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 air conditioner is more complicated than you might think. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. 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 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: While you can learn a lot about your home’s system through your owner’s guide and the internet, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Giordanos Heating and Air Conditioning are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. 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 in-depth: The professionals will take a look at all of the different components during the appointment. They’ll review 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.
• You can see cost-savings after a professional tune-up: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your system could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The experts at Giordanos Heating and Air Conditioning 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.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Giordanos Heating and Air Conditioning will make sure your system is working appropriately.
