Many people turn to DIY solutions to help save money. You can even do some things to your AC system itself, like changing the filters or cleaning parts of the outdoor unit. When it comes to AC system installation, though, you’re better off getting professional installation services for a variety of different reasons.
Warranty Coverage
Probably one of the most obvious reasons that you want to get professional AC installation over doing the installation yourself is warranty coverage. Most AC system manufacturers will not offer warranty coverage to homeowners who install systems themselves. Rather, they require that you have your system installed by a licensed HVAC technician and serviced by a licensed technician every year to maintain that warranty coverage.
Experience and Knowledge
HVAC technicians have to go through years of training in order to obtain a license. Over this time, they’re able to showcase hands-on experience and a plethora of knowledge about the cooling industry and the products that are used. Unless you’re an HVAC contractor, it’s highly unlikely that you hold the same amount of knowledge and expertise.
Trained on Safety
It’s important to remember that AC systems deal with electrical components and a hazardous substance known as refrigerant. If either of these parts is handled incorrectly, it is dangerous to your house and your overall safety. Fortunately, HVAC technicians have the right tools and knowledge to safely handle both the electrical components and the refrigerant for your AC system.
Ensure It Meets Your Needs
There’s nothing worse than wasting your money on an air conditioning system that isn’t adequately sized for your home. A system that is too small won’t produce enough cool air to keep you comfortable. Conversely, one that is too big will constantly be running and wasting your energy. When you hire an HVAC technician to install your AC system, they’ll be sure to match you with a system that meets your home’s needs.
