While you could make an argument that residential wind projects are good at any time of the year, there are sometimes that are at least conceptually better than others. Seasonality, and depending on where you live, can make a big difference and how easy your project is to get up and running. Of course, it is best to always err on the side of taking action with any project where you start saving money quickly. By taking a step forward and moving implement your residential wind turbine you can be literally cutting thousands of dollars a year out of your home energy costs. However, it is not wise to buy a residential wind turbine try to set up in the middle of the winter if your roof is frozen. If you live in a climate that is particularly harsh or where the wind flows strongly year-round it may be worth the effort to get somebody to install the device for you though. If you are going the route of installing the device yourself, or doing a self-directed project involving using parts that you might find around your house, you probably need to wait until the climate is conducive to spending extended periods of time outside so that you're not cutting corners and try to get something done more quickly than it needs to be done. These projects are expensive and if you're going to install residential wind turbine it is wise do it right the first time. These devices are not light and if you have to move them from one place to the other because you to quickly acted, it can be quite a hassle. So, it is much better to measure twice and cut once. Take your time upfront and be certain of where you want to install the device and in what weather conditions you will ultimately install it. Then, execute your plan. Speaking to the original point though, you can do a little back of the envelope math and figure out if it will cost you less in the long run to let someone else install the turbine and get it up and running faster. That analysis will just involve calculating how much less money you will have to pay your local utility by having the residential wind turbine up and running. All of this is very doable by the average homeowner but you can't rely on a simple analysis supplied by a wind turbine manufacturer do this for you. Their advice is just too skewed and manipulated to suggest you should buy their particular device. It is best to do your analysis independently and then you can decide exactly how much it's worth to go ahead and get the wind turbine up and running sooner than later. To sum it all up, there is no ideal time to install a residential wind turbine, but you need to do your own analysis and decide if it is in your best interest to put one up quicker with an installer or to wait until spring and do-it-yourself.
