$109 standard tune-up, including inspection,
system testing & a standard outdoor coil rinse.
An Honest Air Conditioner Tune-Up
Seen an A/C tune-up advertised for just $39? Be careful. Some cheap tune-ups are a way to get a foot in the door before recommending expensive repairs or a new air conditioner you may not need. In the industry, this is called a “fishing expedition.”
At Watkins, our standard $109 A/C tune-up is about maintaining your system, not selling you a new one. We perform a 25-point inspection, test how your system is running, and rinse the outdoor coil as part of the standard service.
If your outdoor coil needs a deeper teardown cleaning with chemical foam, that's an add-on service, typically $145–$259. If we find anything else that needs attention, we'll show you what we found, explain your options, and go over the cost before doing additional work.
No scare tactics or pressure to replace an A/C that just needs maintenance. At Watkins, you get honest advice and quality service.

Benefits of a Watkins Air Conditioner Tune-Up
Lower Bills, Higher Efficiency
The efficiency rating on your A/C is only accurate when it's factory-fresh. After a year of operation, dirt prevents good airflow and heat transfer across the outdoor coil. If you stay up on annual maintenance, you can keep your A/C system at peak efficiency. So the tune-ups pay for themselves!
Catch Problems Early
We know from experience that the small problems people ignore become big, expensive ones. The most common failures on an air conditioner are the contactor and capacitor. These repairs are typically less than $200, but they can ruin your compressor which costs thousands. If you want to avoid big repairs, there’s no substitute for getting a professional tech in front of your A/C every year.
Stay Under Warranty
The top causes of A/C failure are dirt and neglect, so manufacturer warranties usually require annual maintenance to keep your warranty in good standing. Should the manufacturer pay for a repair simply because we never changed the air filter?
Does Your A/C Need a Tune-Up Every Year?
Your air conditioner works hard to keep your home comfortable all summer. Having it checked every spring or summer gives our tech a chance to inspect your system, test how it's running, and catch potential issues before they become huge repairs.
Our $109 standard A/C tune-up includes an inspection, system testing, and a standard rinse. If your system needs deeper chemical coil cleaning or repairs, we'll explain what we found and go over the cost before doing any additional work.
We recommend A/C maintenance at least once a year to help keep your system running efficiently, stay ahead of potential problems, and keep your home comfortable through the summer.
