Replacing your old furnace may be a significant investment, but if you insist on sticking with it for a bit longer, there’s no telling what can happen during the cold months. An older heating system is more susceptible to breakdowns that can occur when you least expect it. You wouldn’t want to go through this in the middle of winter, so if it’s at the end of its life span, it may be time to get a replacement before then.
Of course, like most homeowners, you’d want the best deal when getting a new furnace. All Seasons, Inc., a locally-trusted name among air conditioning and furnace companies, shares a few tips to help you out:
Look for Manufacturer Rebates
Before you approach several contractors for estimates, consider checking the current rebate offers from the leading heating and cooling manufacturers. Just keep in mind that they tend to apply only to the manufacturers’ expensive models. If this isn’t what you’re looking for, you might get a better deal if you go for a mid-level unit that isn’t eligible for a rebate.
Check for Local Incentives
Rebates offered by heating and air conditioning companies can be stacked with any incentives offered in your area. Check your state or local utility company for rebates or incentives for replacing old boilers or furnaces. As long as you choose an ENERGY STAR®-rated model, you can benefit from state or government incentives available in your area.
Compare Several Estimates
A complete furnace replacement involves more than just picking out the right unit. It also involves the labor needed to install it properly. You’ll notice how each company offers different recommendations and prices when you compare estimates. Don’t just settle on the first estimate offered to you, as not all companies will have your best interests in mind. That’s why it helps to approach several prospects to know how much you can spend on your project.
