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 attractive, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your machine is more complicated than you might think. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could also lead to more expensive results. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, 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, you probably can’t beat the education an expert gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at TopTec are experts in all things HVAC. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • Technician tune-ups are more thorough: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the 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: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The professionals at TopTec can recognize 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.
