A professional AC tune-up extends your system life by 5 to 7 years, lowers your SCE bill by 15-20%, and catches small problems before they become $1,500 emergency calls. Aerosphere offers seasonal AC tune-ups across Orange County with a 21-point inspection process performed by C20-licensed HVAC technicians, not part-time helpers.
Services We Provide
21-Point AC Inspection
Visual inspection, electrical test, refrigerant pressure check, thermostat calibration, condensate drain, capacitor test, contactor test, blower motor amp draw, and 13 more critical points.
Coil Cleaning
Professional cleaning of outdoor condenser coil and indoor evaporator coil using coil-safe cleaner and low-pressure rinse. Dirty coils are the #1 cause of high SCE bills.
Refrigerant Pressure Check
Verify R-410A or R-454B charge is within spec. Low refrigerant indicates a leak that will worsen and damage the compressor if ignored.
Electrical Component Test
Test capacitors, contactors, relays, and disconnect for failure-risk. Replace any components measuring outside spec (capacitors typically fail every 5-7 years in OC heat).
Filter Replacement
Replace standard 1-inch pleated filter (provided). Recommend MERV 13 media filters for allergies.
Maintenance Plan Enrollment
Annual or biannual plans with priority service, discounted repairs, and waived diagnostic fees.

How often should I tune up my AC?
Once per year minimum, ideally in spring before the summer cooling season. Higher-use systems (rentals, AirBnB, larger homes) benefit from biannual tune-ups (spring AC, fall furnace). Skipping tune-ups voids most manufacturer warranties.
What does an AC tune-up cost in Orange County?
A single AC tune-up runs $89 to $129 for the spring special. Combo AC + furnace tune-ups run $159 to $199. Annual maintenance plans (covering both seasonal tune-ups + repair discounts) start at $189/year for a single system.
Will a tune-up actually save me money?
Yes. Studies show a properly tuned AC uses 15-20% less electricity than a neglected one. A typical OC homeowner saves $150-$300 per cooling season after a tune-up, more than paying for the tune-up itself. Plus, tune-ups extend system life by 5-7 years.
What if you find a problem during the tune-up?
We provide a written estimate before any repair work. The tune-up fee is separate from repair costs. We never high-pressure sell repairs — only what your system actually needs based on measured values, not opinions.
