Why It Matters for Your Warranty
Tune-Up vs. Diagnostic
A tune-up is preventive care on a system that is working. A diagnostic is for a system that has stopped working: the technician finds the failed part and gives a written repair quote. The residential diagnostic is $79, waived if we do the repair.
What You Can Do Between Visits
- Change or clean filters on the schedule for your filter type.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and debris.
- Make sure supply and return vents are not blocked by furniture.
- Test carbon monoxide alarms when you change clocks.
Carrier, Bosch and Mitsubishi require proof of annual professional maintenance to honor their 10-year parts warranties. Book AC tune-ups in March through May and furnace tune-ups in September through November. Maintenance plans · book online
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should HVAC be tuned up?
Once a year per system. Heat pumps and mini-splits run year-round, so annual maintenance checks both heating and cooling modes.
Are filters included?
Replacement filters are not included in the tune-up price. If you have filters on hand, we install them at no extra charge.
Do you tune up every brand?
Yes. We service all brands.
Can a tune-up find problems early?
Yes. Worn capacitors, dirty flame sensors and low refrigerant often show up during a tune-up before they cause a breakdown. You get written findings before any repair is recommended.
