Why a DIY Air Conditioning Installation could cost more

Nina Stevens February 22, 2020

Theoretically, saving money is doing a DIY project rather than hiring a pro to do it for you. However, in the real world, things often do not work out that way. It’s because there are projects that are more complicated than they seem to require money or time or both when you go the DIY route.

One of the DIY projects that many people often underestimate is the air conditioning installation. Homeowners think that DIY air conditioning installation cannot only save hundreds of dollars, but also a quick project taking an hour or two to complete.

Installing an air conditioner requires a lot of things to consider. DIY installation is more likely to cost more in the end than hiring a professional to do it properly. Here’s why:

A lot of things can go wrong during the installation

Many things can go wrong with a DIY air conditioning installation. Hiring a pro can handle complications happening during the installation. Not having hands-on experience in air conditioning installation can make the process frustrating and dangerous.

The air conditioner will not work as well if the installation is not done properly. Troubleshooting the issue can be a challenging if not, an almost impossible task to perform. This scenario leaves you no choice but to call for professional help to unravel your DIY installation. Often, a professional undoing your mistakes could cost more than having the installation handled by a pro in the first place.

Leaks are likely to happen

A leak is an issue likely to happen with a DIY air conditioning installation. An improperly installed air conditioning unit can make a leak happen. A leak can drastically reduce the efficiency and performance of an air conditioning unit.

The least issue a leak can do is a weak functioning air conditioner. At its worst, undetected leak damage can cause a lot of damage to the air conditioning unit. When that happens, repairing the leak will need professional help. You end up paying more for the damage that could have been avoided from happening with the pro installation.

Installing the unit in the wrong location

An air conditioning unit’s efficiency can be compromised when it is installed in the wrong location. Installing the air conditioner in the right location is the best way to save on your electric bills especially during the hottest season. Costly utility bills are what you have to put up with for a long time when the unit is installed in the wrong location. Better leave it to the pro to find the best location to install your air conditioning unit.

Higher insurance rates

Air conditioning units that are not professionally installed can count against you when insuring your home. Insurance companies tend to raise the insurance coverage with homes that did not have a pro install their air conditioning systems. This is because of the high-risk involved with a DIY installation of air conditioning systems.

Most insurance companies also tend to deny insurance coverage for homes with a DIY installation of split type air conditioning systems.

Do companies just install air conditioning? It’s not that expensive to hire a pro to install the air conditioning systems in your home. Doing it this way saves you money, time, and stress. Call professional air conditioning installers to make sure that you have a functional and efficient system.
