HVAC tune-up and maintenance help to keep heat pump and central air conditioning units operating at top efficiency, prevent equipment failure, and extend the life of the unit. A tuneup by a service professional can improve unit efficiency by as much as 20%.
An annual HVAC tune-up includes, but is not limited to, checking and correcting the unit's refrigerant pressure and tubing, checking and adjusting belt tension, cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting the indoor blower unit and outside coil and straightening fins, replacing filters, cleaning inside the "A" coil, cleaning the inside coil, condensation pans, condensate traps, and condensation lines, checking the refrigerant levels and if low, finding and repairing the leak, and checking the thermostat, wiring, and other electric parts.

The receipt must contain the license number of the qualified contractor and the contractor's certification that the maintenance performed was classified as a "yearly maintenance intended to make the unit more efficient".
