If your older furnace barely made it through the winter, don't wait until another heating season is looming before you decide to replace it — do it now. Why should you replace a furnace now? So you can spend a relaxing summer without any worries about having reliable home heating next winter, and because it offers other big benefits like:
Slow Season Discounts
HVAC contractors typically experience a slow period in between the winter heating and summer cooling seasons. They have staff and technicians to keep busy though, so they're willing to offer discounts to homeowners who have new equipment installed during the lull. Not only can you save money buying a new furnace now, but you'll also have an easier time scheduling the work since your contractor isn't booked up and busy.
No Risk of Discomfort
The moderate weather this time of year gives you an opportunity to get your new heating equipment installed without any inconvenience or risk of discomfort. Since your home doesn't need cooling yet either, it's also an ideal time to look into replacing your aging air conditioner with a more efficient model so you can enjoy greater comfort and energy savings this summer.
Greater Budgeting Ease
By making a choice to replace your furnace now instead of having to do so in the middle of the winter if it fails unexpectedly, you have a chance to work the cost into your budget. You can look at different ways to finance the purchase, or you might decide to use your tax refund to help offset the cost.
Ample Time to Compare
Since it's the off-season and you don't have to rush to get new heating equipment installed just to stay warm, you have an opportunity to investigate the latest features. You can learn about EMC motors, variable-speed blowers, multi-stage burners and smart controls, so you make an informed equipment choice in terms of enhanced comfort and efficiency.
