Everything You Should Know About Heat Pumps
Learn Why Fall Is The Best Time To Replace Your A/C System
Jessica Jimenez
Air conditioning is an absolute necessity in most U.S. homes, which makes a new unit one of the best investments you can make in your home. However, deciding when to make that investment can seem challenging. Despite having 365 days — and an extra day on leap years — to make that decision, there are only a few times during the year when an A/C replacement makes sense.
As you look forward to the falling leaves of autumn, read on and learn why this particular time of year is a good time to invest in a new A/C system.
Better Availability
Ever notice how hard it is sometimes to book A/C service during the late spring and summer? These months are a peak time for cooling — and a time when most technicians are booked solid. The wait for an A/C installation during the height of the cooling season can span days or even weeks.
In comparison, the fall months are a bit less hectic due to a lower demand for emergency A/C repairs. Thanks to wider seasonal availability, you'll have a better chance of successfully booking an appointment with your HVAC technician.
Better Selection
If you're having a new A/C system installed during the summer, chances are you need a new unit right away. That urgency, combined with faster inventory turnover, can lead to slim pickings when it comes to A/C system choice. You won't have much time to mull over your choices, especially when A/C units are flying off the showroom floor due to seasonal demand.
A fall installation not only gives you more choices, but you'll also have more time to research and consider your pick.
Bigger Savings
Lower demand for new A/C systems during the fall also means a lower price sticker on current A/C models. Manufacturers and HVAC contractors will usually make room for the latest A/C models by clearing out old stock with deep discounts. The result is a golden opportunity to snag the system your home needs for a drastic discount.
Combined with available local and federal tax credits, you won't have to pay much for a brand-new A/C system.
Better Peace of Mind
The last thing you want on your mind is to worry over whether your A/C system can survive the next summer. If your current A/C system already has a hard time keeping up with your home's cooling demands, investing in a new A/C unit this fall can help put those worries to rest.

Hello. My name is Josiah. I am a 44-year-old married dad of three. I work in the automotive industry and love what I do. Recently, my heating and cooling unit stopped working. I did a lot of research on what type of heating element I should install in my home. I wanted something energy efficient, yet reliable and lasting. After a lot of research, I settled on a heat pump. A heat pump is a great heating and cooling element that many people don't yet know about. I created this blog to help educate other people on heat pumps and answer questions related to it. If you need a new heating or cooling device for your home, I hope my website helps explain to you what a heat pump is and how it can be beneficial.
