DIY vs professional HVAC servicing — when to try small fixes and when to call pros
Hey everyone, I’ve been having some weird noises coming from my AC lately, like a faint rattling whenever it turns on. I tried changing the filter and cleaning the vents, but it didn’t fully go away. I’m torn between trying a few more small fixes myself or just calling someone. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this and managed to fix it on their own, or is it usually better to get a pro?

I had something similar last summer—my heater started making a humming sound and barely warmed the house. I tried checking the thermostat and even swapped the batteries, but it didn’t help. Eventually, I decided it was time to call a professional.

Saved me a ton of headaches.
