If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. 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 intricate than many people realize. 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. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

Whether you’re considering 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 appropriate 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 a technician gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Gilray Heating and Cooling are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s going to save time by doing it right the first time rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • Technician tune-ups are more thorough: 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.
  • Professional tune-ups can save you money: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your system could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The experts at Gilray Heating and Cooling can acknowledge 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.
