If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, you aren’t the only one. While it’s appealing, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your air conditioner is more complex than it may appear. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That could also lead to more expensive results. 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, here are some of the reasons it’s wise to hire an experienced professional to do the maintenance:

• Technicians have the right training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, you probably can’t beat the education an expert gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Colvin's Heating and Cooling are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. 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 comprehensive: 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. 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 Colvin's Heating and Cooling can recognize issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. In addition, maintenance on your system helps it run more efficiently, saving you even more.
