If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, you aren’t the only one. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your air conditioner is more complicated than you might think. 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. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

Whether you’re contemplating 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 an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Watts Electric & AC are experts in all things HVAC. It’s going to save time by doing it right the first time rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • Technician tune-ups are more comprehensive: During a maintenance appointment, an HVAC technician checks to make sure everything about your system is in working order. They’ll assess your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. As part of the maintenance, they are also on the lookout for any signs of a more serious problem.
  • 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 unit could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. One of the experts from Watts Electric & AC can recognize 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.
