If you don’t own an air conditioner or are looking into replacing your current one, you may be wondering what time of year is the best for making such a big purchase. The short answer: spring. While some homeowners assume that peak seasons may offer the deepest discounts, this isn’t always true. Here’s why you should buy your air conditioner in the spring.

Take Advantage of Slower Months

Because so many homeowners wait until the summer months to even book their new air conditioner installation, this time of year can get booked up really quickly. Waiting until the summer may leave you without an air conditioner for a lot longer than you had planned. Call to have your air conditioner installed as early as possible, so you can avoid the rush and be sure that you’ll have adequate cooling for the hot weather.

Get Pre-Season Discounts

Many air conditioner installers and brands alike offer pre-season discounts. Not only can you save money on the installation, but you can save money on the unit itself by purchasing it early in the season.

Give Yourself Time to Shop

If you leave your air conditioner purchase until the last minute, you may not be able to get the unit you want if it’s sold out. Instead, start shopping early and find the right unit for your home and your family. This will give you time to research the size of system you need, whether you want a ductless air conditioner or one with a duct system, and any other bells and whistles you want with your system.

Get the Unit and Specifications You Need

Before getting your air conditioner installed, it’s important to get your home evaluated. This can help determine the size of air conditioner you need, and ensure that the unit you end up with will provide excellent cooling for your whole home. Making an appointment with an installer for this kind of evaluation can also help you determine your options for air conditioning.
