4 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t DIY Your AC Installation

July 20, 2021

Your HVAC system can be complex, with a lot of moving parts working in conjunction with one another. Because of this complexity, any work done on your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning should be left to professionals. This is especially true when it comes to AC installation. While it may be tempting for those who are used to taking on projects by themselves to try to install their AC unit without any professional help, doing so would be an unnecessary risk. Here are four reasons why you shouldn’t attempt to install your air conditioning unit by yourself. 

Increased Costs

Any mistake made while you’re attempting to install your air conditioning unit can require a costly fix. The responsibility falls on you, which means that you’re the one paying for repairs or new equipment needed when something goes wrong. This isn’t the case if you hire an HVAC professional to handle your AC installation. Any mistake made by an HVAC maintenance expert will cost you nothing.

Safety Issues

Choosing to install an AC unit by yourself could put your health and safety at risk. This is because HVAC systems involve electricity and chemicals that, if handled improperly, can both prove fatal. Attempting any wirework can lead to you mistakenly electrocuting yourself. The same can be said with the chemicals used in HVAC systems. These chemicals are dangerous and should not be handled by untrained individuals.

Effect on Your Home’s Value

Improperly installing your air conditioning unit can decrease your home’s value because of the need for additional repairs and reinstallations. This can prove consequential, especially if you are looking to sell your home. You may not get the value that you think that your home deserves. By having HVAC specialists like ProFlo do the job of installing your AC unit, you can be assured knowing that we have successfully done this numerous times and are more than ready to help you improve your home’s value.
