In most cases, definitely not. Cooling systems today are more complicated to service and usually require expert attention in order to comply with federal regulations, such as the Clean Air Act which prohibits releasing refrigerants into the atmosphere. An EPA-certified air conditioning contractor or service technician should be called at the first sign of trouble.

Performing DIY HVAC repair can not only cost you money in the long run by having experts fix what damage you may have caused, but it also voids your AC warranty, shortens the lifespan of your system, and puts yours and your household’s health and safety at risk.
