If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, 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 air conditioner 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. 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 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 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 an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Gilray Heating and Cooling are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • 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. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential 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 , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at Gilray Heating and Cooling can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.
