A recent ac maintenance & tune-ups call
Recent Portland job: system running but bills 30% higher than last year in a any age home. We deep coil clean during tune-up, system returned to nameplate efficiency after diagnosing dirty condenser coil reducing heat transfer by 18%. Cost ran $1450 — pretty middle-of-the-road for that fix.
Scope of work
An annual tune-up extends system life by 20-40% on average. The math: $129 tune-up vs. $7,000+ premature replacement. The number works out.
Standard 14-point AC tune-up: refrigerant pressures, electrical connections, capacitor microfarads, condenser coil clean, evaporator coil inspection, drain line clear, blower amp draw, contactor inspection, thermostat calibration check, refrigerant line insulation, condensate pump test, filter check, system temperature differential, and full operational check.
Maintenance plans run $189-$289/year and include two visits (spring AC, fall heating). Plan members get priority scheduling and 15% off any repairs.
Typical investment
Single AC tune-up runs $130 – $190. Single furnace tune-up runs $130 – $190. Annual maintenance plan (2 visits) runs $190 – $290. Premium plan (2 visits + priority + 15% off repairs) runs $290 – $430.
