If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s appealing, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your HVAC system is more intricate than many people realize. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That isn’t a great idea either. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

Whether you’re thinking of doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, here are some of the reasons it’s wise to hire an experienced professional to do the maintenance:

• 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’s not going to have the same impact as the education a technician gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning are experts in all things HVAC. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly 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 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.
• 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 air conditioner could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning can acknowledge 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. Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning will make sure your system is working appropriately.
