Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I schedule an AC tune-up?

A: Annual maintenance, ideally each spring before peak cooling season, ensures optimal performance and helps avoid mid-summer interruptions.

Q: What does it cost to tune up an air conditioner in Carnegie?

A: Tune-up pricing varies by system size and configuration. During your service visit, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of all tasks and any recommended repairs.

Q: Can I perform these maintenance tasks myself?

A: While basic filter changes are homeowner-friendly, specialized tasks—coil cleaning, refrigerant checks and electrical inspections—require certified technicians and proper tools to ensure safety and compliance.

Q: What is the “$5,000 rule”?

A: This guideline suggests that if a repair costs more than 50% of the system’s replacement value—often around $5,000 for a mid-efficiency split system—replacement may be more cost-effective. Our technicians provide honest assessments based on system age, repair history and performance.

Q: How long does a tune-up take?

A: Most comprehensive tune-ups require 60–90 minutes, depending on system condition and size. Time is allocated for both hands-on servicing and thorough performance testing.
