Seasonal HVAC Tune-Ups
Seasonal HVAC tune-ups are the focused maintenance visits that prepare a system for the season ahead — cooling before summer, heating before winter. Each tune-up is tailored to the equipment and the season it's heading into.
Common reasons you may need seasonal tune-ups
- Getting ready for the cooling or heating season.
- A system that hasn't been serviced in a while.
- Addressing minor performance changes.
- Building a consistent service history.
Things to consider
- Which season the system is heading into.
- The type and age of the equipment.
- Any comfort or performance notes from last season.
- Whether the system also needs a filter change.

Equipment & system information
A cooling tune-up focuses on the outdoor condenser, indoor coil, and refrigerant side; a heating tune-up focuses on the burners, heat exchanger, and safety controls. Each tune-up addresses the parts that matter most for the season ahead.
For your safety, please don't attempt electrical, gas, or refrigerant repairs yourself. A professional visit is the right way to address these issues.
FAQs
Seasonal Tune-Ups questions
What's the difference between a tune-up and maintenance?
They overlap, but a seasonal tune-up is specifically timed before the heating or cooling season and focused on the components that matter most for that season. Maintenance is the broader, ongoing care that keeps the system running.
Do I need two tune-ups per year?
Many homes benefit from one tune-up before cooling season and one before heating season, since each focuses on different components. We can help you decide what makes sense for your equipment and how you use it.
