If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you’re not alone. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. Your air conditioner is more complicated than you might think. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, 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 things change.

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: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Alpine Summit Heating & Cooling 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 thorough: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the appointment. They’ll assess 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 unit could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. One of the experts from Alpine Summit Heating & Cooling can identify 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.
