What’s the difference? AC Tune-Up vs. AC Maintenance

While often used interchangeably, AC maintenance refers to all regular care your cooling system needs throughout the year. A tune-up is a specific type of seasonal maintenance, typically done in spring, focused on getting your AC ready for summer.

AC Maintenance includes:

  • Monthly filter replacements
  • Keeping outdoor units clear of debris
  • Monitoring energy usage and system noise

Pairing these tasks with an annual professional AC tune-up gives your AC system the best chance at long-term efficiency and reliability.
