If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your HVAC system 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 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, here are some of the reasons it’s wise to hire an experienced professional to do the maintenance:

  • 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 an expert gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Central Heating & Plumbing are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • Technician tune-ups are more comprehensive: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the appointment. They’ll check your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential issues.
  • 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 unit could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The experts at Central Heating & Plumbing can recognize issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. In addition, maintenance on your system helps it run more efficiently, saving you even more.
