What does an AC tune-up include?

A complete tune-up includes: condenser and evaporator coil cleaning, condensate drain line inspection and clearing, refrigerant level verification, capacitor and contactor testing, electrical connection check, thermostat calibration, and a full system performance test.

When should I schedule a tune-up?

Spring — ideally March through May — before the cooling season begins and before demand makes scheduling harder. The earlier in the season you book, the better your appointment options.

Can a tune-up prevent AC breakdowns in summer?

It significantly reduces the risk. Tune-ups identify developing problems — failing capacitors, low refrigerant from a minor leak, dirty coils — before they cause a full breakdown.

How long does a tune-up take?

A standard residential AC tune-up takes approximately one to two hours.

My system seems to be working fine. Do I still need a tune-up?

Yes. Many developing problems are not noticeable until the system fails under load. A tune-up identifies issues before they become emergency calls and helps maintain efficiency and system life.
