If you’ve ever considered doing your own air conditioner maintenance to save money, you’re not alone. While it’s attractive, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your air conditioner is more intricate than many people realize. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you might be thinking about postponing your yearly appointment to avoid the extra cost. That isn’t a great idea either. Maybe you haven’t had any challenges with your system recently, but that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

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 necessary training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, you probably can’t beat the education an expert gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Childress Heating & AC are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. 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: 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.
  • 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 that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The professionals at Childress Heating & AC can identify issues before they become too serious—saving you money in the end. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.

It’s not too late to schedule your routine maintenance. Childress Heating & AC is here to help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should. Give us a call at 540-675-4306 to arrange an appointment with us. You can rest easy knowing it’s been professionally maintained and ready to keep you cool.
