When Is The Best Time To Buy a New Furnace?

When the wintertime chill hits, many homeowners rely on the comfort of a great-working furnace to stay warm and toasty. If your furnace needs to be upgraded or you're considering adding one to your home, there are ideal times to do so.

Cost-Effective Planned Replacement

Depending on the manufacturer's data, most furnaces will last between 15 and 25 years. If your furnace is near the end of its lifespan, you should consider replacing it sooner rather than later. Waiting until your furnace kicks the bucket in the dead of winter is not a cost-effective option. It will cost significantly more to have an emergency replacement performed than a planned one. The ideal time for a planned replacement is during the spring when demand is low.

Warmer Weather is Ideal

When it comes to having your furnace replaced, it may take a day or more to do so. Think about your needs during this time. Do you want to be without heat during the wintertime? The best time to schedule a new furnace installation is during the warmer months of the year when you can comfortably go days without heat.

Fewer HVAC Service Demands

Trying to schedule a new furnace replacement can be difficult during times of high demand. During the dead of winter and the scorching hotness of summer, HVAC professionals are in high demand to fix problems with furnaces and air conditioners. You're better off scheduling your furnace installation appointment when HVAC professionals are in low demand.

Plan to Take Advantage of Discounts

There are two main times of the year when furnaces can be bought for a hefty discount. During the spring months, the previous year's furnaces will sell at a discounted price. Those who have them in stock need to clear out room for the current year's models that are coming available. This leads them to give you a nice discount to take the furnace off their hands.

Additionally, furnace manufacturers make many sales on new items in the fall season. They will offer stark discounts to get homeowners to invest in their system over their competitors. Again, this is an ideal time to invest in a new furnace at a discounted price.
