When to Schedule Maintenance
Spring AC Tune-Up (March-May)
Schedule before Bay Area summer heat arrives. In Oakland, Berkeley, and inland valleys, summer temps can hit 85-100°F. A pre-season tune-up ensures your AC is ready when you need it most.
- Beat the summer rush—schedule before everyone else
- Catch refrigerant leaks before cooling season
- Clean coils and check capacitors for peak efficiency
- Avoid emergency breakdowns during heat waves
Fall Heating Tune-Up (September-November)
Prepare for Bay Area winter before first cold snap. While our winters are mild compared to other regions, overnight lows in Concord, Livermore, and San Ramon can drop into the 30s. Ensure your furnace or heat pump is ready.
- Test burners, igniters, and flame sensors
- Inspect heat exchangers for cracks (carbon monoxide safety)
- Check thermostat calibration and programming
- Lubricate motors and check electrical connections
Professional Maintenance vs. DIY: What You Need to Know
While homeowners can perform basic HVAC maintenance, professional tune-ups catch problems that DIY efforts miss. Here's what you can do yourself versus what requires a licensed technician:
✓ DIY Maintenance You Can Do
- Filter Changes: Replace every 1-3 months (more often if you have pets or allergies)
- Clear Debris: Remove leaves, grass clippings from outdoor condenser unit
- Visual Checks: Look for obvious leaks, unusual sounds, thermostat issues
- Register Care: Keep supply/return vents unblocked and dust-free
✗ Professional-Only Maintenance
- Refrigerant Work: Checking levels, adding refrigerant requires EPA certification
- Electrical Testing: Measuring voltage, amp draw, capacitor health
- Gas Furnace Safety: Inspecting heat exchangers, testing for CO leaks
- Deep Cleaning: Coil cleaning, blower wheel removal, condensate drain clearing
- Calibration: Adjusting refrigerant superheat/subcooling, airflow rates
