It’s always best to call in a team of specialists when you want to get your AC unit serviced. While there is some maintenance you can do at home, a full installation can be very dangerous without the right tools and skills. Specialized Mechanical wants to warn our clients about the dangers of a DIY AC installation.
Can You Install An AC Yourself?
While you may have experience with other kinds of installations, performing an air conditioner installation on your own can seriously harm you and your home.
Safety Issues
Installing a cooling system in your home requires the right tools for the job. Specialists wear protective gear to minimize injury on the job. We also ensure that we bring tools that we can use in any situation. Unless you’re a licensed professional, you may not have all the tools that specialists use when installing air conditioning systems.
For example, if your unit is misplaced and causes a refrigerant leak, we can fix that leak before it becomes a serious problem. Our tools are specifically designed for these kinds of installations, so it’s best to rely on us to install your AC unit.
If you try to install your air conditioner by yourself, you might run into many problems. You’ll be working with parts that conduct electricity and hold chemicals for the unit. If they aren’t handled with care, they can lead to serious injuries or death. You don’t want to get electrocuted or mishandle those chemicals when installing your new unit. Prioritize your health by trusting our team with your AC installation.
Damage To Your Air Conditioner
Some people that do their own DIY installations may think they are saving themselves money. This isn’t always the case. If anything goes wrong in your DIY installation, you may have to pay for the repair costs or a full replacement. Some problems you could run into include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Sensor issues
- Plumbing issues
- Tripped circuits
- Short-cycling unit
When you make a mistake with your AC installation, you’ll have to pay for the replacement parts. You could end up saving money by contacting the professionals on our team.
Each system is different and there are many steps to keep in mind when you’re installing your air conditioner. Following guides and tutorials online may lead to further damage to your unit if they aren’t exactly the same make and model. Leave it to the specialists to diagnose the problem and get your unit up and working again.
Your system could also lose its efficiency if not installed correctly. This means an increase in utility costs because your system is trying to work harder to keep up with your home’s cooling demands. If your unit needs additional repairs after your DIY installation, it could also affect your home’s value. Getting a professional installation will keep your home safe and help you avoid additional costs.
