If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you aren’t the only one. While it’s appealing, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your machine is more intricate than many people realize. 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 considering 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: While you can learn a lot about your home’s system through your owner’s guide and the internet, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education a professional gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating are experts in all things HVAC. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to make an emergency AC repair after some well-intentioned DIY work.
  • Technician tune-ups are more in-depth: A qualified technician will understand everything that needs to be addressed during a routine maintenance appointment. They’ll review your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. As part of the maintenance, they are also on the lookout for any signs of a more serious problem.
  • You can see cost-savings after a professional tune-up: You might not be able to recognize the early signs of a problem with your air conditioning. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating can recognize issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.
