If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. Your machine is more complicated than you might think. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, 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 things change.

Whether you’re contemplating 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: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Lanz Furnace and Fireplace are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • 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. While they’re checking your system, they’ll be on the lookout for indications of more serious issues.
  • Tune-ups can save you money in the long run: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at Lanz Furnace and Fireplace 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.
