Los Angeles summers bring intense heat. Your air conditioner works hard to cool your home, but without regular tune-ups, it can lose efficiency, break down, or increase your energy bills.
Affordable Heating and Air provides expert AC tune-up services. Our team keeps your system running efficiently, lowers your costs, and ensures you stay comfortable all summer.
You shouldn’t skip maintenance just because your AC seems fine. It is a common myth that can lead to expensive problems. Your cooling system needs an annual tune-up, just like your car needs regular oil changes. Regular maintenance is essential in Los Angeles, where the heat can significantly stress your air conditioning system. Annual service keeps your system running efficiently and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
LA’s extreme heat puts extra stress on your AC. Dust and dirt build up inside, making it work harder and longer. A tune-up removes this grime, so your system cools faster and uses less energy. In fact, regular maintenance can boost your AC’s efficiency by up to 30%. ENERGY STAR reports that annual tune-ups can cut your cooling bills by up to 15%.
Don’t let a minor problem turn into a significant, costly repair. Most AC breakdowns happen because of neglected maintenance. The average AC repair in California costs $575, but a tune-up costs $70–$200, a wise investment that can save you hundreds. Regular inspections catch issues early, so you avoid surprise breakdowns during a heat wave.
A well-maintained air conditioner lasts longer. Skipping maintenance can shorten your system’s life and force you to replace it sooner—costing you thousands. Tune-ups keep your AC running smoothly, adding years to its lifespan.
Los Angeles’s air is full of dust and pollen. A clean AC system filters out allergens so your family breathes healthier air. Regular maintenance means cleaner filters and fresher indoor air.
A tuned-up AC delivers steady, even cooling—no more hot spots or weak airflow. You’ll feel comfortable in any room, regardless of how hot it gets outside.
Many manufacturers require regular maintenance to ensure warranty coverage. A tune-up protects your investment.
Let’s clarify some common misconceptions.
Myth: Turning the thermostat down cools faster.
Truth: Your AC cools steadily. Setting the thermostat extra low doesn’t speed things up; it just makes the system run longer and wastes energy. Please set it at your desired temperature and be patient.
Myth: A larger AC unit is always better.
Truth: An oversized air conditioner is inefficient. Cooling too quickly and shutting off before adequately dehumidifying the air results in short-cycling, wasted energy, and a clammy feeling. Proper sizing by a technician is key.
Myth: Turning the AC on and off saves energy.
Truth: Constantly restarting your AC forces it to work harder each time, increasing its energy consumption. It’s more efficient to set your thermostat and let it maintain the temperature.
Myth: Maintenance isn’t needed if the AC cools.
Truth: Even a working AC can have underlying issues or inefficiencies. Dirt buildup on coils (even just 0.25mm!) can decrease efficiency by 20%. Regular checks prevent gradual decline and sudden failures.

Pro Tips:
Spring is the ideal time to schedule an AC tune-up in Los Angeles. This allows technicians to identify and address any potential issues before the scorching summer heat arrives. This ensures your AC unit operates efficiently when you need it most.
An AC tune-up service typically includes a thorough inspection of your air conditioning system, cleaning of components like the condenser and evaporator coils, checking and adjusting refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and system calibration. The goal is to make sure that your AC works well and consistently.
To maintain optimal performance and prevent breakdowns, schedule an AC tune-up at least once a year in Los Angeles. Due to the area’s hot climate and heavy AC usage, some homeowners may benefit from scheduling two tune-ups per year, once in the spring and again in the fall.
Air conditioning preventive maintenance has many benefits, such as making the system more efficient, lowering energy bills, extending the life of equipment, improving the quality of the air inside, and lowering the risk of sudden breaks.
A standard AC tune-up typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Our technicians work efficiently, ensuring every detail is covered so you can get back to comfort quickly.
