AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups in Calgary

A yearly AC tune-up keeps your air conditioner cooling efficiently through Calgary's summer heat. Our licensed technicians clean, inspect and test your system to catch small problems before they become breakdowns.

What's Included in an AC Tune-Up

Outdoor Unit Cleaning

Clean the outdoor condenser coil, clear leaves and debris, and check the fan motor and blade so your AC can release heat properly.

Electrical & Safety Checks

Test the capacitor and contactor, tighten wiring connections, and check the disconnect and breaker. A weak capacitor is one of the most common causes of a summer no-cooling call.

Refrigerant & Performance Testing

Check refrigerant pressures, measure the temperature drop across the coil, test the thermostat, and run the system through a full cooling cycle.

Drain, Filter & Clear Report

Flush the condensate drain and check the filter. We walk you through what we found, and if anything needs an AC repair, you get the price upfront. No surprise charges.

Once a year. The best time is spring, before Calgary's first hot days, so any issues are fixed before you need cooling.

It can. Many manufacturers expect regular professional maintenance to keep the parts warranty valid. A yearly tune-up also gives you a service record if you ever need to make a claim.

Your AC and furnace share the same filter. Check it every month during cooling season and replace it every 1 to 3 months, or sooner if you have pets or allergies. A clogged filter cuts airflow and can freeze the coil. Learn more about indoor air quality.

Warm air from the vents, weak airflow, ice on the lines or coil, water around the indoor unit, short cycling, new noises or a sudden jump in your power bill. If your AC has stopped cooling, book an AC repair instead of a tune-up.

A tune-up is preventive. We clean, inspect and test an air conditioner that is still working. A repair fixes an AC that has stopped cooling or is showing a problem. If your AC isn't working, book an AC repair.

No. Older air conditioners benefit the most from yearly service. If yours is 15 years or older, needs frequent repairs or uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, we'll tell you honestly whether AC replacement makes more sense.
