If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s attractive, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. Your machine is more intricate than many people realize. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That isn’t a great idea either. 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: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it won’t provide the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Kapaun & Brown are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s going to save time by doing it right the first time rather than having to make costly repairs after.
- Technician tune-ups are more thorough: During a maintenance appointment, an HVAC technician checks to make sure everything about your system is in working order. They’ll check 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: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Kapaun & Brown can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.
