Replace Air Conditioner in the Fall

Replace Air Conditioner in the Fall

Replacing your gas furnace? You may want to think about replacing that air conditioner while you’re at it.

Plan ahead and replace your air conditioner in the fall rather than the spring

Earlier this week, we explored what you should know when you replace your gas furnace. But, did you know that it can also be a good idea to replace your air conditioner while you’re at it? Planning ahead is always best practice – particularly when it comes to home comfort. You don’t want to be “left in the heat” without an air conditioner when spring and summer roll around.

Here are a few reasons why the fall can be the ideal time to replace your air conditioner.

  • Not in use. For most areas of the country, your air conditioner is not being used during the fall. It’s better to go ahead and replace that old system before it’s needed. This way, you won’t have any days where you’re suffering without air conditioning.Replace your air conditioner when its not being used to avoid gaps in cooling your home
  • Matched systems. For those of you who are replacing your gas furnace, it’s a good idea to look at your cooling equipment anyway. Indoor and outdoor components of a split system must be matched in order to enjoy the best efficiency and performance possible.
  • Deals! Because fewer air conditioners are installed during the fall, you may find that you can get a deal through your contractor on a brand-new air conditioner. HOWEVER, make sure you talk to your local HVAC contractor and make sure this is the case. Get a few quotes to be sure you are getting a good combination of quality and affordability.

Are you going to replace your air conditioner any time soon?

    My husband and I have been wanting to replace our HVAC system, actually. Our house is always just a little too warm or a little too cold. I think we could fix it with a better system. I didn’t know that fewer air conditioners were installed during the fall! I would totally be willing to wait for fall if it meant saving a bit of money.

    Another good option would be to regularly inspect and maintain the unit. If you do that regularly then there shouldn’t be any problems that arise. That way you know the unit is working during the fall and winter months. Then you won’t have to worry about the heater going out on you when it is freezing!
