Er what? You're kidding right? "Don't do anything yourself in case you break something"?
It's exactly this mentality that companies bank on to keep you replacing worthless crap with more worthless crap. Get an instruction manual and a screwdriver and become a bit more self sufficient. Your future self will thank you for it.
- tunap 10y agoWe're not talking about a disposable, your HVAC system has a significantly large price tag. As you contend, doing is learning and self-sufficiency is a virtue, I agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly and practice on systems whose complexity I understand(and/or I've broken and learned through cost & attrition). The potential I speak of is costs; blower motors, controller boards, micro controllers and transformers can be replaced when your common shorts another wire or the previous installer/service guy decided not to wire according to specs due to broken wire(s), retrofit anomolies, myriad of other reasons. Of course, we learn by doing, choose your lessons accordingly.
