Furnace & A/C Tune-Ups in Salt Lake City
Both systems measured with real instruments, every reading handed to you in a written System Health Report, and a one-year diagnostic warranty on the work.
Canyon Comfort tune-ups across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front measure airflow, static pressure, temperature split and electrical readings, with a carbon monoxide test on every furnace — $110 for the first system, $90 each additional, or $180 for a furnace and A/C together. Every tune-up also carries a one-year diagnostic warranty: if a system we tuned breaks down within a year, the diagnostic fee is waived.
What it costs
Furnace + A/C together
Both systems in one visit. Our best rate.
One system
Furnace or A/C on its own.
Each additional system
A second furnace or A/C in the same visit.
Two full systems, both furnaces and both A/Cs together, are $340. Weeknights after 6pm and weekends add $40. Book a tune-up and the $80 airflow diagnostic is half price on the same visit.
What happens on the visit
Book a time
Days, evenings or weekends. Both systems are done in the same visit.
We measure, not look
Temperature split, static pressure, airflow, gas pressure, carbon monoxide, capacitors, amp draws, and a camera into the secondary heat exchanger and the A/C coil.
You get the report
Every reading, emailed to you when we are finished, so you know where each system stands instead of hearing that it looks fine.
What we measure
On the furnace
- Carbon monoxide safety test
- Gas manifold pressure, so it burns at the right rate
- Amp draw on the furnace and the inducer fan
- Ignitor and flame sensor readings, burner flame checked
- Borescope camera into the secondary heat exchanger
On the A/C
- Temperature split, in and out
- Indoor and outdoor capacitors tested against their rated microfarads
- Compressor and condenser fan amps against the nameplate
- Contactor checked, outdoor coil cleaned
- Refrigerant charge checked only when a reading says something is off
On both
- Static pressure, supply and return
- Airflow in CFM
- Blower motor and wheel
- Filter direction and condition, corrected on the spot
- Thermostat, drain and condensate pump
Good to know
A written System Health Report
Not an invoice. A report with your system’s actual numbers, explained plainly, sent to you after the visit.
One-year diagnostic warranty
If a system we tuned up breaks down within a year, the diagnostic fee is waived.
No plans, no memberships
Nothing to sign up for. Book a tune-up when it is due. We are repair-only, so there is no new system waiting at the end of the visit either.

Questions
Do the furnace and A/C have to be done together?
No. One system is $110 and the two together are $180, so the combo saves $40 and a second visit. The airflow and static pressure readings are shared between the two systems, so doing both gives the fuller picture.
When is the best time?
The furnace before the first cold night and the A/C before the first hot week. For one visit, early fall or late spring, when both systems can be run and measured.
What if the tune-up finds a problem?
You see the reading and the photo, and you get a price for the repair. A part on the truck can be done the same visit.
Why do you check refrigerant only sometimes?
Checking the charge uses a little refrigerant every time. Done on every visit for no reason, it slowly runs a system low. We check it when the temperature split or the pressures say something is off.
What’s in a real tune-up
A real tune-up is more than a filter change and a five-minute look. Every visit is done by the owner, who measures real numbers on your furnace and your A/C. Here is exactly what gets checked, and why each item matters.
Power & electrical
- Amp draw into the furnace — measured against spec, so a unit pulling too hard gets caught early.
- Outdoor unit voltage — confirms the equipment is getting clean, correct power.
- Thermostat operation — verified it’s actually controlling the system the way it should.
Blower assembly
- Blower motor — checked for bearing play and oil leaking, both early signs of a motor on its way out.
- Blower wheel — inspected for damage and excess dust or debris buildup, which throws it out of balance and restricts airflow.
- Blower wheel spin — confirmed that it spins freely and quietly, without rubbing or straining.
Furnace-specific checks
- Exhaust fan (draft inducer) motor — amp draw and operation checked, to catch a motor on its way out before it fails on a cold night.
- Burners — inspected for proper flame and condition.
- Flame sensor — tested to confirm it’s sensing the flame correctly, a common cause of a furnace that shuts itself off after a few seconds.
- Gas pressure — measured to confirm the furnace is burning at the correct rate, not too high or too low.
Camera inspection
We run a borescope camera into the secondary heat exchanger and the A/C coil — the two spots where dust and debris buildup causes a real blockage, and the only way to actually see it instead of guessing. Buildup on the heat exchanger also matters for safety, which is why every furnace tune-up includes a CO (carbon monoxide) safety test too — a check a lot of cheap tune-ups skip entirely.
