When is the best time to buy a furnace?

We often hear questions about when is it the best time to buy a furnace, are they less expensive in the summer, do the installs go faster in the winter etc. The honest answer is, there is no perfect time to buy a furnace. Pricing does not change throughout the year. Sky Heating keeps the same pricing for a furnace year round unless we get an increase from the manufacture of the product. We work with both Trane and Ruud to get you the best options available. During the summer is usually our busiest time of the year so it can sometimes take us a few weeks before we can get your furnace installed and during the winter we run into the same issue with furnaces breaking and needing to be replaced. Ideally if possible, have your furnace replaced between August and November to get the fastest service or February through May before we get busy again with AC's. Currently there are great financing offers up to 48 months 0% interest or we have year round 36 month 0% interest financing on the Trane XC95M which is a 60 stage modulating furnace. New furnaces are up to 97% efficient and have energy saving ECM blower motors that can also reduce your electric bill costs.

The fact is the best time to buy is whenever you can afford to put a new furnace in, older furnaces last 15-25 years and if your furnace is over 25 years old it is probably living on borrowed time. Call Sky Heating today to get a quote for a new furnace replacement so you are not left in the cold this winter or without air conditioning if your furnaces blower breaks this summer.
