What Is AC Tune-Up?
An AC tune-up is a systematic cleaning and testing service covering coils, electrical components, refrigerant levels, airflow, and thermostat calibration to restore and verify peak system performance.
Why Choose Peak HVAC Solutions for AC Tune-Up
Why Choose Us

You see the actual measurements: refrigerant pressures, capacitor ratings, temperature splits, and airflow readings, so you have documented proof of your system's condition and a baseline for future visits.
Common AC Tune-Up Scenarios
Pre-Summer Preparation
Scheduling a tune-up in April or May ensures your system is tested and corrected before Salt Lake City's first heat wave makes HVAC technicians extremely difficult to reach.
Higher Than Expected Bills
A dirty condenser coil or low refrigerant charge forces the compressor to run longer cycles, often adding $30 to $60 per month to Salt Lake Valley summer utility bills.
Post-Winter Startup Check
AC systems that sit idle through Salt Lake's cold winters can develop capacitor degradation, pest intrusion in outdoor units, or refrigerant migration that a spring tune-up catches early.
Our AC Tune-Up Process
Outdoor Unit Service
We rinse the condenser coil, check and straighten fins, inspect the fan blade and motor, measure compressor amp draw, and clear any debris from inside the cabinet.
Indoor Unit Inspection
We inspect the evaporator coil, measure static pressure in the duct system, check the condensate drain for blockage, and verify the blower wheel is clean and spinning freely.
Electrical and Refrigerant Testing
We test capacitor microfarad ratings, check contactor condition, verify refrigerant pressures against manufacturer specifications, and measure supply and return air temperature difference.
Report and Recommendations
We provide a written checklist of every measurement taken, note any components showing early wear, and explain any recommended repairs with honest cost estimates before leaving.
AC Tune-Up - Frequently Asked Questions
April is ideal for Salt Lake Valley homeowners. The weather is still mild, technician availability is high, and any issues found can be repaired before the first serious heat arrives. May works well too, but availability narrows as summer approaches and calls increase.
Our tune-up includes measured refrigerant pressure checks, capacitor load testing with a meter, condenser coil cleaning with water rinse, condensate drain flush, temperature split measurement, and a written report of every reading taken during the visit.
Yes, measurably. A clean condenser coil can improve system efficiency by 10 to 15 percent according to Department of Energy data. In Salt Lake City where AC runs three to four months heavily, that efficiency gain adds up to real dollar savings on Rocky Mountain Power bills.
Once per year before the cooling season is the standard recommendation for Salt Lake Valley homes. Systems running in areas with heavy cottonwood seed or near agricultural fields in the south valley may benefit from a mid-season coil rinse as well.
