If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you aren’t the only one. While it’s appealing, 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 you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That isn’t a great idea either. 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 right training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, you probably can’t beat the education a technician gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Street 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 in-depth: 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. As part of the maintenance, they are also on the lookout for any signs of a more serious problem.
• 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 means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The experts at Street Heating and Cooling can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.

There’s still time to schedule your annual maintenance appointment. Street Heating and Cooling will make sure your system is working appropriately. Call us at 605-206-3915 to book an appointment with us. You’ll be confident knowing your system has your back.
