Furnace & AC Maintenance in Bloomington, MN
In Bloomington, a tune-up is $129 for one furnace or one air conditioner and $219 for both on the same visit. We clean the burners and coil, test the safeties, check the charge and measure airflow, then tell you what is wearing out.
Tune-ups in Bloomington homes
Bloomington splits into two kinds of tune-up. On the east side, the ramblers usually have a basement corner where furnace, water heater and laundry sit together, and the chimney is often older than the furnace beside it. We check the draft with both appliances running. Condensers in narrow side yards get their coils rinsed and the fence and shrub clearance checked, and any R-22 unit gets a realistic estimate of how much life it has left.
On the west side, split-levels and walkouts are about airflow. We measure the temperature split, look at return air and note whether the lower level lags the main floor, so you know if the equipment or the duct layout is the issue.

Tune-ups in Bloomington: questions
My Bloomington air conditioner is from the 1990s. Is a tune-up worth it?
Usually yes, once. A tune-up cleans the coil, tests the capacitor and measures the charge, so you learn the real condition. If the unit runs on R-22 and shows a leak, we will say so before any repair, since refrigerant for those systems is costly and another repair may be a poor bet. The visit is $129, and repairs are quoted in writing first.
After our furnace was replaced, should the old chimney be checked at a Bloomington tune-up?
Yes. When a furnace moves to PVC venting, the water heater often stays in the original masonry flue, which is now oversized for it. At the tune-up we run the water heater, watch the draft at the hood and take a CO reading. If exhaust spills, you will hear about a liner or other venting fix before winter.
