The Best Time To Buy a New Furnace For Your Home
When Is The Best Time To Buy a New Furnace?
Chicago winters can drop down into below-freezing temperatures. When this happens, you want a fully functional furnace to keep your family and home safe. If it's time to upgrade to a new furnace, you should strategically plan when you'll have it installed by a licensed professional.
Optimal Replacement Time
It's never a good idea to wait until your heating system goes out to replace it with a licensed professional. Rather, it's better to replace it near the end of its lifespan so that you can do so at a time that fits your schedule. The best time of year to schedule a replacement is during the spring or fall months.
Why Replace Your Furnace in the Spring or Fall?
First, you won't need your heating system to run during these times. Therefore, you won't have to worry about being without heat during the replacement process. While most replacements will take only one day, some may take more.
Next, this time of year is perfect for cost savings. Most HVAC installers are trying to get rid of old inventory in the fall, so they'll offer you a discount on their heating systems. Additionally, HVAC system manufacturers in the spring tend to offer discounts on their newest systems. Either way, you can take advantage of lower system costs in the spring and fall months.
Another great reason to consider these two seasons for furnace replacement is that the weather is typically better. It's easier for your HVAC installer to install a new system when not dealing with ice, snow, or heavy rain. Remember that your HVAC system installer will have to physically remove your old system and bring your new system into your basement or other location.
The last reason you should opt for a spring or fall replacement time for your home heating system is that these are the slowest time of year for HVAC professionals. Most people have issues with their heating systems in the winter and cooling systems in the middle of summer. Opting to replace your furnace can lead to longer delay periods and a potentially higher labor price due to increased demand during these busy times.
