When faced with AC repairs, it may be tempting to skip the service visit and repair the equipment yourself. Doing so is generally a bad idea for anything more complex than changing the air filter or flipping a breaker switch. When your Clayton, GA air conditioner needs repairs, reach out to a professional HVAC technician. It’s the safest way to fix issues and protect yourself from the potential risks of do-it-yourself AC repairs.
Do-It-Yourself AC Repairs Could Cancel Out Your Warranty
In most cases, your AC warranty outlines requirements to maintain coverage for your system. Investing in regular preventive maintenance is often one of those requirements. If you attempt to perform repairs on your own or fail to schedule maintenance checks, you lose the legal right to receive coverage under your warranty from the manufacturer. In other words, you’ll pay out of pocket to cover the additional expenses.
DIY Could Result in Further Damages
Air conditioners are complex systems requiring specialized training to repair. Most HVAC technicians undergo extensive apprenticeships or have completed courses and certifications. The coursework and field experience allow them to complete repairs without causing added damage.
DIY Air Conditioning Repairs Could Put You at Risk
Your air conditioner is connected to the electrical wiring inside your home. The refrigerants used to cool your indoor air can also be hazardous to you and others. If you don’t have specialized expertise, you could be at risk of getting electrocuted or, worse, become exposed to dangerous gases that land you in the emergency room.
