UPGRADE YOUR HOME THIS FALL
WHY NOW IS THE TIME TO REPLACE AN AGING HVAC SYSTEM
Beyond the financial drain, there is the stress of
dealing with an unexpected breakdown during
extreme weather. Having to replace an HVAC
system in the middle of a breakdown denies you
the opportunity to shop around and purchase
a system that best fits your home and needs.
Similarly, replacing an unreliable system with
a newer model can provide consistent comfort,
improved efficiency and financial predictability.
Fall is the Ideal Time for Replacement
Fall is considered the "shoulder season" in the
HVAC industry. Contractors generally have
more availability than during the busy summer
and winter months, which makes scheduling
easier. With the more moderate weather conditions
during fall, you may be more comfortable
without heating or cooling while the new system
is being installed. Acting in fall also avoids the
risk of facing a system failure in the middle of a
cold snap when demand is high and options may
be limited.

Incentives Can Make Upgrading
More Affordable
For a limited time, programs are available
to help homeowners manage the cost of replacement.
systems from Carrier qualify for rebates of
up to $2,100 and financing plans with 0%
APR for 60 months, giving families the ability to
spread out payments without extra interest.
In addition, federal incentives under the Inflation

lowering the net cost. These IRA incentives are
set to expire at the end of the year, making this
fall the perfect time to upgrade.
Ensure Comfort and Effi ciency
During the Holidays
The holiday season is a busy time and usually
includes hosting loved ones. Guarantee your celebrations
stay warm and comfortable by replacing your
old unit during the fall months.

AFAMILY FEATURES s cooler weather sets in, households
across the country face a tough question:
keep repairing their old heating
and cooling systems or finally replace them with
new ones.
While squeezing every penny out of an old unit
might seem like a way to save money, experts
caution that waiting can lead to higher costs, less
comfort and missed opportunities for major savings.
The Hidden Cost of 'Just One More Repair'
Older HVAC systems often need frequent service
and those repair bills can add up. Bandage-type
repairs on current units could lead to more surprise
bills from repair people who usually do not
offer financing plans. With contractor schedules
filling up during peak seasons, a breakdown at
the wrong time could mean long delays for repairs
or replacements - leaving your home uncomfortable
when you need it most.

Modern HVAC systems do more than heat and
cool; they can help maintain balanced humidity,
reduce drafts, improve air quality and eliminate
uneven hot or cold spots throughout your home.
Plus, the energy efficiency of your new heating
and cooling system may help you save on
monthly utility bills; savings you can put toward
holiday shopping.
While it may be tempting to prolong the life of
an old HVAC system, delaying replacement can
end up being more expensive and stressful. With
incentives, financing and tax credits available
this fall, planning ahead can help you save money
and enjoy year-round comfort.