Filter & ductwork
- Air filter — checked for correct direction and cleanliness, corrected on the spot if it’s backwards or overdue.
- Ductwork — checked to make sure it’s intact, with no major holes letting unfiltered air into the system.
The numbers we measure
- Temperature split (DT) — the difference between the air going into the system and the air coming out. It tells us whether the system is actually heating or cooling to spec, not just running.
- Static pressure, supply and return — how hard the blower has to work to push air through your ducts. Too high, and something’s restricting airflow and straining the equipment; that strain is what shortens a system’s life.
- Airflow (CFM) — the actual volume of air the system is moving, measured, not guessed at based on how it sounds. Low airflow makes everything else work harder, even when the equipment itself is fine.
Electrical & outdoor unit
- Indoor capacitor (if the system has one) and outdoor capacitor — both tested against their rated microfarads (µF), not just “does it start,” which is how a capacitor about to fail still looks fine right up until it strands you.
- Outdoor contactor — checked for pitting and wear.
- Outdoor unit cleanliness — the coil fins cleared of dirt and debris so the system can actually reject heat.
- Condenser fan amps and compressor amps — both measured against the nameplate rating to confirm proper operation.
What we don’t do: check refrigerant charge for no reason
We only get into the refrigerant charge if something’s actually off. Checking it uses a small amount of refrigerant every time, and a tech who checks “just in case” on every visit — topping it off a little each time without a real reason — can quietly run your system low over a couple of years. We’d rather leave it alone when it’s working right than create a problem to justify the check. If you have ever been sold a hard start kit, here is how to tell whether you actually needed one →
Why the measuring matters
Whether a tune-up actually extends your system’s life — or is just a filter change with an invoice attached — comes down to whether these numbers get measured at all. A capacitor that “looks fine” can still be reading well under its rating. A secondary heat exchanger caked with dirt won’t show up unless someone actually looks with a camera. That’s the difference between a tune-up that catches a $100 part before it fails and a tune-up that misses it until you’re calling for emergency repair. See the full technical checklist →
You get a System Health Report
When we are finished we email you a Canyon Comfort System Health Report with every reading above, so you know exactly where your system stands instead of just hearing that it looks good. If you want to know what those numbers mean, read our HVAC systems guide.
If the report turns up a system at the end of its life
Canyon Comfort takes on repairs of every size — the only thing we don’t do is sell you a new system. If a tune-up shows the equipment is truly finished, we tell you plainly and put the full diagnosis and model information in writing, so the installer you choose shows up prepared.
Tune-ups across the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back
We cover the Wasatch Front and the Wasatch Back, from Ogden down to Provo and from Grantsville across to Coalville and Heber, on days, evenings and weekends.
Maintenance questions
Is there HVAC maintenance near me in Salt Lake City?
If you searched “HVAC maintenance near me” from Salt Lake City, yes — Canyon Comfort provides HVAC maintenance across the Wasatch Front, weekdays (Mon-Fri 7am-10pm) and weekends. Call or text 801-960-5925.
What should a thorough furnace tune-up include?
A thorough furnace tune-up is measured, not glanced at. Ours checks airflow, static pressure and temperature rise, blower and furnace amps, gas manifold pressure, the ignitor and flame sensor, and the heat exchanger, with a carbon monoxide safety test on every furnace. Every reading goes into the written System Health Report you keep.
How much does HVAC maintenance cost in Salt Lake City?
An HVAC tune-up is $110 for a single system, $180 for a furnace + A/C combo in one visit, and $90 for each additional system.
Do you offer HVAC maintenance in Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front?
Yes — Canyon Comfort provides HVAC maintenance across the whole Wasatch Front, from Ogden to Provo and Grantsville to Heber, including Sandy, Draper, West Jordan, and Murray, with upfront pricing.
How often should I get a tune-up?
Once a year per system is ideal — a furnace tune-up in fall and an A/C tune-up in spring. A heat pump that runs year-round is best serviced twice a year.
What does a tune-up cost?
A single-system tune-up is $110, or $180 for a furnace and A/C tuned up together in one visit, which is our best combo rate. Beyond that it is $110 for the first system and $90 for each additional. See exactly what we check during a tune-up →
Is maintenance required for my warranty?
