It’s 100 degrees in the middle of July and we’re talking about heaters?

Believe it or not, summer is the best time to purchase a heater for your family room, basement, garage, patio or workshop.

Why?

For one thing, heating equipment vendors have some of their best deals available on room heaters, wall furnaces, fireplaces, garage heaters, vent free logs, construction heaters and patio heaters during the warmest months of the year, when demand is lowest. Come fall and winter, when demand is higher, they’re less likely to offer any kind of special incentives or discounts.

Know also that many heating distributors are sitting on a lot of unsold inventory – a result of the nationwide economic downturn. The fact is, sitting on unsold inventory for long periods of time costs dealers and distributors money, so most are willing to discuss a discount to get product moving out of their warehouses. Don’t be afraid to ask for a lower price (within reason) or some other incentive such as free shipping to help defray your purchase cost.
