When it’s the middle of summer, and the sun’s blazing, you don’t want your AC to call it quits. If this happens, you might be tempted to grab a few tools and try to fix it yourself. But it’s important to know what you’re getting into and what might be better left to a professional. At Service Hero, we’ve seen plenty of homeowners try their hand at air conditioning repair, and while some issues are DIY-friendly, others can quickly turn into bigger headaches. So, whether you're determined to tackle this yourself or just want to know more before deciding, keep reading for information that can help you make the best choice.
It was so easy to schedule this appointment online and the service happened quickly. I sent my online request on Friday night and Henry was at my door first thing Saturday morning. Henry was courteous, polite, and friendly and explained what needed to be done. The first repair made didn’t 100% solve our toilet issue, so he made sure to recheck everything and ended up replacing a part that he needed to go out and get. Henry was respectful of my time and my home and I appreciate that. Will definitely use this company again!
Joe was amazing.Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He inspected the a/c system and diagnosed several issues that needed to be addressed. He took care of them and performed several tests to make sure everything worked well.I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. Strongly recommended.
Tanner showed up on time. He explained all our options and made sure we understood what he was going to do. Fast, efficient and did a good job of cleaning up when he finished. Saved the day . . .
You might not think about your AC until it stops working, but routine maintenance can help prevent breakdowns and repairs. One of the simplest things you can do is replace the air filter every few months. When filters get clogged with dust and debris, your system works harder, which can lead to wear and tear or even breakdowns. It's a quick and affordable task that can make a huge difference in your AC’s lifespan. If you’re someone who tends to forget these things, set a reminder on your phone. If you've skipped maintenance for too long and things are acting up, it might be time to consider calling an HVAC specialist to take a deeper look.
The condenser unit, which is the big box sitting outside your house, is a critical part of your air conditioner. Over time, dirt, leaves, and other kinds of debris can build up, making it harder for your AC to cool your home. Fortunately, cleaning the condenser is a task you can handle with a bit of patience. Start by shutting off the power to the unit. Safety first! You’ll want to remove any debris sitting on top or around the unit. Then, use a garden hose to gently rinse the fins, which are the metal slats on the sides. Be careful, though. Using too much pressure can damage them, which would lead to more problems than you started with. A clean condenser can help your AC run more efficiently and last longer, but if you notice any odd sounds or find parts that look damaged, it’s probably best to let an HVAC company step in before things get worse.

Refrigerant is one area where DIY won’t cut it. If your AC isn’t cooling like it used to, low refrigerant could be the culprit. However, handling refrigerant is not as simple as topping off your car’s oil. Refrigerant levels need to be exact, and adding too much or too little can harm your system. Refrigerants are chemicals that require careful handling as well, and you don’t want to risk exposure or damage to the environment. If you suspect refrigerant issues, it’s time to call in an HVAC specialist. Attempting to fix a refrigerant problem yourself could end up costing you more in the long run. A qualified pro will handle it safely and make sure there are no leaks causing the low levels.
If you’ve cleaned your unit and checked the filter, but your AC still isn’t doing its job, the issue could be hiding in your ductwork. Even if your air conditioner is running perfectly, damaged or leaky ducts can prevent cool air from reaching your rooms. Duct inspections aren’t the easiest DIY task, but you can start by checking for obvious signs of leaks or loose connections where the ducts meet vents. Small gaps can often be sealed with metal tape, but if there are serious issues, like large leaks or blockages, it's a job for an HVAC company. A professional can ensure that your ducts are properly sealed and insulated to keep your home cool and your energy bills low.
While there are plenty of AC tasks that can be tackled on your own, it’s important to know your limits. Sometimes, what seems like a small issue can be a symptom of something larger, and DIY repairs can end up making things worse. If you're ever unsure about what’s going on with your AC, it's better to call a professional than to gamble with your comfort and wallet. Working with an HVAC company can save you time, stress, and money in the long run. They have the tools and knowledge to fix issues that may not be obvious to those with an untrained eye.
