If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you aren’t the only one. While it’s attractive, trying to tune up your own air conditioner provides the potential for bigger expenses and errors. Your air conditioner is more complex than it may appear. Even if DIY isn’t your thing, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That isn’t a great idea either. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, 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 appropriate training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it’s not going to have the same impact as the education an expert gets from certified institutions. Following their education, our technicians at Fairfield Heating & Cooling are experts in all things HVAC. It’s going to save time by doing it right the first time 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. While they’re checking your system, they’ll be on the lookout for indications of more serious issues.
• You can see cost-savings after a professional tune-up: 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. One of the experts from Fairfield Heating & Cooling can recognize 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.

But don’t worry, you still have time to have a professional come out for your annual maintenance. Fairfield Heating & Cooling will make sure your system is working appropriately. Give us a call at 740-331-4331 to arrange an appointment with us. You can rest easy knowing it’s been professionally maintained and ready to keep you cool.
