If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s attractive, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your HVAC system is more intricate than many people realize. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about not scheduling your service appointment to reduce costs. That could be another costly mistake. Sure, your unit worked perfectly last year, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

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 right training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, you probably can’t beat the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Northwest Services are experts in all things HVAC. It’s much easier to trust their work now 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 assess 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: 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 professionals at Northwest Services 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.
