If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, it’s not as uncommon as you might think. While it’s tempting, 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 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. You may not have experienced any issues over the recent months, but who’s to say it will last.

Whether you’re contemplating 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 right training: Although we have an abundance of information and helpful tips with the internet, it won’t provide the education a technician gets from certified institutions. After going through their training, our technicians at Ilten's are experts in all things HVAC. It’s smarter to have the work done correctly 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 review 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: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause serious damage that ends with expensive repairs or even replacement. The professionals at Ilten's can recognize issues before they become too serious—reducing your expenses. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps keep those utility bills lower.
