Ordering AC Units: What to Know About the Timeline

Written by Admin | Sep 23, 2025 2:43:53 PM

Air conditioner units are only installed during the warmer months. To make sure members receive their units on time, it’s important to understand the seasonal ordering process.

When orders are accepted

AC unit orders are typically scheduled for spring and summer. Because installations cannot be completed in cold weather, all service agreements must be submitted well before fall. Orders received after the seasonal cutoff will be closed and will need to be resubmitted the following year.

Why this timeline matters

Scheduling AC installations requires advance planning to ensure every approved order can be completed before the season ends. Submitting requests early prevents delays and ensures members can stay safe and comfortable through the summer.

How to stay on track

  • Submit service agreements as soon as possible in spring or early summer
  • Confirm order status with APA Medical if you are unsure where it stands
  • Plan ahead so members do not have to wait until the following year for installation
