If you’re looking forward to the comfort provided by your new furnace or AC systems, you’ll enjoy them even more if you got the best possible prices on them. These tips will show you how to do just that.

If you can wait until the off season to purchase your new furnace or AC system you’ll likely find excellent savings. Furnaces and AC systems cost less when demand for them is low. Dealers get hungry for business in their slow months and often offer discounts, especially on units that they want to clear out before the next season. Call around to several companies to find which ones are in the mood to deal. Purchasing both a furnace and an AC system at the same time will produce the best value, and you will almost certainly save on installation, too.

Secondly, use the power of negotiation. For example, if you plan to purchase a furnace and AC system, start by pricing the furnace. Then negotiate a better price if you also include the purchase of the air conditioner. If you think there still might be some room to maneuver, simply make an offer you think is reasonable, and dicker from there. Also offer cash, which is always appreciated, and might induce the dealer to meet your offer.

Thirdly, many homeowners are receiving tax credits from the government for purchasing energy saving systems. Some local utility companies are giving energy rebates, too. The dealers you talk with will know which units qualify, though that information is also available online.

Finally, if you don’t want to expend the entire cost now, seek financing from the dealer. Many will be able to offer reasonable financing rates, with a solid down payment, producing a monthly payment that fits the budget.

Shopping around will take some time, but the savings will make it worthwhile. Take your time to find the best deals, rebates, and tax credits and you’ll enjoy your climate controllers even more.
