It might seem strange to be thinking about your furnace in the middle of the summer. It does not strike a lot of people as the time for furnace replacement when you are sitting there wondering, “Why is my house so hot?”. However, it can be smart and financially advantageous, to take care of a furnace replacement during the summer months, rather than waiting until something happens to your current furnace. In fact, one of the best ways to keep your HVAC system working well for years to come is to take a more preventative approach to heating & air conditioning. In St. Louis and the surrounding areas, our service team at Galmiche & Sons can help.
Get Ready for the Winter
Your HVAC service team will tell you: the more proactive you can be with HVAC maintenance, the more money and time you will save down the road. That applies to everything from regular cleanings to furnace replacement, and so there is never a bad time to think about furnace replacement and whether your HVAC system could benefit from an upgrade. One reason to do it in the summer is so that you do not have to go without heating during the replacement. Plus, this gives you a lot of time to think about your HVAC needs and consider different furnaces.
There will also be signs that you should think about a furnace replacement long before your furnace actually stops working, so if you notice issues during the winter, the next summer is a great time to have your furnace checked out. If there are significant issues with the system, it might be time for a furnace replacement. A good rule of thumb is to multiply the cost of repairs by the age of the unit. If the cost of repairs is higher, it might be time for furnace replacement as repair costs can be expected to grow with age. It is also worth noting that most residential furnaces last only about 15-20 years before you need a furnace replacement.
Save on Off-Season Prices
If you are in the market for a furnace replacement, get it done now, before the winter comes. Not only will this give you time to decide and compare, but you can also take advantage of off-season prices for furnace replacement. Most people only get their furnaces replaced after a catastrophic breakdown — usually in the winter. Service teams have lower prices for furnace replacement in the summer, as well as a more open schedule. It is also possible there are package deals available if you happen to be having your air conditioner worked on or replaced this summer. Pretty much any time you have one aspect of your HVAC system rehauled or replaced, it is a good idea to at least assess the other units as well.
