When Should You Call For HVAC Repair?

Jul 8

From HGTV to Pinterest, for DIY home improvement tips, you don't have to look far. When it comes to the most significant systems of your home, however, how do you know when you can tackle a project yourself and when it's time to call a professional? Although we can't speak for every sector, we've seen a lot of DIY HVAC projects go wrong. That's why, when you need to call the experts, we have put together a list of situations.

 

When to Call an HVAC Technician

While you may be able to handle changing your air filter and other simple maintenance tasks, such as keeping your system clean, there are other times when you want to call an HVAC technician who has the knowledge and ability to safely solve your HVAC problems. When it's time to call in the pros, here are just a few situations:

 

You’re having problems with your system.

At the first sign of trouble with your heating and cooling system, it is best to call in a trained HVAC technician. Although homeowners can do some simple troubleshooting on their own, there are some HVAC problems that are best left to the experts, including when an indoor unit has a water leak, an outdoor unit will not shut down, the indoor fan continues to run, or the outdoor unit makes loud and weird noises. Calling a professional HVAC technician will ensure that your repair is done for the first time safely and correctly, reducing the risk of needing more expensive repairs down the road.

 

You need an annual tune-up.

Although most homeowners are more than capable of handling basic HVAC maintenance on their own, for your annual tune-up, we still recommend you call an HVAC professional. The technician will inspect the leaks and faulty wiring of your system as well as check the level of refrigerant charge and ensure that your system is running efficiently. This will help prolong the life of your unit and save you money in the long run, as worn parts and minor repair needs can often be identified by a trained HVAC tech before they turn into costly repairs.

 

You are buying a new home or expanding your current home.

A trained HVAC technician knows how to recommend the heating and cooling system of the right size for your home. It requires calculations and knowledge of the HVAC systems and products available to find the right size system. This is best left to the experts because it will cause extra wear and tear to buy a system that is too small, which can result in a limited lifespan. Similarly, buying an oversized unit can cause unnecessary equipment stress as well as increase your energy costs. Consulting with an experienced HVAC tech is the best way to make sure you buy the correct sized HVAC system for your new home or expansion.
