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 HVAC system is more intricate than many people realize. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That isn’t a great idea either. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but who’s to say it will last.

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: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it won’t provide the education a technician gets from certified institutions. Once they’ve completed their training and education, our technicians at Thurston Heating & Air Conditioning are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to make an emergency AC repair after some well-intentioned DIY work.
• 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: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at Thurston Heating & Air Conditioning can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. In addition, maintenance on your system helps it run more efficiently, saving you even more.
