4 Reasons To Hire An HVAC Professional (Instead Of A Jack-Of-All-Trades Handyman)
When You Live In An Area With Hot, Humid Summers And Icy Cold Winters, You Rely On Your Hvac System Year Round.
In Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes and the surrounding areas, having a reliable heating and cooling system for your home is not optional. The health, safety, and comfort of your family and your home depend on it. You need to have the right HVAC system for the job, and it needs to be cared for by people who know what they are doing.
Choosing the right people to complete the installation, maintenance and repairs for your furnace, air conditioner, heat pumps and other heating and cooling systems is a smart choice you will be happy you made. For some home maintenance tasks like cleaning your rain gutters or repairing a wobbly fence, a handyman is a great choice. For others, like HVAC maintenance and repairs, you need to hire a professional.
4 Reasons To Hire An HVAC Professional
ONE.
HVAC systems are complex.
Caring for an HVAC system requires specific knowledge, tools and skills—something your average jack-of-all-trades doesn’t have. Whether it’s your furnace or your air conditioner, HVAC systems rely on electricity, pressurized refrigerants, gas lines, and other specialized components to do their job. To work on any of these components safely requires training, and in many cases certifications. Hiring a handyman might save you some money in the short term, but if they make a mistake it could have serious consequences for your HVAC equipment and compromise the safety of your home and family.
TWO.
Energy Efficiency and Performance.
When your HVAC system is the right fit for your space and is properly installed, it will work better, last longer, and run more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills. HVAC professionals can calculate the right size of HVAC system to meet your needs and install it seamlessly so you don’t have to worry about performance or energy efficiency.
THREE.
Warranty Protection.
Whether it’s a furnace, a boiler, or an air conditioner, HVAC system equipment is an investment—and you need to protect your investments. Many HVAC manufacturers provide warranties for the equipment you purchase. Make sure to read the fine print. You will find that most warranties explicitly state that installation, maintenance, or repairs MUST be performed by a licensed professional, or the equipment warranty will be void.
FOUR.
Safety and Peace of Mind.
Whether you have electric, oil or propane-run HVAC equipment, safety has to come first. Carbon monoxide, gas leaks, electrical hazards, and refrigerant leaks are all very real problems that arise with an HVAC system, especially when it is not being maintained by a professional who knows what they are doing. An HVAC expert has safety procedures in place to handle these materials and systems and is trained to prevent, spot, and repair issues if any are found. They can ensure that any work completed meets your local building and safety regulations so you can relax, knowing your home and family have a safe and effective heating or cooling system in place.
