If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, 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 HVAC system is more intricate than many people realize. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That could also lead to more expensive results. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but things change.

Whether you’re considering doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, take a look at some of the benefits with selecting a qualified technician to take a look at your system:

• Technicians have the appropriate training: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Rescue Heating & Air are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to make an emergency AC repair after some well-intentioned DIY work.
• Technician tune-ups are more comprehensive: During a maintenance appointment, an HVAC technician checks to make sure everything about your system is in working order. They’ll check 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: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your system could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. One of the experts from Rescue Heating & Air 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.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Rescue Heating & Air is here to help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should.
