When is the best time to buy an air conditioner: summer or winter? – Setafi

I wonder why the user drives such a query into the search engine? Is it really so important for the operating temperature of the split system, does it somehow affect the price? The answer is simple - it's all about marketing. Even air conditioning systems fluctuate in price depending on the season.

In our article, we will talk about when it is better to buy an air conditioner and what factors affect a successful purchase. Let's start!

When is it better to install air conditioning - we analyze every season

It should be understood that a split system can be purchased, regardless of the temperature outside the window. Therefore, you can try to "find happiness" yourself in search of cheap equipment. We will consider the pros and cons of purchasing equipment for different seasons.

Spring - an active search for "cheap"

In the spring, there is an active interest among buyers, since the temperature already allows you to put the air conditioner on the street and you need to prepare for the hot summer. Take care of the prevention of your device in advance - constant cleaning and replacement of filters will definitely not interfere with it.

Since split systems are rarely installed in winter, experienced installers and manufacturers are actively raising prices for their services. And when the first heat strikes - so generally to heaven!

Those "poor fellows" who did not have time for the last train, only misfortune awaits in the form of money spent in excess of that offered at other times of the year.

Summer - what did you think before?

Most firms are busy with installation work almost around the clock. After all, it is at this time that the air conditioner requires the maximum temperature in order to cool. And every now and then: either the system breaks down, or no one cleans it, or someone just came for a purchase. This increases both the demand for the product and its price.

It is interesting that in some companies in the summer the queue for work with air conditioners is clogged, if not for weeks, then for several days in advance. We strongly recommend that you take care of your comfort in advance.

Fall is here to start!

With the onset of cold weather, the hype for the purchase of cooling systems is relatively low, as is the cost of installation. Everyone who wanted coolness in the room, either already installed in the summer, or even last season.

Is it worth it to install air conditioning in the apartment? Of course and definitely! However, there is one small problem - frequent rains, which prevent installers from hanging the outdoor unit of the split system. After all, no one wants to work in a long downpour!

What to do with air conditioning in winter?

At this time, the demand for the installation is generally small. Installation of air conditioners in winter is associated with many troubles, including: cold, snow sticking, lack of desire and profit for installers to work in the cold, and so on.

Due to the difficulties, the installation time of the device increases significantly, so the masters say that you should not deal with winter air conditioners at all.

In fact, if you yourself know how to install air conditioning in an apartment in winter or know a wonderful worker - why not?! One unpleasant thing is that you have to freeze your hands a little.

When is it better to install the air conditioner - before or after repair work?

Before the repair itself, almost everyone does the planning: from the flooring to the location of your air conditioner. In order for the interior to look like "people's", it is important to think through everything to the smallest detail. Of course, you can install a split system in winter or summer already on finished walls. Do you want all sorts of tubes and wires hanging right on brand new wallpaper?!

It is in the process of repair work that places are selected for future communications for the cooling system. This is the first stage of installing the device, where you can immediately put the external unit of the air conditioner at the proper temperature outside. We strongly recommend that you engage in installation work in the initial stages of wall covering. If this is not done before, then you will either have to re-paste the wallpaper, or live with pipes and wires.

Hanging the block of climatic equipment and its launch are carried out after finishing work on dry wallpaper or plaster. But it is necessary that the room has a positive temperature, otherwise the air conditioner can quickly fail when operating at low temperatures.

When is the best time to buy an air conditioner: in winter or autumn

We tell you right away what you need to rely on when buying the right air conditioner: assortment and price. It depends on just two factors and under the influence of the season whether it is worth thinking about the issue of buying at all.

All firms begin to import "fresh" devices somewhere in the beginning of spring, when there is a relatively active demand. At the same time, the price of even the most common models is set as the flagship ones.

The peak of excitement falls on the summer season, as everyone runs to the store either for a fan or for air conditioning. Conclusion - in spring or summer it is better not to meddle at all if you want to spend less from your wallet.

In autumn, the price is a little, but decreases to adequate. Many experienced "shopaholics" and survivors of hot weather buy at this time. The number of worthy devices in stores is falling, and few people want to import them before winter - an unprofitable time.

In winter, the price is reduced to a maximum (but not on New Year's Eve). Although, if you find a store with real discounts, you can snatch equipment, saving about 30-40% of the initial cost. And how much air conditioning is installed in winter is a separate issue. If you do not find a master, you will have to wait until spring.

Another disadvantage of buying devices on New Year's Eve is that during the summer and autumn everything is swept clean from the shelves. You will be left with only "roots" from the warehouse.

Conclusion:

1. if you want a model at a modest price, it is best to look at the end of November;
2. when you are looking for the most powerful air conditioner - contact your hardware store at the first delivery; the price has not yet been raised, and the demand is low;
3. summer is a “fiery” time not only because of the weather, but also because of the overpricing.
