If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, you’re not alone. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your HVAC system is more complex than it may appear. 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 be another costly mistake. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, but who’s to say it will last.

Whether you’re contemplating 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, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at May's Heating & Air are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s going to save time by doing it right the first time rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • Technician tune-ups are more in-depth: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the appointment. They’ll assess your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. As part of the maintenance, they are also on the lookout for any signs of a more serious problem.
  • 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 air conditioner could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at May's Heating & Air 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.
