If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, you aren’t the only one. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your machine 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 isn’t a great idea either. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but who’s to say it will last.

Whether you’re contemplating 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: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, you probably can’t beat the education a professional gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Freed Heating & Air Conditioning are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
• Technician tune-ups are more thorough: A qualified technician will understand everything that needs to be addressed during a routine maintenance appointment. They’ll assess 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: 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 Freed Heating & 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.

There’s still time to schedule your annual maintenance appointment. Freed Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should.
