HVAC specialist Derek Cole explains why a seasonal tune-up matters for your AC. A 21-point tune-up costs less than full maintenance but still cleans the outdoor coil, which gets clogged with grass and debris after summer. He recommends cleaning it at the start and end of cooling season.

A tune-up is a kind of a stripped-down version of a full maintenance. So if you're part of our Comfort Club or if you want a single maintenance, that is like an 84-point checklist we go through. A tune-up is a 21-point checklist, but included in that 21 points is cleaning of the outdoor coil, not the indoor, the outdoor coil. So yes, we clean that as part of the tune-up. Tune-up. Tune-up is a good way if you don't have a maintenance agreement to check everything to make sure you're good to go before the spring, summer, winter when you're going to run the AC and the heat later. So it's a good way to have all those checks done at a pretty substantial discount. And you can also get the outdoor coil cleaned. It's really important, especially after summer because you have all those grass clippings on it. And weed eating, so all that's dirty and needs to be cleaned. So a coil cleaning is good really beginning and ending of the summer, um, and another check to make sure you're good to go.
