Behind the planning guidance

How we checked the prices.

Twelve completed tune-up jobs from June through September 2026 were checked. Routine single-system lines were $129–$155 before discounts. A two-system job had two $129 lines. Bundled repairs and previous discounts do not establish a cheaper current tune-up offer.

12 distinct completed records were reviewed for this service. Subgroups have smaller samples, as described above. This is a selected scope review, not a statistical average. We do not publish customer details. A historical discount or an older price is not a current promotion.

Questions worth asking.

Is a tune-up the same as an AC repair?

No. A tune-up follows a routine inspection and maintenance checklist. If a part has failed or a larger problem is found, we explain the separate repair before proceeding.

What if I have two AC systems?

Tell us when booking. One reviewed visit charged two $129 tune-up lines for two systems. The written service scope should identify every system and any added work.

Should I book a tune-up or a maintenance plan?

A tune-up is a one-time visit. An annual plan includes its stated visit count and benefits. Compare the work and frequency rather than treating a plan price as the price of each included visit.
