A tune up is for a system that is working properly. It includes a cleaning of the unit and inspection and cleaning of drain line to keep it running in the best shape possible. A diagnostic is when the unit is not working. Whether it is blowing hot air, not running at all, leaking, etc.
A residential diagnostic is $125. A commercial diagnostic is $135. This includes the first half hour of labor and the charge for a technician to come to your house. We have flat rate pricing at Lucas Air Conditioning. Our technicians are certified, covered by general liability insurance and workman’s comp insurance.
This depends on the type of unit you have and the environment in your home. Most units need a filter change monthly. If you have pets in the home, it may need to be changed more frequently.

No, unfortunately we are not authorized to sell filters directly to customers. If we are at your home on a service call and have the filters on our van we can sell them to you during the visit.

At least once a year. We offer a preventative maintenance agreement (PMA) for $150 which includes 2 tune ups at 6-month intervals. You also receive a 10% discount on any parts needed throughout the year and receive priority scheduling.

First, check the thermostat. Make sure you have power to the thermostat and the setting is in the proper position. Next, check your air filter. If it has been a while since you’ve changed it, there is a good chance it is clogged and causing a problem. You can then check your circuit breaker. Reset it only one time. If the problem persists, then give us a call!
