AC Tune-Up & Maintenance
AC tune-up and maintenance
A real AC tune-up cleans the outdoor coil, tests the capacitor and contactor, checks refrigerant readings and clears the condensate drain. In Southern Nevada, doing it in March or April prevents most mid-summer breakdowns.

Desert dust, pollen and cottonwood fluff pack into condenser coils, and a dirty coil makes the compressor work harder and hotter. Capacitors weaken slowly and often fail on the first 105°F day. A spring visit finds these before they leave you without cooling.
Ask what the tune-up includes. A good checklist has coil cleaning, electrical tests with recorded readings, refrigerant readings, blower and filter check, condensate drain flush and thermostat check.

Frequently asked questions
How often should an AC be serviced in Las Vegas?
At least once a year, in spring. Heavily used systems, homes near construction or homes with pets benefit from a second check in late summer.
Is a tune-up worth it on a new system?
Yes. Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep the parts warranty valid.
