Denver’s cottonwood season (May–June) clogs condenser coils fast. One spring tune-up keeps your AC running efficiently all summer — and catches problems before the first 95° day.
| Service | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard AC Tune-Up | $79 | Full inspection, coil cleaning, written report |
| Tune-Up + Filter Upgrade | $99–$129 | Everything above + media filter replacement |
| Service Plan (2 visits/yr) | $149/yr | AC tune-up + furnace tune-up, priority scheduling |
Best time: March–May. Before you need the AC. If a capacitor is weak or refrigerant is low, you’ll know before the summer heat arrives — not when you’re sweating at 10pm on a Saturday.
Does an AC tune-up include refrigerant?
The tune-up includes a refrigerant pressure check. If refrigerant is low, adding it is quoted separately — the cost depends on the refrigerant type (R-22 vs. R-410A vs. R-454B) and amount needed.
How often do I need an AC tune-up?
Once a year, ideally before cooling season. In Denver’s cottonwood-heavy May–June, annual cleaning is especially important for condenser coil efficiency.
My AC is only 2 years old. Do I still need a tune-up?
Yes. Most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance. Skipping service can void warranty coverage on parts and labor.
Spring slots go fast. Get on the schedule before the heat hits.
