If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you aren’t the only one. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. 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 isn’t a great idea either. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but who’s to say it will last.

Whether you’re considering doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, check out the benefits of hiring a professional to check out your machine before you make a decision you could regret:

  • Technicians have the necessary 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 a technician gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Air-Right Energy Design are experts in all things HVAC. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly 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.
  • Tune-ups can save you money in the long run: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at Air-Right Energy Design can identify issues before they become too serious—reducing your expenses. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.

There’s still time to schedule your annual maintenance appointment. Air-Right Energy Design will make sure your system is working appropriately. Call us at 703-260-1148 to schedule an appointment with us. We’ll make sure your home stays comfortable all through the warmer months.
