Knowing the Main Benefits of Professional AC Installation

There are a number of tasks in our lives that can often be accomplished on a DIY (do it yourself) basis, but also examples of others where professional service is strongly preferred or even required. One great example here is within air conditioning installation, an area where you should be deferring to the pros for several major reasons.

At Dick Kearsley Service Center, we're here to offer a huge range of AC services for clients around Ogden, Roy, Kaysville, Syracuse and nearby areas, including AC installation and AC repair services for any need. Here are some of the key reasons why professional AC installation is strongly recommended, the risks of attempting your own installation and doing so improperly, and more.

Possible Risks of Improper DIY AC Installation

There are several primary risks you take on when attempting your own AC installation without professional assistance:

• Personal Injury: The first and most obvious risk is personal injury, both during the actual installation process and in terms of potential system malfunctions down the line. Professional technicians have been specifically trained to handle all elements of AC installation safely, while those who don't possess this training are significantly more likely to harm themselves or others.
• System Damage: In addition, proper AC installation requires several specific tools and techniques that DIYers may not have access to. If you attempt to install an air conditioner without these tools or knowledge, you could easily damage the system or certain components within it.
• Increased Costs: Along similar lines, improper installation can lead to issues with your air conditioner that require repairs or replacements down the line. These additional costs, plus the cost of potentially having to hire a professional anyway, will almost always outweigh the initial savings you may have experienced from DIY installation.
• Poor Airflow: Finally, when an AC system is not correctly installed, it will often struggle to circulate air properly and efficiently. This can lead to uneven cooling or hot spots in your home, which is one of the primary reasons for installing a central air conditioner in the first place.

On the flip side, qualified HVAC professionals offer several specific benefits when it comes to AC installation. Let's look at these in our next few sections.

Accuracy in Sizing and Planning

Some of the main benefits of using professionals for an AC installation come before the actual installation even begins. Professionals are trained to take measurements and analyze your home's layout in order to determine the correct size and placement for your new system. If a unit is improperly sized or placed, it can lead to uneven cooling, higher energy bills, and more.

With our team at Dick Kearsley Service Center, you can be sure that we will accurately measure and plan your AC installation for optimal performance and efficiency. We also have the experience necessary to identify any potential issues or obstacles that could affect the installation process. This level of expertise simply cannot be replicated by an untrained individual attempting DIY installation.

Proper Installation Techniques

While some may believe they can follow a manual or online tutorial to properly install an AC system, there are specific techniques that can only be learned through experience. This includes proper placement and securing of the unit, correct installation of electrical components, and more.

Our team at Dick Kearsley Service Center has years of experience in installing various types of air conditioners and will ensure that your system is installed correctly and safely. We also have the necessary tools to complete the job efficiently and effectively.

Warranty Protection

Professional AC installation comes with warranty protection for both labor and parts. If any issues arise with your new system during the warranty period due to improper installation, a professional technician will be able to make necessary repairs or replacements free of charge. Attempting DIY installation will likely void any warranty and leave you responsible for any future repairs or replacements.

In fact, the vast majority of today's AC manufacturers require professional installation in order for the warranty to be valid. So, not only are you risking personal injury and system damage by attempting DIY installation, but you could also be left with no warranty protection at all.

Safety

Another major benefit of professional AC installation is the safety factor. As mentioned earlier, attempting to install an air conditioner without proper training and tools can be dangerous. By choosing a professional service, you are ensuring that the installation process will be handled safely and efficiently.

In short, while DIY projects can save money in certain areas of our lives, air conditioning installation is not one of them. The risks and potential consequences far outweigh any potential savings. Instead, trust in a qualified HVAC professional like Dick Kearsley Service Center for your AC installation needs. Our expertise, experience, and warranty protection will give you peace of mind knowing that your system has been installed correctly and safely for optimal performance and efficiency.
