Ant hills against the outdoor unit’s pad
Ants mounded around the pad are often inside the cabinet too, crowding the electrical contacts. Leave the panel closed and get the tune-up on the calendar before the season starts.

What it costs
What an AC tune-up costs in Nokesville.
One price per system, $99. We go through it before a Northern Virginia July finds the weak part for you. Anything it turns up is priced in writing before any work, and if it can wait, we say so.
AC tune-up, one system
$99
Furnace tune-up, one system
$99
Heat pump, boiler or ductless mini split tune-up, one system
$99
Comfort+ membership, a cooling maintenance visit every spring included
$199 a year
A house with two systems books two tune-ups, one for each, and a heat pump or a ductless mini split is the same $99 a system. The heating side, a furnace or a boiler, gets its own tune-up in the fall at the same price.
With Comfort+ membership at $199 a year, the cooling maintenance visit comes every spring, along with a heating maintenance visit, a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection and a dryer vent cleaning.
What’s different in Nokesville
Nokesville’s spring visit meets old retrofits, builder pairs and a lot of open yard.
Much of the village predates central air: 37 percent of its homes went up before 1960. In those houses the indoor unit can be almost anywhere, a basement corner, a hall closet, or the attic of a one-story house through a hatch in a closet ceiling. The filter can be just as hidden, behind a ceiling grille or in a slot at the cabinet, and plenty of owners aren’t sure which. The tune-up starts by finding it, and the write-up says where it is and what size to buy.
Electricity heats about seven village owner homes in ten, so the indoor half is usually an air handler with electric heat strips inside, not a furnace. Its blower pulled the house’s dust across that coil all winter, and spring is when the coil and the pan beneath it get cleaned. In the propane and gas houses, about a third of owner homes across 20181, the coil normally rides on the furnace, whose blower is the fan the tune-up cleans.
Out past the village the houses get bigger and younger. Across 20181, 904 homes date from 2000 through 2009, more than any other decade, and nearly all are detached. A two-story house of that vintage often runs a pair of systems, two outdoor units and two thermostats, and each is its own $99 visit. Where one of the pair has been replaced already, the original beside it has lived the same summers, and it’s the one to watch in the written findings.
Then there’s the yard. The outdoor unit sits out in open ground, and the creatures that live there like it too. Ants move into the dry electrical box and can pack the contactor until it won’t close, wasps build behind the service panel, and mice chew the thin thermostat wire along the foundation. The tune-up takes that panel off, so a nest or a chewed wire turns up in April, not July.

When to book it
When an AC tune-up is worth booking in Nokesville.
A heat pump works both seasons
It cools all summer and heats all winter, so it piles up more hours in a year than an air conditioner that sits idle from October to May.
The house is older than its AC
Central air in an older house was usually added later, often with a return too small for it. Checking the filter and the airflow in spring is how you keep the coil from icing up in July.

Questions to ask anybody who books you, us included.
Will they open the outdoor unit’s electrical panel?
The coil is the visible half of the job. In a Nokesville yard the electrical box is where ants, wasps and chewed wire hide, so ask whether the tech takes that cover off.
What does the price cover, and is it per system?
Ask what gets cleaned and what gets checked, and whether a second system costs extra. A number with no list behind it is hard to hold anybody to.
Do they write down what they found?
Ask for the findings in writing, with a price on anything that needs fixing and an honest word on what can wait. A tune-up you never see written down is one you take on faith.
Do they find the leak before they sell refrigerant?
An air conditioner doesn’t use up refrigerant. Low means it’s leaking somewhere, and a company that tops it up every spring is selling you the same refrigerant twice.

Elvis Diaz from SwiftPro did a fantastic job of inspecting my HVAC system, he explained everything in a very professional way, for example, he recommended the right filter type to use. It is a job well done.
Questions
AC tune-up questions from Nokesville.
Our Nokesville house heats with a wood stove. Does the cooling still need a spring tune-up?
If a heat pump or central air conditioner cools it in summer, yes. About 60 owner homes across 20181 heat mainly with wood, and a stove’s fine ash can load the filter and the indoor coil faster than you’d guess. It’s still $99 per system.
We rent out a house in the village. Who books the AC tune-up?
Whoever the lease names, usually the owner. About one village home in five is rented. Pick a day your tenant can let the tech in, and have the written findings sent to you.
How much is an AC tune-up in Nokesville?
$99 per system, the same for a central air conditioner, a heat pump or a ductless mini split. A house with two systems books two. If the tune-up turns up a repair, you get its price in writing before any work, and you decide.
How often should an AC get a tune-up?
Once a year, in the spring, before the first heat wave. The heating side gets its own visit in the fall. The filter needs attention more often, every one to three months, and it’s the cheapest thing on the list.
