The best time to find out your AC has a problem is before you need it on a 100-degree day. Covington Heat & Air’s AC tune-up gets your system inspected, cleaned, and verified before cooling season — so you’re not calling for emergency repair in July. Locally owned, licensed, and serving OKC homeowners for over 19 years.
Oklahoma’s cooling season is long and unforgiving. From late spring through early fall, your air conditioner runs hard — and a system that hasn’t been serviced is significantly more likely to break down when temperatures peak and demand is at its highest. The problem with AC failures is the timing. They almost never happen on a mild day in April. They happen on a Saturday in August when every HVAC company in the metro is slammed with calls and you’re looking at a two-day wait.
An annual AC tune-up is the most cost-effective thing you can do to protect your system and your comfort. At Covington Heat & Air, our spring AC tune-up is $89 and covers a thorough inspection and cleaning of every major component that affects your system’s reliability and efficiency. We catch the small problems — a capacitor showing early signs of failure, refrigerant that’s slightly low, a coil that’s starting to restrict airflow — before they turn into a breakdown on the hottest day of the year.
We service all major brands and system types across Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore, Norman, Mustang, Yukon, Piedmont, Midwest City, Del City, Bethany, Nichols Hills, Warr Acres, and Guthrie. Call us at (405) 568-9463 to schedule your AC tune-up, or use our contact form below. We recommend scheduling in April or May before the summer rush fills our calendar.
Most systems don’t fail without warning — they give you signals first. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to schedule a tune-up before it becomes a repair.
If your electric bills are higher than they were last summer without a major change in how you’re using the system, your AC is working harder than it should. A dirty condenser coil, low refrigerant, or a clogged evaporator restricts efficiency and forces the system to run longer cycles to reach your set temperature. A tune-up cleaning and inspection almost always brings efficiency back in line — and the $89 cost is typically recovered in energy savings within the first month of peak summer usage.
If your AC seems to run continuously or takes much longer than it used to in order to cool your home down, airflow or refrigerant is likely the issue. A dirty filter, blocked coils, or low refrigerant all reduce how much cooling the system delivers per cycle. Rather than reaching your set temperature and shutting off, it keeps running — adding wear on the compressor and driving up your electricity bill. A tune-up catches exactly this type of issue.
If you can’t remember the last time your AC was professionally serviced, it’s overdue. Dust and debris accumulate on coils year over year. Capacitors age and lose their rating. Refrigerant can drift low from minor leaks that go unnoticed. None of these cause a dramatic failure on their own — but together they put compressor stress levels well above where they should be. Annual maintenance is the standard recommendation for a reason.
New rattling, squealing, or clicking sounds coming from the indoor or outdoor unit often indicate a component that’s wearing out — a fan motor bearing, a failing capacitor, or a loose mounting bracket. These are inexpensive fixes when caught early during a tune-up inspection. Left unaddressed, a failing capacitor can take the compressor with it when it finally goes — turning a $150 fix into a $1,500 repair. Don’t ignore new sounds. We also have a guide on what AC noises typically mean if you want to read up before calling.
We service all major residential and commercial AC system types across the OKC metro. If it cools air, we maintain it.
Scheduling a tune-up with Covington Heat & Air is straightforward. Call us at (405) 568-9463 or use our contact form to pick a time that works. We recommend scheduling in April or May before the summer rush — but we take tune-up appointments year-round.
On the day of your appointment our technician arrives on time in a marked vehicle. The full tune-up typically takes 45–75 minutes. We inspect and clean every component on the checklist, test system operation, and check refrigerant levels. If we find anything that needs attention — a capacitor showing early failure, a refrigerant leak, a coil that needs a deeper cleaning — we explain it clearly and give you an upfront price before doing any additional work. Nothing is touched without your approval.
When we’re done we walk you through what we found and leave you with a clear picture of your system’s condition heading into summer. No pressure, no upsell tactics — just honest service from a local company that’s been working on OKC HVAC systems for over 19 years.
Scheduling a tune-up now is the smartest move you can make before Oklahoma’s heat arrives. When you call Covington Heat & Air you’re getting OKC’s locally owned HVAC professionals who have been keeping homes comfortable for over 19 years. We show up on time, tell you exactly what we find, and never recommend work that isn’t needed.

Once a year, every year — ideally in April or May before cooling season starts. Oklahoma summers are long and put above-average stress on residential AC systems. A system that gets serviced annually runs more efficiently, breaks down less often, and lasts longer than one that’s skipping maintenance. If your system has missed a few years of service, the first tune-up may take a bit longer as we work through accumulated buildup.
Our $89 AC spring tune-up includes condenser and evaporator coil cleaning, capacitor inspection, amp checks on the compressor and condenser fan motor, refrigerant level check, and filter and battery check. After the service we walk you through what we found — including anything that’s showing early signs of wear. If additional work is needed, we quote it separately and you decide. Nothing is done without your approval.
$89 is our standard rate for the AC spring tune-up — it’s not a promotional bait price. The checklist is the checklist and the price is the price. If we find something during the tune-up that requires additional repair work, that’s quoted and approved separately. We don’t add hidden charges on top of the tune-up fee.
Most tune-ups are completed in 45 to 75 minutes. If the system is particularly dirty or we find something that needs further diagnosis, it may run a bit longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe on site.
We service all major residential AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, Amana, American Standard, Daikin, and Coleman. If you have a less common brand, give us a call and we’ll confirm before scheduling.
We do offer maintenance plan options — ask us about current plan details when you call. A maintenance plan typically covers annual tune-ups plus priority scheduling and discounts on any repair work needed throughout the year.
