If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you’re not alone. While it’s attractive, 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 not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That could be another costly mistake. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but things change.

Whether you’re contemplating 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 right training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, you probably can’t beat the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Total Assurance AC & Heating are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • 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. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential issues.
  • Tune-ups can save you money in the long run: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Total Assurance AC & Heating can recognize issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.
