One of the benefits of upgrading to a new central air conditioner is potential AC savings that may be there for the taking. Shopping the brands and models and making a buying decision can be a time-consuming procedure. But in addition to determining the right-size unit with the most desirable features at an affordable price, assessing the options for AC savings is an important aspect of getting the best deal. Here are some of the perks that may help you achieve AC savings as you operate the new unit.
- Money-back rebates and tax credits. The public sector frequently offers inducements and promotions to encourage homeowners to upgrade to new, more efficient HVAC components. The federal Energy Star program, as well as state and local utilities, are sources to identify for rebates that provide cash back to you or a tax credit on a qualifying purchase of an air conditioner or furnace. By checking out multiple potential sources, you might even be eligible for more than a single rebate or credit.
- Manufacturer promotions. Name-brand manufacturers of home HVAC units frequently sponsor offers that include rebates on certain models to stimulate sales. Often, these will tend to be the upper tier of air-conditioner models that offer higher energy efficiency versus the entry-level, standard models. But higher efficiency can be a type of rebate in itself, as reduced energy consumption provides monthly utility savings for as long as you own the unit.
- Good timing. The best time of year to take advantage of good deals on air conditioners tends to not be the middle of a long, hot summer. Most HVAC manufacturers and dealers choose to stimulate sales with special rebates and promotions on air-conditioning units during the slow seasons of fall and spring. Also, their installation crews are less busy at that time, so getting a prompt install is assured.
