Air conditioners are only made to last 10 to 20 years before needing a replacement. Those reaching the end of their life span might start cycling continuously or producing warm air instead of cool. Securing an upgrade, especially in spring, offers several hard-to-beat benefits. Here’s a closer look to help you determine the time for service. 

Why Get a New Air Conditioner This Spring?

1. Avoid the Busy Season

Summer is when homeowners turn on their units and discover hidden issues. This will cause heating and cooling professionals to become busy and have less time to help clients through a full installation. 

Consider setting up a service in the spring rather than waiting weeks in the heat for an appointment. It’s not quite the start of the season, which means they can offer more flexibility. They’ll walk you through the entire process and provide you with the attention that you deserve. 

2. Increase Energy Savings

Air conditioners will use more energy as they continue to age. Waiting to get a replacement will require you to turn the system up to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, especially during the hottest months of the year.

Upgrading in the spring will reduce the amount you spend on utilities. The newer units feature high-tech sensors and quality blowers to ensure every room is consistent. Once the optimal level is reached, they can automatically switch to fan mode, which keeps air circulating and prevents wasting energy from turning the system on and off. 

3. Time for Research

Since it’s several weeks until the summer heat arrives, there’s no rush to make a final decision. Homeowners can take their time exploring the various options and discussing the advantages with their HVAC contractor. This will ensure that it contains features specific to your family’s needs and provides a quality fit for the home.
