If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, 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 intricate than many people realize. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That could also lead to more expensive results. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, but things change.

Whether you’re considering doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, here are some of the reasons it’s wise to hire an experienced professional to do the maintenance:

  • Technicians have the appropriate training: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, it won’t provide the education a professional gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Knoechel Heating 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 comprehensive: A qualified technician will understand everything that needs to be addressed during a routine maintenance appointment. They’ll assess 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 air conditioner could cause serious damage , resulting in more expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Knoechel Heating can acknowledge issues before they become too serious—eliminating extra costs to you. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.

There’s still time to schedule your annual maintenance appointment. Knoechel Heating is here to help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should. Give us a call at 724-425-5852 to arrange an appointment with us. You can rest easy knowing it’s been professionally maintained and ready to keep you cool.
