If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you’re not alone. While it’s attractive, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your HVAC system is more complicated than you might think. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could be another costly mistake. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

Whether you’re thinking of doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, check out the benefits of hiring a professional to check out your machine before you make a decision you could regret:

• Technicians have the necessary training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
• Technician tune-ups are more comprehensive: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the appointment. They’ll check your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential issues.
• Professional tune-ups can save you money: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your system could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. One of the experts from Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating can identify issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. In addition, maintenance on your system helps it run more efficiently, saving you even more.
