Why DIY HVAC Repairs are a Bad Idea

Don’t Put Yourself and Your Home at Risk

It can be tempting to try to avoid the hassle of hiring an HVAC technician every time your comfort is impacted by a minor issue with your heater or air conditioner, but when it comes to your HVAC equipment, DIY solutions won’t end well. Amateur HVAC fixes simply won’t get you the results you need, and you may even put in a lot of work only to find that you’ve “fixed” the wrong component! Additionally, without the proper skills and equipment, HVAC repairs can pose a serious risk to you and your family. Untrained HVAC repairs can cause injuries and further damage that will cost you a lot more than a professional repair.

DIY HVAC Repairs Can Lead to:

• Electrical injuries
• Exposure to harmful chemicals like freon and carbon monoxide
• Burns from overheated components
• Loss of warranty
• Damaging essential components
• And other disasters
