5 Signs It’s Time To Replace Your AC Unit This Spring

04/15/24

Summer is mere weeks away, and now is the right time to replace your old air conditioner with a modern, energy-efficient system you can rely on to keep you cool when the weather heats up. When your old air conditioner begins to cost more in repairs than it’s worth, and when calls for repairs to Caffi Services become increasingly frequent, it’s the right time to consider replacing your old system before a critical malfunction results in a complete system failure.

We offer a number of top-rated systems from leading manufacturers and will help you find the best system for your desired comfort and budget.

Reasons Why Spring Is the Best Time To Replace Your Central Air Conditioner

Avoid the Peak Demand Season of Summer

Spring is the best time to replace your air conditioner for many reasons. For starters, it’s not as busy, which means you won’t have to complete emergency air conditioner repair calls and priority maintenance appointments when scheduling an appointment for air conditioner installation in Northern Virginia.

It’s also ideal because you won’t have to endure the discomfort of replacing your system on a hot day when temperatures are well above comfortable. Equally as important, the sooner you begin researching and exploring your options, the longer you will have to carefully consider critical factors, including brand reputation, features/functions, and warranty coverage.

Test Out Your New AC Unit in Comfortable Temperatures

A properly sized air conditioner will keep your home cool and comfortable throughout the hottest weather. However, as with any new appliance, it will take some time for you to get used to the functions, features, and performance capabilities of your new system. It’s simply easier to test the functions and performance of your system before the hot summer weather settles into the region.

And just like your air conditioner, the hotter the weather, the harder your HVAC technician will have to work to complete the installation. This is easier in spring and gives your technician the ability to methodically complete every step in the installation process.

Give Yourself Time To Get Your Schedule Programming Into a Thermostat

Springtime is the ideal time to program your thermostat for the summer months. By now, you’ve likely determined schedules for work, vacations, summer camps, etc. Programming your summer cooling schedule now gives you more time to rest and relax later. Moreover, if you have a Smart thermostat, it’s easy to adjust your cooling schedule as your needs evolve and change.

Prepare for the Summer Heat

Temperatures are rising across the country, and that means many regions, including our own in Northern Virginia, are enjoying warmer temperatures earlier in the year. This means that many spring days can feel more like June and July. With a new, reliable air conditioner installed and ready to go, you’ll be prepared to enjoy superior comfort no matter what the forecast has in store.

Take Advantage of Spring Deals

Springtime is the best time to score significant savings on air conditioning systems. Manufacturers and distributors are often eager to liquidate stocks from last season, which means you can purchase a top-quality system at a lower price. Further, competition between manufacturers begins to heat up in the spring, which means you can often find seasonal sales and discounts that dramatically reduce the cost of your investment. And don’t forget that you can claim up to $600 energy-efficiency home improvement credit on your taxes for purchasing a qualifying air conditioner.
