If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you’re not alone. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your air conditioner is more intricate than many people realize. 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. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but things change.

Whether you’re considering 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 appropriate training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education a technician gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Luikart Heating & Cooling are experts in everything related to heating and air conditioning. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • 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 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.
  • 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. One of the experts from Luikart Heating & Cooling 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.

There’s still time to schedule your annual maintenance appointment. Luikart Heating & Cooling is here to help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should. Call us at 740-344-5497 to schedule an appointment with us. You’ll be confident knowing your system has your back.
