Question 1

How often should central air be serviced in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Once a year for most homes. Homes with pets, heavy use or a rooftop unit exposed to dust benefit from a check every six months.

Question 2

How much is an AC tune-up in LA?

Accepted Answer

On our invoiced Los Angeles maintenance visits over the last 12 months, the middle half ran between $350 and $1,190. A single system without parts is at the low end.

Question 3

Can you service my furnace and AC in the same visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our Los Angeles maintenance visits cover both. Tell us where the furnace is (attic, closet, garage) when you book.

Question 4

Does maintenance include refrigerant?

Accepted Answer

The visit includes checking the charge. If refrigerant is low there is a leak, and we quote finding and fixing it separately rather than just topping off.

Question 5

My system works fine. Is a tune-up still worth it?

Accepted Answer

A tune-up often finds a weak capacitor or clogged drain before it causes a breakdown. Those are small repairs on a working system and much bigger ones when the unit stops.

Question 6

What filter size does my system need?

Accepted Answer

It is printed on the edge of the current filter. If it is missing, our technician measures the slot during the visit.
