Skip a tune-up and you'll typically pay for it in July with a $1,200 capacitor + contactor + coil-clean emergency call. A 45-minute spring tune-up catches every one of those issues for $79. We're not selling you a 'club' or a subscription — we're selling 45 minutes of preventive work that genuinely pays for itself.
Our 21-Point Tune-Up Checklist
- Inspect and clean outdoor condenser coil
- Inspect indoor evaporator coil
- Test capacitor microfarads (not just 'looks fine')
- Test contactor pitting and amperage draw
- Inspect compressor amp draw and start-up behavior
- Verify refrigerant subcool / superheat
- Inspect and tighten all electrical connections
- Test thermostat calibration
- Lubricate motor bearings (where applicable)
- Inspect blower wheel for dust loading
- Inspect blower motor amp draw
- Check condensate drain — flush and treat
- Verify float switch operation
- Inspect evaporator pan for rust / standing water
- Measure supply air temp at multiple registers
- Measure return air temp
- Calculate temperature split (should be 16–22°F)
- Inspect ductwork for visible leaks at the air handler
- Verify air filter condition + correct sizing
- Inspect outdoor disconnect and whip
- Provide written report with all measurements
Why Texas Homes Need Spring + Fall Service
Texas runs the AC harder than almost any state in the country. By August, an unmaintained system has lost roughly 5% efficiency from a single year of dust accumulation on the coil. Catch it in March with a coil cleaning and you've added two years to the system's life. Most major repairs we get called for in July could have been prevented in March for under $200.
Maintenance Plans
Optional, not required. Our membership plan ($16/month) includes spring + fall tune-ups, 15% off any repairs, no overtime fees on emergency calls, and front-of-line scheduling during heat waves. If you'd rather just call us once a year and pay per visit, that's fine too.
Same-Day AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups — Mabank, Cedar Creek Lake & DFW

We dispatch same-day for most ac maintenance & tune-ups calls across our entire service area — Mabank, Gun Barrel City, Seven Points, Kemp, Tool, Athens, Kaufman, and the full Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex including Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Arlington, Mesquite, Garland, and Rockwall. A real human answers the line 24/7 — usually Eric, Brad, or a senior tech, never a call center. Whether you searched for "ac maintenance & tune-ups", "air conditioning maintenance & tune-ups", "HVAC contractor near me", or "best AC company [your city] TX", we cover it — veteran-owned, locally operated, never acquired by private equity.
Brand-Name HVAC Equipment We Service
We service every major HVAC brand on the market across our Mabank and DFW service area: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Amana, York, Bryant, American Standard, Heil, Daikin, Mitsubishi. Whether your existing equipment is 5 years old or 20, whether it's a high-end inverter system or a builder-grade base model, we approach the work the same way — honest diagnostic, flat-rate written quote, repair or install done right the first time.
Don't see your equipment brand listed? Call anyway. The HVAC industry only has a handful of core compressor and heat-exchanger manufacturers behind the dozens of consumer-facing labels — if it's a residential or light-commercial system, we likely service it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule my tune-up?
AC tune-up: March or April. Heating: October. We send a reminder text if you opt in.
Does maintenance really extend system life?
Yes — measurably. The average residential AC dies between year 12–15 in Texas. With consistent annual maintenance, expect 18–22 years from quality equipment.
Do I need a tune-up if my system is brand new?
Yes. Manufacturer warranties on most major brands require documented annual maintenance to remain valid.
