Should You DIY Air Conditioning Installation?

Written on: March 27, 2023

Just say no to DIY AC installs

It may be tempting to try to do an air conditioning installation yourself, to save on costs. After all, new air conditioning systems can be expensive and we understand that every dollar adds up. That’s why we warn our customers about the costly hazards that can come with DIY attempts. The truth is, DIY installation projects often end up costing homeowners more in the long-run-Especially if the installation goes badly and needs to be fixed. Read on to learn more about why you will want to steer clear of DIY AC installation and how you can save big on your new equipment, without starting off on the wrong foot or running the risk of damaging your new AC system.

Installation by the pros: Why it matters!

You’ll want a proper installation by trained professionals. This is not the area to try to cut corners or DIY. Installation can be more complex than it seems, and sloppy work can cause serious damage to your equipment. With Anyzek, your new air conditioning system will be expertly and safely installed by our trained, experienced service technicians who know how to handle any obstacles that may arise.

DIY AC installation: How bad can it be?

Air conditioning installation may sound like it’s not a big deal, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. It’s complicated and involves complex equipment and hookups that must be completed “just so.” Saving on installation costs simply isn’t worth the risk of the added costs you’ll see in the quite likely event your DIY installation isn’t perfect. It happens so often, the DIY scenarios have earned their own categories! You’ll want to avoid:

• The total choke: You tried your best, but your beautiful new equipment will be an expensive – if shiny – abstract art installation if you can’t get it to cool your home as intended.
• The slow burn: Your neighbor’s kid who never finished air conditioning school knows some of the basics, and he’s got your new AC up and running – sort of. It cools adequately for now, but the motor might burn out before the summer’s up if he mis-installed even a minor part.
• The ticking time bomb: Even if your DIY installation seems to go off without a hitch and cools adequately, it could be rife with safety hazards that arise from cutting corners.
