Why Spring Is the Best Time to Replace Your AC

Too often, people only replace their air conditioners when their old units have failed. This tends to happen during summer when we use our AC constantly and depend on them the most. Unfortunately, the summer months are a busy time for air conditioning specialists, so you might have to wait a few days or weeks to schedule your AC replacement. If your air conditioner is more than 10 years old, you should replace it before the heat sets in—ideally in the spring.

Here are some of the benefits of replacing your air conditioner in spring:

  • Easier scheduling
  • Affordable units
  • More energy savings
  • Less urgency

Contact JD Service Now to schedule your air conditioner replacement. We serve residential and commercial customers throughout Durham, Apex, Chapel Hill, Cary, and the surrounding communities.

4 Perks of Scheduling AC Replacement in the Spring

Summers in Durham are hot and humid. By the time June rolls around, the average high is 85°. Having your AC in working order is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. If you replace your unit before the temperatures rise, you have more to gain than guaranteed comfort.

Enjoy these added benefits when you replace your AC in spring:

  • Easier scheduling. HVAC services are in higher demand when the temperatures are most extreme. Winter and summer are busy, while the mild fall and spring temps allow for more flexible scheduling. If you wait until summer, you will have to book service around the AC company’s availability rather than your schedule. Scheduling in spring should allow you to find an appointment time that is convenient.
  • Affordable units. Just like scheduling, pricing tends to fluctuate with the weather. If you purchase a new air conditioner in the summer, demand will be higher and prices will follow. Purchasing in spring, however, could save you money. Prices will be lower, and companies may have special offers to incentivize you to replace your AC during a less busy time.
  • More energy savings. A new air conditioner will operate more efficiently than your old unit. Replacing yours before heading into the summer months will lead to lower utility bills. You may be tempted to put off replacing your AC for another season, but you’re running the risk of having it break down while also paying more to operate it.
  • Less urgency. Another bonus of having your air conditioner replaced in spring is that you have time to weigh your options. If you wait until your AC breaks down during a heatwave, you’ll be forced into making a quick decision. Replacing your unit before you need to use it allows you to shop for the best air conditioner for your needs and budget.
