If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you’re not alone. While it’s tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner may result in more expenses or damage to your system. Your air conditioner is more complex than it may appear. Even if you don’t know the first thing about air conditioners, 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 that doesn’t mean it will continue that way forever.

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: 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 Woody's Sudden Service are experts in whatever your HVAC system needs. It’s much easier to trust their work now rather than having to face other challenges down the road.
  • Technician tune-ups are more in-depth: During a maintenance appointment, an HVAC technician checks to make sure everything about your system is in working order. They’ll review your thermostat settings, refrigerant level, electrical and moving components and your system controls. They are also able to recognize any symptoms of potential issues.
  • Professional tune-ups can save you money: A professional will have an easier time looking for any potential issues. Continuing to run your unit could cause serious damage that means you’ll need a costly repair or replacement down the road. The professionals at Woody's Sudden Service 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.

There’s still time to schedule your annual maintenance appointment. Woody's Sudden Service will make sure your system is working appropriately. Give us a call at 703-278-2036 to schedule an appointment with us. You’ll be confident knowing your system has your back.
