The summer heat is on its way and your air conditioner is kaput — what next?
There used to be no option other than to shell out the full cost of a new air conditioner, but in more recent years it’s become possible to take a financial short cut by renting or leasing an air conditioner. This is an effective way to get a new air conditioner installed and humming without breaking the bank.
If you’re looking for ways to keep your Ottawa home cool this summer, read on for a more detailed breakdown of what to expect when renting an air conditioner.
What’s involved in renting an air conditioner?
Simply put, renting turns the upfront cost of an air conditioner into a monthly agreement which often includes installation and different service options at no extra cost. With ABC, for example, air conditioner rental includes up to 10 years of parts and labour warranty, reducing the hassle and stress involved in getting repairs should any problem occur.
While the provider of the unit is still the owner of the air conditioner, you, the homeowner, get to enjoy the benefits without the upfront cost. With ABC’s lease-to-buy approach, you will also be the owner of the unit at the end of the term.
With controlled costs and with added protection against unexpected repair costs along the way, renting is a way for homeowners to enjoy cool conditions all summer long.
What is included when buying an air conditioner?
The alternative to renting is to purchase a unit outright. This means the homeowner takes on the full cost of the unit and often will need to pay for installation and any repairs or maintenance beyond the standard warranty.
Ownership of the unit is more straightforward, and should the homeowners choose to sell their home then there doesn’t need to be a conversation around paying out the remaining rental term for the unit.
