While we have no problems with simple DIY projects like creating a birdhouse or using that old jar for something new, you should leave HVAC problems to the HVAC technicians. Why? A blunder on your DIY project involving your AC unit can be financially catastrophic. Still need more convincing? Let the Kissimmee air conditioning installation technicians at All Temp tell you why some DIY projects aren’t that great of an idea.
- Dangerous repairs: There’s a reason that HVAC technicians are certified to deal with your unit. These units run with a large amount of voltage electricity. Not only that, but chemicals and refrigerants that heat and cool your unit can be deadly if they aren’t handled correctly. The correct training and equipment needed to deal with HVAC systems are mandatory while dealing with these units.
- Specialized tools: We’re not saying your toolbox isn’t impressive, but without the correct tools, you may be doing more damage than repair. Professional tools are used to treat your HVAC system without damaging any components in the process.
- Small problems may be bigger than you think: Sure, a small problem may seem easy to treat, but what could’ve caused that small problem? Chances are that it may be a signal of a much larger HVAC problem. This large problem can go unnoticed to the untrained eye, which could result in a larger repair bill.
- Replacing your HVAC unit: Your home needs to be measured to determine the correct size for your unit. A unit that’s too large can cause premature wear and tear due to short-cycling. If it’s smaller than the correct size, you’ll hear your HVAC unit running constantly, trying to keep your home at the correct temperature.
This being said, there are some things you may do to keep your air conditioning system running at optimal condition. Change your air conditioning filter if you notice that it’s dirty. If you notice an air conditioning problem that’s out of your hands, we advise you to not DIY.
