When something goes wrong with an air conditioner or furnace, a homeowner’s first thought may be to call for an HVAC technician as soon as possible. Hiring a technician can be an expensive prospect, however. Before reaching for a phone, homeowners can check for some common problems they may be able to solve without hiring a technician.
