If your furnace is getting up there in years, and the repair costs are going up substantially, it's time to have it replaced. The last thing you want to do is wait until it completely fails you. Chances are good that it will go out in the middle of winter if you wait to long for a replacement. That will leave you scrambling for a new furnace. Here are four reasons why spring is the perfect time to schedule a furnace replacement.
1. You Can Enjoy Slow Season Discounts
If you need to have your furnace replaced, it's best to wait until you can get some discounts, which is usually right around the time that the temperatures start to warm up a bit. Furnace repair technicians aren't as busy with the winter repairs, which means you'll reap the benefits of lower replacement costs, and a wide open schedule.
2. You Won't Miss the Warmth for a few Days
If the time has come to replace your furnace, you want to make sure you're not going to need it for a few days. After all, you'll be without a furnace while they remove the old one and install the new unit. During the winter, you can't afford to be without your furnace, for more than a couple of hours. However, during the spring, you're not dependent on the warm air, which means you can go without the furnace while the technicians install your new one.
3. You're Expecting a Tax Refund
If you're one of the many Americans who will be enjoying a tax refund this year, now's the time to schedule your furnace replacement. Replacing a furnace can be a costly venture. Using your tax refund is a great way to get a new furnace without taking a bite out of your household budget.
4. You Can Have Your AC Serviced at the Same Time
If it's time for a new furnace, chances are good that your air conditioner might be getting up there in years too. If it is, you'll want to have it inspected and serviced before summer arrives. When you have your furnace replaced during the spring, you can have your air conditioner serviced at the same time. If it's in need of replacement, you may be able to get a discount when you have both systems replaced at the same time.
Don't get left in the cold next winter. Now that spring will be here in a couple of months, it's time to start planning for your new furnace. Contact an HVAC company near you to schedule an appointment.
