If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you aren’t the only one. While it’s appealing, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your machine is more complicated than you might think. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That could also lead to more expensive results. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, 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 necessary training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, 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 H&C Heating and Cooling are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • Technician tune-ups are more comprehensive: 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. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential issues.
  • You can see cost-savings after a professional tune-up: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The professionals at H&C Heating and Cooling can recognize issues before they become too serious—reducing your expenses. 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. H&C Heating and Cooling will make sure your system is working appropriately. Give us a call at 301-960-3247 to book an appointment with us. You’ll be confident knowing your system has your back.
