If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s appealing, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your machine 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 isn’t a great idea either. 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, take a look at some of the benefits with selecting a qualified technician to take a look at your system:

• Technicians have the appropriate 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. Once they’ve completed their training and 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 an emergency AC repair after some well-intentioned DIY work.
• Technician tune-ups are more comprehensive: 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. 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: 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 Kapaun & Brown can acknowledge 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.
