If you have an air conditioner that hasn't worked in some time and you think that it could work again without having to replace it if the right professional looked at, there are some things you want to consider doing. You can try to get the unit fixed at a very low cost, without having to pay the fees of a large heating and cooling company, and without having to pay the increased part prices that the heating and cooling companies charge. Here are some of the things to consider.

Find a Heating and Cooling Education Center 

You want to find a heating and cooling training center, where they need air conditioners, heaters, hot water tanks and other items to practice their skills on. These centers need machines that the students can learn on, and it's easier if you can bring the units to them, instead of having to take the kids to your house. You also can get the work done at an affordable cost, or at no cost at all since you are helping the students develop and learn. 

Purchase Your Own Parts

You want to purchase your own air conditioning parts so you can be sure that you get the lowest price. Have the instructor of the training facility give you the information for the parts you need, and look into the following:

  • Local heating and cooling part distributors
  • Online classified ads to find used working parts
  • Online manufacturers and part carriers

These are just some of the places that should have the parts you can purchase, and then you can take them to the local trade center.

Professional Service with Your Own Parts

If the trade center can't get the job done quickly enough, or if they aren't able to fix the machine, you can have a professional come to your home to do the work. You will have to pay for the labor costs, but if the professionals at the training center already told you what parts you need, you can order them in advance from suppliers like All Appliance Parts of Sarasota.

Just talk with the heating and cooling company and see if they would be willing to let you get your air conditioning parts in advance, or tell them you already have them and that you just need a service call. Fixing the unit can be a lot cheaper if you take the time to find the right people to do it, and if you pay the right price for the parts.
