Should You Replace Your Existing Heating System Before The Cold Weather?

Blog

As a general rule, homeowners don't give much thought to their heating system until the cold weather starts to set in. However, if your heating system needs to be replaced, you may find yourself stuck with a higher installation bill or an incredibly chilly home as a result of the high demands of the winter season. Choosing to replace your heating system prior to the colder weather is a wise choice, and here are just a few of the reasons why.

Upgrades to Efficiency

By choosing to start the installation process of your heating system during the summer or fall, you are allowing yourself the time and opportunity to research energy-efficient models. Since you do not need your heating system immediately, you have the time to look into the variety of options that are at your disposal and see how they will impact your comfort levels and utility bills. This can be particularly beneficial if you are considering switching fuels, such as making the switch from oil to natural gas.

Improved Scheduling

Heating installation contractors are not nearly as busy during summer and fall when heating systems are not being used. Therefore, it is far more likely for you to be able to schedule a more convenient time for your installation since the contractors will have increased availability.

More Affordable Costs

When you choose to purchase a brand-new heating system during the spring, summer, or fall, there is a good chance that you will get a better deal on the equipment as well as the labor. Due to the fact that the heating systems are not in high demand during these times of year and there are minimal emergencies that require heating professionals, the prices are typically lower. In addition, you may even be able to get a discounted package deal for equipment and service.

Easier Installation

In the event that the installation of the heating system will require digging pipes and adding new lines for heat pumps and plumbing, the warmer ground during the spring, summer, and/or fall are easier on contractors. If contractors have to dig into the cold, solid ground during the wintertime, it adds to the time and labor of the job, which means you will be paying more.
