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 postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That could be another costly mistake. 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 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: While you can learn a lot about your home’s system through your owner’s guide and the internet, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to make costly repairs after.
  • Technician tune-ups are more thorough: A qualified technician will understand everything that needs to be addressed during a routine maintenance 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.
  • You can see cost-savings after a professional tune-up: You might not be able to recognize the early signs of a problem with your air conditioning. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The experts at Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning will make sure your system is working appropriately. Call us at 360-255-5857 to schedule an appointment with us. We’ll make sure your home stays comfortable all through the warmer months.
