If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you’re not alone. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. Your machine is more complicated than you might think. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could also lead to more expensive results. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but who’s to say it will last.

Whether you’re thinking of 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 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 a professional gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at May's Heating & Air are experts in all things HVAC. It’s going to save time by doing it right the first time 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 assess your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. While they’re checking your system, they’ll be on the lookout for indications of more serious issues.
  • Tune-ups can save you money in the long run: 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 means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. One of the experts from May's Heating & Air can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.
