’s not always easy to have the foresight to schedule things at exactly the right time.
However, those who try to get HVAC replacement on their spring schedules will find that HVAC companies are much more available at that time. In a few short months, technicians will be swamped with endless emergency calls.
Scheduling your appointment now ensures you’re beating the heavy traffic, meaning you’ll have more scheduling flexibility.
It’s also the time of year when you’re least likely to experience extreme heat or cold. Most homeowners are relying on opening and closing windows, only turning on their units for the occasional temperature spike or dip. This makes installation easier on both the technicians and everyone else in your home.
Does Investing in a New HVAC System Help You Save Money?
It sounds counterintuitive to spend a lump sum on replacing HVACs and the labor to install them in hopes of saving money. But holding on to an old unit is almost always costing you more in the long run.
New HVAC systems are so much more advanced than older models. Not only do they have higher energy efficiency, thanks to SEER ratings, but they’re also easier to manage and tweak to your comfort preferences. This means lower monthly bills and a much more comfortable home right before the time of year when you’ll most enjoy both.
Older units have a limited life expectancy. There’s a good chance that if you’re looking into an HVAC replacement, your unit’s is running out.
Even if your unit doesn’t give up on you this summer, you’re still more likely to need repairs. That’s money that could otherwise go toward a new system instead of keeping your existing one afloat for a few more months.
