If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you’re not alone. 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 that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

Whether you’re thinking of 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 necessary training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Kilbourne Heating & AC 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 in-depth: A qualified technician will understand everything that needs to be addressed during a routine maintenance 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: It’s not always easy for homeowners to understand indications of a potential problem. Continuing to run your system could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The experts at Kilbourne Heating & AC can identify 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.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Kilbourne Heating & AC is here to make sure your equipment continues to work as efficiently as possible. Give us a call at 561-287-7071 to book an appointment with us. You’ll be confident knowing your system has your back.
