How Much Does AC Maintenance Cost?

An AC tune-up runs $80 to $200 here. The visit that matters cleans the condenser coil and actually measures the charge — not just swaps a filter.

The short answer

$80–$200

A standard cooling tune-up sits at the low end. A badly fouled outdoor coil, or pairing it with the furnace visit, moves it up.

Typical industry ranges for Western Washington — not a quote. Your exact price comes upfront, before any work starts, and you approve it first.

What moves the price

1

Coil condition

A condenser packed with cottonwood and grass clippings takes real time to clean. That single job is most of what a tune-up buys you in efficiency.

2

Whether the charge gets measured

Reading superheat and subcooling is how a slow refrigerant leak gets caught in spring instead of in the first heat wave.

3

One system or two

Adding the furnace to the same visit costs less than booking two separate trips.

4

Timing

The first hot week of the year is when every shop in the county is booked. Spring maintenance is cheaper and easier to schedule.

Get it done before the heat wave.

Spring AC maintenance is a normal appointment. July is an emergency one. Exact price upfront.

Quick answers

What does an AC tune-up actually include?

Condenser coil cleaning, refrigerant charge measured, capacitor and contactor tested, condensate drain cleared, airflow and temperature split checked, and the electrical connections tightened.

How often does an AC need it?

Once a year, in spring. A heat pump that cools and heats gets looked at twice.

Will it lower my power bill?

A dirty coil and a low charge both make the system run longer for the same cooling. Cleaning and correcting them is the part of a tune-up you actually feel.
