Expert AC Tune Up in the Inland Empire

Most AC failures in Redlands happen on the worst possible day, the first real heat wave of the season, when every HVAC company in the Inland Empire is booked solid. A tune up before summer hits is the simplest way to avoid being one of those emergency calls. Sanborn's has offered seasonal maintenance since 1949, and it's still one of the most overlooked ways homeowners save money.

What's Included in a Tune Up

Our technicians clean the condenser coil, check refrigerant charge against manufacturer specs, inspect electrical connections and capacitors, test the contactor, and check the condensate drain line for clogs that can lead to water damage later in the season. We also calibrate your thermostat and verify airflow at the vents, since a system can be mechanically fine and still underperform due to a dirty filter or blocked return.

You'll get a written summary of what we found, including anything worth keeping an eye on, with no pressure to fix things that don't need fixing yet.

Warning Signs

Why Tune Ups Matter

  • They catch small problems before they become breakdowns.

    A weak capacitor or a slightly low refrigerant charge is easy to fix in a maintenance visit. The same issue ignored for a summer often turns into a no cool emergency call.

  • They keep your energy bills in check.

    A dirty coil or restricted airflow can make a system work significantly harder to deliver the same cooling, and that cost shows up every billing cycle until it's addressed.

  • They protect your manufacturer warranty.

    Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep a warranty valid, and we provide that documentation.

  • They extend the life of your system.

    Equipment that's properly maintained typically lasts years longer than equipment that only gets attention when something breaks.

Common Questions

AC Tune Up FAQs

How often should I get a tune up?

Once a year, ideally in spring before the heat sets in for the season.

What's included in the visit?

A full inspection of refrigerant levels, electrical components, coils, drain line, airflow, and thermostat calibration, with a written summary afterward.

Will a tune up prevent every breakdown?

It significantly reduces the chance of one, but it can't catch a part that fails suddenly between visits. It does catch most issues before they become emergencies.

My system is brand new, do I still need this?

Yes, since most manufacturers require annual maintenance to keep the warranty active, and it's the easiest way to confirm a new install is running correctly.

How long does a tune up take?

Typically under an hour for a standard residential system.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Yes, we offer plans that cover seasonal tune ups so you don't have to remember to schedule them yourself.
