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 air conditioner is more complex than it may appear. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could be another costly mistake. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but who’s to say it will last.

Whether you’re considering doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, here are some of the reasons it’s wise to hire an experienced professional to do the maintenance:

• Technicians have the right training: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, 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 in-depth: A qualified technician will understand everything that needs to be addressed during a routine maintenance appointment. They’ll assess your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. While they’re checking your system, they’ll be on the lookout for indications of more serious issues.
• Tune-ups can save you money in the long run: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The experts at Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—reducing your expenses. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.
