4 Benefits of an Air Conditioner Tune-Up
Regular air conditioning tune-ups and maintenance are important for many reasons:
- Better energy efficiency: Why make your AC work harder than it has to? An air conditioning tune-up reduces wear and tear on components and allows them to function more easily. That means less energy used and lower costs.
- Longer service lifespan: Delay buying a new air conditioner for as long as possible by taking care of the one you have with regular maintenance.
- Prevent emergency breakdowns: Getting a tune-up at the start of the season ensures your air conditioner will work properly all summer.
- Better air quality: If dirt is building up in your air conditioner, it ends up getting into your ducts and into the unit and its drains, where water may collect and back up, leading to mold and mildew growth. Poor air quality can also affect your allergies, especially in spring.
Damiani’s 26-Point AC Maintenance Checklist
An AC tune-up typically takes between one hour and 90 minutes. When you live in San Antonio, an air conditioner tuneup isn’t just a convenience — it could be a lifesaver when temperatures hit triple digits.
Why does it take 60 to 90 minutes? Because an AC tune-up from Damiani’s Comfort Design is as comprehensive as it gets.
Are you not sure what happens during an HVAC tune-up? Here’s every step of our process. We will:
- Inspect the indoor coil, if accessible
- Measure blower motor amperage and voltage for proper operation
- Test the thermostat for proper operation, calibrate, and level
- Clean or replace the existing air filter if needed
- Inspect the bearing for wear and lubricate
- Confirm proper return air and size
- Inspect the condenser coils
- Monitor refrigerant operating pressures
- Inspect safety devices for proper operation
- Inspect the electrical disconnect box for proper rating and safe installation
- Inspect electrical wiring and tighten connections
- Test and inspect contactors for burned, pitted contacts
- Inspect electrical components for exposed wiring
- Inspect and test capacitors
- Inspect the fan blade
- Clean the condenser coil and remove debris
- Inspect service valves for proper operation
- Measure supply and return temperature differential
- Inspect ductwork for energy loss
- Monitor the compressor, measuring amperage, volt draw, and wiring connections
- Check the unit for time delay relay
- Check the unit for isolation pads

- Check lines and fittings with a refrigerant leak detector
- Check the condition of the blower belt, if applicable
Our Home Comfort Heroes don’t skip steps, and neither should you. It’s tempting to skip a tune-up here or there. But much like regularly changing the oil in your car, an AC tune-up is worth it if you want to make sure your air conditioning doesn’t quit when you need it — or cost you even more over time due to repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HVAC maintenance?
HVAC maintenance, also known as servicing or tune-ups, refers to the process of maintaining your system to help it run like new despite normal wear and tear. Tasks may include:
- Assessing
- Cleaning
- Lubricating
- Repairs
- Replacing components
How do I service my AC unit?
There are two ways to service your AC. Depending on your model, you can clean the interior and exterior units and clean or replace filters on a monthly or seasonal basis.
Advanced AC maintenance should be performed by a skilled, reputable professional. It includes:
- Opening your system to calibrate sensors
- Lubricating and replacing components
- Testing and correcting electrical connections
How long does AC maintenance take?
You should expect annual AC maintenance to take one or two hours, barring anything unusual. Since maintenance visits also include inspection for more serious problems, the visit could run a little longer if a problem is found, even if it ultimately doesn’t warrant significant repairs.
The monthly maintenance you should do as a homeowner can likely be handled in a matter of minutes — you’ll want to change or clean your filter, depending on which kind you have, and clean off any obvious grime, debris, or mess on the system.
How often should I get an air conditioner tune-up?
We recommend an air conditioner tune-up every spring. That way, your AC will be optimized just in time for San Antonio’s peak cooling season.
