AC Tune-Up | as Low as $58
A tune-up is the one visit that catches a failing capacitor or a low refrigerant charge before it turns into a breakdown on the hottest day of the year. Every tune-up includes a full system inspection, not just a filter check.
Great company. Got the work done quickly and neatly. Angel and Sergio were super helpful and kind. They did amazing work. Thank you for the great service guys!
Aaron was amazing. I learned a lot about my AC he also helped me put the air duct on my dryer. Very professional great customer service.

What’s Actually Checked During an AC Tune-Up
A real tune-up goes well beyond swapping the air filter. Our technicians clean the evaporator and condenser coils, test capacitor and contactor readings against manufacturer specs, verify refrigerant charge, check electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and inspect the condensate drain line for clogs that can lead to water damage or a shutdown.
Each of these is a component that fails quietly over time. A tune-up catches them while they’re still an inspection item, not an emergency repair.

When to Schedule Your AC Tune-Up
Built specifically for San Antonio’s heat load not a generic checklist.
Spring (Best Window)
Scheduling before peak season means faster appointment availability and time to order any part identified during inspection before it’s needed urgently.
Before a Home Sale or Move-In
A documented tune-up gives buyers or new homeowners a clear record of system condition and remaining service life expectations.
After a Long Winter of Disuse
A system that’s sat idle for months can develop stuck contactors, settled refrigerant, or nesting debris in the outdoor unit. A tune-up confirms everything restarts correctly.
Any Time It’s Been Over 12 Months
If a full year has passed since the last inspection, components like capacitors and contactors are due for testing regardless of the current season.
Our Process
How Our AC Tune-Up Process Works
1. Schedule a Visit at Your Convenience
Book online or by phone. A live team member confirms the appointment window and any specific concerns to flag for the technician.
2. Full System Inspection
The technician checks refrigerant charge, electrical components, coil condition, condensate drainage, and airflow, documenting readings against manufacturer specifications.
3. Cleaning and Adjustment
Coils are cleaned, electrical connections tightened, and the condensate line cleared. Any component within normal range but showing early wear is noted for future reference.
4. Findings Reviewed With You
If a component tests outside acceptable range, you’re shown the reading and given a repair quote. Nothing is replaced without your approval.
5. System Confirmed Ready for the Season
Before the technician leaves, the system is run through a full cycle to confirm proper cooling output and correct operation.
What a Tune-Up Can and Can’t Prevent
What It Catches
Weak capacitors, corroded electrical connections, low refrigerant from a slow leak, dirty coils reducing efficiency, and clogged condensate lines are all things a tune-up identifies before they cause a shutdown.
What It Doesn’t Prevent
A tune-up can’t stop a sudden compressor failure or a lightning strike on outdoor equipment. It also won’t fix an undersized or oversized system that was mis-installed from the start.
How It Affects Energy Costs
A dirty coil or an undercharged system can force a unit to run substantially longer to reach the same setpoint. Restoring these to spec is one of the more direct ways a tune-up lowers monthly cooling costs.
Why Manufacturers Reference Maintenance
Some manufacturer coverage terms reference documented annual maintenance. A tune-up record is the paperwork that supports a warranty claim if one is ever needed, independent of what the specific terms are for your equipment.

What Our Customers Say
I was really stressed about our AC issue today, but they took care of everything from diagnosis to repair in one visit. The technician was incredibly thorough, explained everything clearly, and spent nearly five hours working on our unit to make sure it was properly fixed.
I truly appreciate the professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail. Especially thankful to the technician ( Javier Almarza ) for not rushing the job and for taking the time to get everything right. We’re so grateful for the help, especially in this heat!
I used the tune up service offered by Honeycomb. So far my experience has been great! Stephen was on time, they have a nifty feature where you can track your driver! You receive text alerts that keep with every step of the service! Awesome concierge service! Stephen L. explained every detail of maintenance clearly and concisely. He gave me the best options to resolve my problem according to my budget. Later a manager called and doubled checked to make sure all was up to my satisfaction.
Fast, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Aaron B. arrived at my home within an hour of my call and quickly had my AC running again. He took the time to clearly explain everything, answered all of my questions, and provided helpful insight into my system. I was so impressed that I signed up for their membership program, which will help extend the life of my unit. Before leaving, Aaron performed a full walkthrough and showed me the recommended repairs, clearly outlining what was urgent and what could wait. Excellent service from start to finish.
Schedule Service
Why Homeowners Stay on a Regular Tune-Up Schedule
Homeowners who schedule an annual tune-up consistently report fewer mid-summer breakdowns and more predictable energy bills than those who wait until something fails. It’s a small, planned expense that avoids a large, unplanned one.
Enrollment details for the Comfy Club membership, which bundles seasonal tune-ups with priority scheduling, are on our specials. If a tune-up uncovers something urgent, we can move directly into repair the same visit, and after-hours failures are covered through our emergency AC repair line.

How much does an AC tune-up cost?
Tune-ups start as low as $58 and include a full system inspection covering refrigerant charge, electrical components, coil condition, and condensate drainage.
How long does an AC tune-up take?
Most tune-ups take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on system accessibility and whether any additional testing is needed based on initial findings.
How often should I get my AC tuned up?
Once a year, ideally in spring before peak cooling season begins, so any identified issues can be addressed before the system is under maximum load.
What’s the difference between a tune-up and a repair?
A tune-up is a scheduled inspection and light maintenance visit. A repair addresses a component that’s already failed or tested outside acceptable range during inspection.
Can a tune-up lower my energy bill?
Yes, primarily by restoring refrigerant charge and coil cleanliness to spec, both of which affect how long the system has to run to reach the same temperature.
Does a tune-up include changing the air filter?
Filter condition is checked and the homeowner is advised if replacement is needed, but ongoing filter changes between visits are typically a homeowner task unless arranged otherwise.
What happens if the technician finds a problem during the tune-up?
You’re shown the actual reading or condition and given a repair quote before anything is replaced. A tune-up never turns into an unapproved repair.
Is a tune-up worth it for a newer AC system?
Yes. Even new systems benefit from confirming refrigerant charge and electrical connections are correct, and it establishes a maintenance record from the start.
Does skipping tune-ups void my equipment warranty?
Some manufacturer coverage terms reference documented annual maintenance as a condition. Check your specific equipment’s terms, and keep tune-up records as documentation either way.
What’s included in the Comfy Club membership?
Seasonal tune-ups and priority scheduling for $19 a month. Check the full details on our specials.
