Why Fall Is A Good Time For A/C Installation

Did you put off purchasing and having a new air conditioning system installed all summer? It’s time to bite the bullet and take advantage of what the fall season has to offer. Even though you may think it’s wise to wait until the spring, find out why now is the perfect time:

1. Thinking you should wait until the spring to have a new air conditioning system installed? Think about how many other homeowners have the same plans. This could mean that air conditioning companies will be extremely busy when warmer temperatures make their way back into town and you may have to wait until they can fit you in.

2. Now that temperatures are getting a bit cooler, you can probably go a few days without running your system. This will give your A/C company time to remove your old system and install the new one without your home overheating. Take advantage of milder temperatures and crack the windows for some fresh air!

3. Some dealers and manufacturers offer end-of-season incentives. You may be able to get a great deal on a new system during the cooler months.

Since our beginning in 1983, Aspen Air Conditioning has been focused on the comfort needs of Southeast Florida residents at home and at work. We pride ourselves in achieving the highest customer satisfaction through our TEAM of experts which include our installation, service and inside support. Give us a call at 561-395-1500 when you’re ready to have a new A/C system installed.

Keep Your Family Safe With Nest Protect

Say goodbye to your old smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors and say hello to Nest Protect. This new smart home device is taking safety and security to the next level. How? Find out about its Emergency Shutoff feature and how it can keep the people inside your home protected.

Lots of times when there is an emergency inside a home, heating and cooling equipment can actually make the situation worse. Think about it like this, your carbon monoxide detector is going off while your home’s heating system continues to run on fossil fuels (such as oil or gas). Or how about if your home is filling with smoke. If you have any fans running or the air conditioning vents are blowing air throughout your home, guess what? The smoke is going to spread.

Nest Protect's Emergency Shutoff feature actively fights back to keep you and your family safe. It works with your thermostat to turn your heating or cooling systems off when an emergency strikes.

It’s important to keep in mind that this feature is based on the type of system you enter during thermostat setup and it only works with forced air systems. It also won’t with electric systems - it must be gas, oil or other fossil fuels.
