If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you’re not alone. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. Your machine is more complex than it may appear. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could also lead to more expensive results. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but who’s to say it will last.

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 right 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 technician gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Age Heating & Cooling are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. 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 thorough: 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.
  • 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 unit could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Age Heating & Cooling can identify issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.
