If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you’re not alone. 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 skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That could be another costly mistake. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, 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 appropriate 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 professional gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Western Mechanical, Inc. are experts in all things HVAC. 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 in-depth: 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.
  • You can see cost-savings after a professional tune-up: 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 experts at Western Mechanical, Inc. can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.
