If you’ve considered saving money by performing your own HVAC maintenance, you’re not alone. 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 complicated than you might think. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, 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 things change.

Whether you’re thinking of doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, take a look at some of the benefits with selecting a qualified technician to take a look at your system:

  • Technicians have the appropriate training: While you can learn a lot about your home’s system through your owner’s guide and the internet, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education a technician gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Everest Heating & Cooling are experts in all things HVAC. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly rather than having to make an emergency AC repair after some well-intentioned DIY work.
  • Technician tune-ups are more thorough: 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. As part of the maintenance, they are also on the lookout for any signs of a more serious problem.
  • Tune-ups can save you money in the long run: You might not be able to recognize the early signs of a problem with your air conditioning. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Everest Heating & Cooling can recognize issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. And a properly maintained system will run more efficiently, helping your energy bills.

It’s not too late to schedule your routine maintenance. Everest Heating & Cooling is here to make sure your equipment continues to work as efficiently as possible. Call us at 913-845-9463 to book an appointment with us. You’ll be confident knowing your system has your back.
