If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your air conditioner is more complicated than you might think. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could be another costly mistake. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

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 right 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 a professional gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Speed Air are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • Technician tune-ups are more thorough: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the appointment. They’ll check 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 air conditioner could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Speed Air can recognize issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Speed Air is here to make sure your equipment continues to work as efficiently as possible.
