If you are, then you are much brighter than the average consumer. The simple truth is that the majority of HVAC system failures that we see could have been avoided if an air conditioning tune-up had been performed by a qualified technician.
Today’s cooling systems, whether you are talking about mini-splits, heat pumps, package units, geothermal systems, or any other type of cooling system, are very complicated. They are made up of many subsystems that are, in turn manufactured from any number of individual parts. All of these parts are interdependent. This means that if one part weakens, it places the entire unit under strain and causes undue wear on other parts. Naturally, as other parts weaken, the load on the system increases and what started as a minor problem requiring a small part to remedy grows into a major issue.
Eventually, what would have been a small repair becomes a system failure
that costs big money to fix.
