You know your air conditioner is old. You feel lucky that it’s made it this long. If you can just get it past the next few weeks, you’ll survive another summer. You’ll succeed in putting off the problem for another year. But should you? Maybe you should replace it now when the selection is strong, the installation crews are at the top of their game, and the savings are better than any other time.
Air conditioning is a seasonal business. Every spring, air conditioning manufacturers and contractors gear up for another season. Every year it’s the same. The first few months are filled with pre-season maintenance and replacements of old air conditioners before the hot weather hits. Once the hot weather hits, it’s chaos. In the first few weeks of hot weather, old air conditioners fail left and right. Air conditioning companies scramble to meet all of the service calls, fix all of the old air conditioners, and replace the air conditioners that cannot be fixed.
By August, the air conditioning season is wearing down. Manufacturers are thinking ahead to heating season. Equipment distributors are trying to clear out their inventory. Since inventory and installers are readily available, August – September is a great time to replace.
Why not wait? In a few weeks, air conditioning inventory levels will be low across the industry. Except for builder models, manufacturers and distributors will be clearing out their inventory to make room for furnaces. Buy now and get exactly what you want. If you wait until next year, it will cost more. Manufacturers usually push through price increases at the start of the year.
Sometimes The Most Expensive Air Conditioners Are The Lowest Priced
The difference between a good system and a bad one is the installation. And there’s a world of difference between the quality of one air conditioning installation and the next. It’s often subtle things that make a difference. These are things most homeowners will never notice, or even know to look for.
Did the contractor replace or properly clean contaminants out of the refrigerant line set? Did he install a filter-drier to protect the compressor? Is the condensing unit leveled so that the fan motor will operate more efficiently? Did he measure the external static pressure to keep it within the air handler specifications? Are the duct transitions properly mated to seal hot attic air from your system? Did he select a factory matched indoor coil to give you the energy efficiency you’ve paid for? Yes, there’s even more.
