Why Summer Pricing Is Different

🥵

AC Demand Explodes

HVAC contractors book 2-3 weeks out and emergency rates kick in. A $7,000 replacement in March becomes an $8,500 replacement in July. Schedule AC work in spring or early fall when possible.

Pool Season Lead Times

Pool builders are booked 8-16 weeks out by late spring. If you want to swim this summer, quotes should already be in hand. Weekly pool service also has 4-6 week waitlists in peak months.

Peak Solar Production
