Don’t Cut Corners on These HVAC Repairs. Call the Pros.

Your HVAC system isn’t working? No worries. You can surely fix the problem. No need to call pros and spend all that money, right? Wrong! Unless you’ve been professionally trained in HVAC repair, you shouldn’t attempt DIY HVAC service. Here’s why you should call pros instead.

HVAC Repair Dangers

Your furnace runs on natural gas, and your AC runs on refrigerant, both of which will take over your home’s air if there’s a leak — and both of which are harmful. If you’re not careful, the gas could even ignite and explode.

You also run the risk of doing serious damage. Unless you know what you’re doing, a minor repair job can quickly turn into a more serious and more expensive problem. If there’s a leak or electrical surge at the wrong time, you could end up with damage to your home as well. Suddenly, the money you tried to save with a DIY job has necessitated much more expensive and involved repairs. Save yourself the hassle and call the pros from the beginning.

Monetary Issues

If your HVAC system is still under warranty or if you have a maintenance agreement, it likely says repairs must be performed by a licensed HVAC professional. If you don’t call pros, it can void the agreement, sticking you with not just that repair bill but every other repair bill for the life of your system.

DIY HVAC repair jobs can also make it difficult to get homeowner’s insurance and may even keep you from selling your home in the future. You need to be able to prove that your system has been kept in good repair and regularly inspected. If you don’t call pros to handle your HVAC needs, it sends the message that your system hasn’t been properly maintained.

Even if the job seems simple, don’t try to make HVAC repairs yourself. Calling in an expert will make your life so much easier.
