When to Schedule

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.

Signs Your AC Needs Attention Now

  • AC runs but rooms aren’t reaching set temperature
  • Higher electric bills compared to last summer
  • AC short-cycles (turns on and off rapidly)
  • Ice forming on refrigerant lines or coil
  • It’s been more than a year since the last service

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Early. 🔥

Don't wait 'til it's too late. When the first cold snap hits, everybody calls at once — and a dead furnace on a Sunday night costs a whole lot more than a tune-up. We're booking September furnace checkups now, while the calendar is still wide open.
