If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you’re not alone. While it’s appealing, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your machine is more intricate than many people realize. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That could be another costly mistake. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, but things change.

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: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, you probably can’t beat the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Schraer Heating & Air Conditioning are experts in all things HVAC. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • Technician tune-ups are more in-depth: 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. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential 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 professionals at Schraer Heating & Air Conditioning can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. In addition, maintenance on your system helps it run more efficiently, saving you even more.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Schraer Heating & Air Conditioning will make sure your system is working appropriately.
