We charge $150-250 for a full system tune-up, depending on your equipment type and age. Older systems or dual fuel setups take more time to properly service. The investment typically saves 10-15% on energy bills and prevents costly breakdowns during peak seasons.
Most comprehensive tune-ups take 90 minutes to 2 hours. We test all components, clean coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect ductwork, and calibrate your thermostat. You'll get a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for any needed repairs or upgrades.
Watch for uneven temperatures between rooms, unusual noises during startup, higher than normal energy bills, or frequent cycling on and off. Musty odors or reduced airflow also indicate problems. Catching these early prevents major breakdowns and expensive emergency repairs.
Spring's temperature swings stress your system as it switches between heating and cooling modes. We see more refrigerant leaks and thermostat calibration issues this time of year. The freeze-thaw cycle can also shift ductwork connections in crawl spaces and basements.
Change your air filter every 1-3 months depending on usage and pet hair. Keep outdoor units clear of leaves and debris, and ensure vents aren't blocked by furniture. Check that your thermostat batteries are fresh and programming matches your actual schedule.
