Can Air Conditioning Be Installed During Any Time Of Year?

Can Air Conditioning Be Installed During Any Time Of Year - Bruces ACIf you are like many homeowners looking to replace their old, worn out air conditioning units, you may be wondering when the best time is to have your new unit installed. Many people choose to wait until late spring or early summer to have their air conditioner serviced or replaced.

While this may work for some people, the optimal time to replace your unit is actually during the cooler fall and winter months. There are a couple of reasons that this time of year is best.

Why It’s Actually Better To Install Your Air Conditioning During The Cooler Months

 

Faster Service

If you have ever called an air conditioning repair company on the first hot day of the year, you know how busy things can get. Waiting until this time of the year to have an outdated unit replaced can leave you waiting and waiting for service. This is because air conditioning repair companies are bombarded with service requests due to failing units.

By scheduling your air conditioning installation during the cooler months, you can easily schedule your appointment at your convenience and get a service man out to your home quickly!

 

Better Prices

One of the ways you can save money on your unit installation is when air conditioning repair companies offer discounts on services. This is a great way for them to gain business and for you to save a few dollars. Even if the company is not offering a discount you may still be able to save money on the hourly service rate as it’s less busy and easier to install air conditioning units in a comfortable temperature than it is in sweltering heat. This means your technician will be able to complete the work faster than they would if they had to take multiple breaks due to the heat.

If you know that your air conditioner is on its last leg, you should plan on replacing it with a new unit in the cooler months. This will allow you to save money both on the unit and the installation. Many utility companies offer rebates to individuals installing new units. This rebate is often decreased the closer we get to summer.

Your Indoor Air Quality

How To Decrease Asthma And Allergies By ImprovingFebruary is National Care About Your Indoor Air Month. Although, indoor air quality is important all year round.

Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that indoor air pollution is two to five times higher than outdoor air pollution levels? Because we spend up to 90% of our lives indoors, in our homes, workplaces, and schools, poor indoor air quality is an issue that shouldn’t be ignored.

Improving Your Indoor Air Quality

There are many sources of pollution that can trigger health problems such as allergies and asthma. Dirt, dust, and other particulates being blown out from HVAC systems are a primary source of poor indoor air quality.

One of the best ways to combat these triggers for asthma and allergies is with an air cleaner which can remove the majority of particulates in the air including dust, pollen, pet hair, dander, dust mites, mildew, fungus, smoke, and bacteria.

At Bruce’s Air Conditioning and Heating, we specialize in helping homeowners improve their indoor air quality. We offer a variety of air cleaning systems that can dramatically improve the quality of air inside a home.

Of course, there are other strategies that can also make you breathe easier. Here are a few of the basics:

Control Sources Of Air Pollution

Yes, this means dusting and cleaning on a regular basis so that particles don’t get stirred up and airborne. Regular surface cleaning on floors, blinds, drapes, furniture, and decorative items is a must. As well, pets should be bathed regularly, and mold should be removed as soon as it’s spotted.

Ventilate When Possible

Opening up windows and doors to let fresh air in can improve your indoor air quality. If the temperature is right, open up your house to cleaner air!

Get Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Leaking furnaces, water heaters, ranges, and clothes dryers can cause dangerous air quality issues. If you have gas appliances, you will definitely want to install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors to alert you if you should ever have a leak.

We encourage you to call Bruce’s Air Conditioning and Heating if you’re ready to improve the quality of your indoor air quality. We’re happy to inspect your home, make recommendations, and install a system that will greatly reduce health problems associated with poor air quality.
