What's Included in Each Service?
AC Cleaning: Focused Maintenance
An AC cleaning is often misunderstood. While some services, typically offered by duct cleaners or handymen, may involve a superficial "wash" of your system, this is fundamentally different from a true, targeted cleaning designed to remove stubborn dirt and buildup from key components. For your system to genuinely run cleaner, longer, and more efficiently, it's crucial to choose a qualified HVAC professional. Their expertise ensures a comprehensive cleaning that goes far beyond a simple rinse, addressing the core issues that impact performance.
Typically includes:
•Washing the outdoor condenser coil
•Rinsing off debris like cottonwood, dust, and grass
•Light cleaning of accessible indoor components (if included)
Primary goal: Improve airflow and heat transfer so your system may cool more efficiently
Think of it as: A targeted wash, not a full system check
AC Tune-Up: Comprehensive Maintenance
An AC tune-up is a full maintenance service that goes beyond cleaning. It includes inspection, testing, and minor adjustments to ensure your entire system is operating safely and efficiently.
Typically includes:
•Checking refrigerant levels
•Inspecting electrical components (capacitor, contactor, wiring)
•Testing system performance (temperature split, pressures)
•Inspecting blower motor and airflow
•Checking thermostat operation
•Tightening connections and performing safety checks
•Basic coil cleaning (though not always a deep clean)
Primary goal: Ensure your system is running safely, efficiently, and reliably while catching potential issues early
Think of it as: A full system check-up