Often yes — many manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep the parts warranty valid, and the written System Health Report we email you is that documentation.
What is included in a tune-up?
Cleaning the blower and coil, checking gas and combustion, measuring temperature split, static pressure, and airflow, a CO safety test on furnaces, an inspection-camera look inside, electrical and safety checks — and an emailed System Health Report with the readings. We only check refrigerant charge if something’s actually off — checking it on every visit wastes refrigerant and can run a system low over time.
How much does an A/C tune-up cost?
An air conditioning tune-up is $110 for a single system — the same set rate as a furnace tune-up. Get both your furnace and A/C tuned up together in one visit for $180, our best combo rate.
How much does a furnace tune-up cost?
A furnace tune-up (heating tune-up) is $110 for a single system, or $180 if you tune up your A/C at the same time. Book an A/C or furnace tune-up and get 50% off the airflow diagnostic on the same visit.
How much does it cost to tune up both my furnace and A/C?
$180 if you do them together in one visit — a bigger discount than our standard multi-system rate of $110 for the first system and $90 for each additional.
What’s the difference between A/C maintenance and an A/C tune-up?
Nothing — “A/C maintenance,” “air conditioning maintenance,” and “A/C tune-up” all mean the same seasonal service: a real, measured multi-point check of your cooling system before the heat of summer.
Do you offer furnace maintenance and heating maintenance?
Yes — furnace maintenance, heating maintenance, and furnace tune-up all describe the same fall service: cleaning, safety checks including a CO test, and measured readings before the cold sets in.
Is preventive maintenance worth it for HVAC systems?
Yes — preventive maintenance (a seasonal furnace or A/C tune-up) is one of the cheapest ways to avoid a breakdown, helps keep your system running efficiently, and often keeps a manufacturer’s parts warranty valid.
What if my furnace quits before I can get a tune-up?
Call or text 801-960-5925 and we can usually get to you the same day. Emergency furnace repair starts with an $80 service call weekdays 7am-6pm, with $40 added weeknights until 10pm and all weekend. Canyon Comfort runs days, evenings and weekends.
Is a $29 or $79 tune-up actually worth it?
A $29 or $79 HVAC tune-up can still be useful, but it’s worth understanding what’s included and how that price works. At those prices, a company is likely losing money on the tune-up itself, which means that cost has to be made up through customers who purchase additional services or through future repairs. Most basic tune-ups also don’t go as far as ours when it comes to checking airflow and the operation of the entire system. Canyon Comfort tune-ups are $110 for the first system and $90 for each additional system, and we check airflow along with the operation of every component. We only offer one level of tune-up, so there isn’t a basic package designed to lead into a more expensive tier or maintenance plan. You’ll also receive a written System Health Report and a one-year diagnostic warranty with every tune-up.
Why choose Canyon Comfort for an A/C or furnace tune-up?
Our tune-ups check more than whether the system turns on. Every visit includes airflow, static pressure, temperature split, and electrical readings, plus a carbon monoxide test on furnace tune-ups, and you’ll receive a written Canyon Comfort System Health Report showing what we found. Canyon Comfort is a licensed and insured Utah S350 HVAC contractor, and we’re a repair-only company with no new systems or maintenance plans to sell. Tune-ups are $110 for the first system, $90 for each additional system, or $180 for an A/C and furnace completed together. Appointments are available days, evenings, and weekends.
Who offers the best A/C and furnace tune-up in Salt Lake City?
A thorough HVAC tune-up should tell you how the whole system is operating, not just whether it turns on. That means checking airflow, static pressure, temperature split, and electrical readings, along with carbon monoxide testing on a furnace. Canyon Comfort includes all of those checks and provides a written System Health Report with every tune-up. We charge $110 for the first system, $90 for each additional system, or $180 for an A/C and furnace tune-up completed together. We’re a repair-only HVAC company with no new systems or maintenance plans to sell, every tune-up carries a one-year diagnostic warranty, and appointments are available days, evenings, and weekends. Call or text 801-960-5925 to schedule a tune-up.
Is there a warranty with a furnace or A/C tune-up?
Yes — every tune-up comes with a one-year diagnostic warranty. If the A/C or furnace we tuned up breaks down within a year of the visit, we waive the diagnostic fee and go straight to finding the problem. The warranty applies to the system that received the tune-up.
