What to Expect During a Professional AC Tune-Up

Booking an AC tune-up? Here’s what a professional technician will actually do and why it matters for comfort, efficiency, and system lifespan.

Scheduling a professional AC tune-up is one of the smartest things you can do before peak cooling season in Los Angeles and Orange County. Not only does it help your system run efficiently, but it can also extend its lifespan and prevent surprise breakdowns during a heatwave. At Smartchoice Service, we walk homeowners through every step of the process so you know exactly what to expect.

System Inspection

First, your technician will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire HVAC system. This includes checking the thermostat, electrical connections, refrigerant levels, condenser and evaporator coils, and the overall condition of your unit. Any worn or damaged parts are identified early to prevent costly issues later on.

Cleaning the Components

Dust, dirt, and debris can build up on your system’s coils and blower components, making your unit work harder. A proper tune-up includes cleaning these parts to improve airflow, boost energy efficiency, and help maintain indoor air quality.

Lubrication and Tightening

Your AC has many moving parts that need to work smoothly together. During a tune-up, the technician lubricates motors and bearings, and tightens electrical connections to ensure safety and consistent performance throughout the summer.

Performance Testing

Finally, your technician will run the system and test its performance. They'll check temperature output, inspect the air handler and ductwork, and ensure that everything is working properly. This step gives you peace of mind that your AC is ready for the heat ahead.
