HVAC and AC Maintenance, $125 Tune-Ups in Bossier City
In Bossier City, as everywhere in north Louisiana, an air conditioner starts working in April and doesn't get much rest until October, so AC maintenance pays off here. That's a lot of hours on the same few parts. A weak capacitor caught in March is cheap. A dead compressor in July isn't. That's the whole case for a tune-up, and it works the same way for HVAC maintenance on the heating side before winter.

The $125 A/C Tune-Up
Here's every item on the list:
- Inspect coolant levels and pressure
- Check and adjust the thermostat
- Inspect wiring, contacts, capacitors and relays
- Inspect the evaporator coil
- Inspect and clean the condenser
- Inspect the condensate drain
- Inspect the outdoor disconnect
- Inspect the condenser fan motor and blades
- Inspect the compressor at startup
When the tech is done, you get a recommendation for any other maintenance or repair the system needs. Nothing extra gets done without your OK.
$189 Preventative Maintenance
This is our deeper maintenance visit, and our technicians will do it on any brand of air conditioner. Ask about it when you call, and we'll walk you through what your system needs.
Furnace and Heating Tune-Ups
Furnace maintenance matters as well, ideally in October before the first cold snap. A furnace tune-up on a gas furnace covers the burners, the flame sensor, the igniter, the gas pressure and the flue, plus the safety switches that shut the furnace down if something's wrong. On a heat pump, the tech also tests the defrost cycle and the backup heat strips. It beats finding out on the first 30-degree night that the furnace won't light. If something has already broken, heating repair is the visit you need instead.
AC Maintenance Program in Bossier City
Our HVAC maintenance service is thorough. We don't just swap the filter and leave. The technician checks pressures, does an AC coil cleaning on both coils, tests the electrical parts and makes sure the whole system runs safely and efficiently. Every maintenance program visit covers:
- Monitor the refrigerant's operating pressure
- Clean or replace the filter as needed
- Foam clean the evaporator coil
- Foam clean the condenser coil and clear out debris
- Calibrate and level the thermostat
- Flush the condensate drain and treat it with an anti-algae solution
- Lubricate the bearings and inspect them for wear
- Monitor volts and amps on the fan motor
- Check all safety switches
- Inspect the disconnect box for proper rating and installation
- Tighten every electrical connection on the AC
- Test and inspect the capacitors
- Inspect the fan blades for damage or imbalance
- Check overall system performance and efficiency

Problems an AC Tune-Up Catches
A tune-up catches a capacitor that tests weak, a drain line half full of sludge, a contactor with burned, pitted points, and a condenser coil packed with cottonwood fluff and grass clippings.
None of those stop an AC in April. Any of them can in August, on the hottest weekend of the year, when every HVAC company in town is booked.
When to Schedule HVAC Maintenance
- AC: March or April, before the first 90-degree week.
- Heat: October or November, before the first freeze.
If you only book one HVAC tune-up a year, make it the air conditioner tune-up. Our cooling season runs about twice as long as our heating season.
Air Filter Changes
Change the filter every month or two through the summer, and more often with pets. If you aren't sure which size to buy, our air filter replacement guide covers sizes and what to look for.
Tune-Ups and Your Warranty
Equipment makers often expect regular professional maintenance to keep a warranty valid. Hang on to your tune-up receipts.
AC Maintenance Questions
What does AC servicing include?
At Ice Cold it's nine checks: refrigerant pressure, the thermostat, the electrical parts, both coils, the drain, the disconnect, the condenser fan and the compressor at startup. An AC condenser cleaning is part of it, so the outdoor coil gets cleaned too.
How often should I service my AC in Louisiana?
Service your AC at least once a year, in spring. A system that runs hard all summer, or a house with pets and lots of dust, does better with a second visit in fall.
Is a tune-up worth it on a new system?
It is. Warranties often call for proof of maintenance, and a brand-new system can still clog its drain line in its first summer.
Will you service a brand you didn't install?
Yes, we service every brand, including Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Ruud and American Standard.
