FAQ

What is included in an AC tune-up?

Coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, capacitor and contactor testing, condensate drain line flush, electrical connection inspection, airflow and temperature split measurement, and thermostat calibration. You get a written report of the readings, so you can see what changed since last year rather than taking our word for it.

Once a year, before summer, at absolute minimum. Heat pumps that heat and cool should be serviced twice. Valley systems run thousands more hours than equipment in milder climates, which is why the manufacturer’s generic schedule under-serves them here.

Check it monthly rather than following the 90-day schedule printed on the box. Dust storms can clog a filter in days, and a restricted filter is the single most common cause of the frozen coils and weak airflow we get called out for. See AC not cooling.

Is an HVAC maintenance plan worth it?

 It is if you would rather replace a failing capacitor in March than a compressor in July. Our Family Plan covers scheduled tune-ups on both HVAC and plumbing, priority scheduling during peak season and discounted repairs. [Insert plan pricing and the no-trip-fee benefit here.

It helps. A clean coil, correct refrigerant charge and proper airflow all reduce the runtime needed to hold a setpoint. The bigger savings usually come from thermostat strategy — pre-cooling before on-peak hours on an APS or SRP time-of-use plan. See thermostat installation.
