Upgrading your heating and cooling system will keep interiors comfortable during heatwaves and cold spells, while boosting property value if you ever sell. Fall is the perfect season to research units and schedule installation. As temperatures are mild in autumn, you won’t need to use the system immediately. You can take time weighing options to ensure you make the best choice. Having the system installed in the fall also boasts the following advantages.  

Why Fall Is Ideal for a New Heating & Cooling System

1. Expert Advice

As many homeowners aren’t familiar with the intricacies of different heating and cooling systems, it can be tough to narrow choices. Because temperatures are mild in fall, fewer people crank the AC system or switch on furnaces. This means HVAC contractors field fewer repair and maintenance requests. With extra time, technicians can answer product questions, provide demonstrations, and perform additional tasks to help you select the right unit. 

2. Lower Heating Costs

Installing a new HVAC system in fall means the appliance will be able to meet the demands of heating your home throughout winter. A new unit won’t experience the same inefficiencies as older equipment, which can keep heating costs low.

Energy Star®-certified gas furnaces are 15% more efficient than standard fixtures. Replacing the current investment could equal up to $85 in yearly energy savings.  

3. Scheduling Flexibility

Because fall is the off-season for HVAC contractors, their schedules are pretty wide open. Technicians will likely be able to fit your installation project in the books for the exact date and time requested. Their schedules will become busier the closer it gets to winter, which is a reason not to delay.
