If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your machine is more complex than it may appear. 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. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, 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 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 Stanford Heating & Cooling 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 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: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement.
