If your heating system is older or has begun to show signs of wear and costs you more and more in repairs, you might want to consider replacing it this fall. Whether you have a heat pump, furnace, or boiler, fall is the perfect season to schedule your heating system replacement.
Let TMS wrap your home in warmth and comfort this fall and winter and for many years to come.
The benefits of replacing your heating system this fall include:
Downtime Isn’t a Bother
When you undergo a heating system replacement, you will go without heat for a bit. After your HVAC contractor removes your old heater, it will take some time for them to get your new one installed and functioning.
Usually, your home will only be without heat for a day or less, but in the dead of winter, this can be a nuisance. It’s much easier to have your heater replaced in the fall when going without heat is less of a bother Sure, if it’s 55ºF outside, your home might get a little chilly when the heat’s off. But it won’t get nearly as cold as it would if it were 20ºF in January!
Reduced Risk of Breakdowns
Going into winter with an HVAC system that’s old or beginning to fail can be a stressful experience. You may constantly be worried about the heat failing, especially when you go out of town or are away at work all day. If you replace the aging heating system in the fall, you’ll have a much lower risk of breakdowns. This can give you peace of mind, and it also means you shouldn’t have to pay for emergency heating repairs this winter.
Lower Heating Cost
Older heating systems aren’t usually very efficient. They also lose efficiency as they age. So, if you go through the coming winter with an older furnace or boiler, your energy bills might be higher than you’d like. On the other hand, if you replace your system in the fall, you’ll have all winter to save money on energy.
More System Availability
One of the challenges many people face when trying to install a new system is the availability of the system they want. When you experience a mid-season breakdown, you’re often left with whatever happens to be in stock right now or you have to wait for your ideal system to become available. Because fewer new systems are installed in the fall, there are more systems available to choose from.
Easy Scheduling
Once winter hits, HVAC contractors tend to get pretty busy. The first few weeks of the heating season are typically filled with repair appointments. Fall, by comparison, can be a quieter time for HVAC companies. As such, you may find your HVAC contractor is more flexible in scheduling your heating replacement appointment in the fall than in the winter. If you need to schedule around work, school, or other obligations, now is the time.
For peace of mind, energy savings, and ease of scheduling, fall is the perfect season for your heating system replacement. If you’re a Connecticut homeowner and are looking for a reliable HVAC contractor, don’t hesitate to contact our TMS professionals… because TMS Does Heating Best!
