Over the ages, necessity has proven to be the mother of all inventions. This means that human beings think outside the box only when they encounter a new challenge and have to come up with innovative ideas for solving that problem. However, this does not have to be case nowadays. Most challenges are well understood, and there are solutions, so it is simply a matter of planning. Take your home AC system for instance. It is a fact that you will rely heavily on the air conditioning when temperatures rise in the hot summer months. However, there is always the risk of the air conditioner malfunctioning, performing dismally or operating inefficiently. To ensure the system performs according to your needs and expectations, you should consider upgrading it.
Why Install a New AC Unit Early?
i) To Save Money
The law of economics dictate that when demand for something is high, prices are likely to rise. If you wait until summer to buy a new air conditioner, you will have to spend more money on both the equipment purchase and installation service due to the high demand for new air conditioning equipment and installation service in the summer. This means you can save a lot of money on air conditioning installation if you do it before summer.
Please note you will also save money due to reduced repair costs and lower energy consumption.
ii) Enjoy Maximum Home Comfort
When temperatures start rising and you have a faulty or inefficient air conditioning system, staying indoors will be a nightmare. While the AC unit may still be able to provide some cooling, this may not be enough to keep you cool and comfortable during the hot summer months. As you may already know, air conditioners do not just cool air, they also remove excess moisture from air and filter out airborne impurities circulating in the building. By replacing your air conditioning system before summer you can be assure of enjoying maximum home comfort.
iii) Experience Zero Down Times
While it is possible to replace your air conditioner in the summer, you would have to spend a whole day at home without air conditioning as the technicians will have to uninstall the old unit before installing the new AC equipment. Since you don’t want your home to lack air conditioning when the system is needed most, you should do the AC installation before the hot summer months arrive.
Tips on Hiring the Right Installer
To ensure you get a quality installation, employ a good AC contractor. Below are factors to consider when comparing contractors:
i) Licensing
Only properly licensed HVAC companies with certified technicians should be considered. This is crucial because you would like to get the highest quality of service. Licensed contractors are qualified, so they can offer quality services.
ii) Experience
The best installers usually have plenty of experience in the industry. They have been around for a long time and have installed AC systems for different types of clients. Therefore, they are able to handle the AC installation project to your satisfaction.
iii) Insurance and Bond
You want zero exposure to risks, so only insured and bonded contractors should get any consideration. You will need to do some research on this before you commit yourself.
iv) Cost
Before picking a contractor, it is advisable you request quotes from all the firms remaining on your list. After comparing those quotes, you will be able to pick out the most affordable AC installers.
