An HVAC tune up in Westwood gives you a written record of how your system is running. We service cooling and heating, in condos, apartments and single-family homes, and the price depends on the system and how easy it is to reach. To get a number for your address, request a written quote or visit here.
What the tune up costs
A typical Westwood maintenance visit runs $89 to $289 depending on system accessibility and whether the unit lives on a rooftop or behind a locked gate. Most Westwood heating tune-ups run $119 to $340 depending on system type and access.
The spread comes from access and equipment, not from padding. A ground-level condenser in an open yard takes less time to reach than a rooftop unit that needs a gate code and a ladder. A wall furnace in a hallway is quicker than an attic furnace behind a small hatch. You get the figure in writing before we start.
What happens on the visit
The visit is not a quick glance and a sticker. It is a set sequence, and you receive the results afterward.
A tune up is a set of measurements, cleaning and adjustments, followed by a report. On the cooling side that means checking the coil, the condenser, the refrigerant readings, the electrical components and the condensate drain. On the heating side it means the burners, ignition, flame sensor, blower and safety controls.
The report is the part that earns the visit. It lists what we measured, what is worn and what we would watch. If something needs repair, you get a quote for it on paper, and you choose whether to act. Our AC maintenance and heating maintenance services follow this same format.
Why a tune up beats waiting
A slow refrigerant leak that goes undetected for a season can turn an $89 maintenance visit into a $580 recharge plus leak repair, and if the leak sits in an evaporator coil buried in an attic or closet, the replacement cost jumps into four figures. The tune up is where a pressure reading catches a leak while it is still small.
That is the whole case for booking. You pay a set visit price now, or you pay a repair price later, when the system fails and you need it running that day.
Book your visit
What we measure and why it matters for the price
The reading is what separates a tune up from a quick look. Refrigerant pressure tells us whether the system is holding its charge. Electrical readings on the capacitor and motors show wear before a part fails. Airflow at the filter and return shows whether the blower is working against a restriction. Each reading ties to a decision, and each decision comes with a figure on your report.
That is also why the price is set by access and system type rather than by a list of add-ons. You are paying for the visit and the measurements, and anything beyond that is quoted separately.
Tune up for condos and rooftop units
Multi-unit buildings add steps to maintenance. Rooftop and balcony equipment may need notice to the property manager. A locked gate or a parking limit changes when we can arrive. Tell us when you book, and we schedule around it.
If you manage several units in one building, ask about booking them on the same visit. We confirm the arrangement and the price in writing first.
Cooling and heating in one booking
You can ask for one system or both. Plenty of homes run air conditioning and a furnace, and a single booking can cover each. Tell us which equipment you have, and we write one quote that lists each visit separately so you can see what each costs.
If either system already has a symptom, such as weak airflow, a noise or short cycling, say so. We start with the symptom and fold the tune up into the visit when it makes sense.
Questions about the tune up
What is the difference between a tune up and a repair?
A tune up is planned service with a written report. A repair fixes a specific failure. If we find a failure during the tune up, you get a separate repair quote before we do anything.
Do you service both heating and cooling?
Yes. Each has its own price range, listed above, and we confirm which applies to your equipment.
Does the price change for a rooftop unit?
It can. Access is one of the things that moves the number, along with system type. We confirm the price after you tell us where the unit sits.
Do I need to be home?
For interior equipment, someone needs to give access. For a condenser on a rooftop or in a yard, tell us how we get in and we plan the visit around it.
What do I get after the visit?
A written report with the readings, the condition of the main components and any recommended repair, with a quote for it.
