When DIY AC Maintenance Doesn’t Count

There are certain HVAC issues that are best left in the hands of experts – if inexperienced homeowners experiment on handling the tasks without professional supervision, the outcome may not be as desirable, or worse, it could lead to domestic accidents.

In dealing with an unexpected HVAC unit breakdown, keep the following reminders in mind:

• inspect the unit and identify and understand the problem
• consult with the brand manufacturer or refer to the product manual
• search for and hire a licensed and certified technician
• keep a record of all the maintenance and repair transactions
• maintain a balance between the budget and service quality
