Derek Cole walks through what's in a 21-point HVAC tune-up, a cheaper alternative to the full 84-point maintenance service. The outdoor coil gets cleaned to remove grass clippings and debris that pile up over summer, which matters because a clogged coil kills efficiency before the next season starts.

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. 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 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 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 for the beginning and ending of the summer, and another check to make sure you're good to go.
