If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you aren’t the only one. 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 aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That isn’t a great idea either. 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 appropriate training: While you can learn a lot about your home’s system through your owner’s guide and the internet, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Connolly Electric & Mechanical are experts in all things HVAC. 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 thorough: During a maintenance appointment, an HVAC technician checks to make sure everything about your system is in working order. 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.
  • Professional tune-ups can save you money: You might not be able to recognize the early signs of a problem with your air conditioning. 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 Connolly Electric & Mechanical can identify 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.

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