What's Included

Every $79 tune-up covers 23 checkpoints.

We don't do quick visual inspections. Every Rescue tech runs through this checklist on every system, every visit. Written report with photos delivered to your inbox.

01 / Inspection

23-Point System Inspection

Full performance test of compressor, blower, evaporator coil, condenser coil, refrigerant levels, thermostat calibration, and airflow at every supply register.

02 / Refrigerant

Refrigerant Top-Off Included

Up to 1 lb of refrigerant (R-410A or R-454B) included. Most tune-ups need 0.3-0.8 lb. Additional refrigerant billed at flat rate if needed.

03 / Coils

Coil Cleaning + Condensate Flush

Outdoor condenser coil rinsed clean of debris, indoor evaporator coil treated, condensate drain line flushed clear (the #1 cause of mid-summer water leaks).

04 / Electrical

Electrical Tightening + Test

Every contactor + capacitor connection inspected and tightened. Voltage and amperage readings logged. Loose connections cause 30% of summer breakdowns.

05 / Capacitor

Capacitor + Contactor Test

The #1 reason ACs fail on the first 95° day. We test capacitance with a meter and tell you straight: replace now for $30 or risk a $300 emergency call in July.

06 / Report

Written Photo Report

Every reading, every photo, every recommendation logged and emailed within 24 hours. Yours forever. Shareable with your HVAC warranty company if needed.

No Breakdown Guarantee

If your AC breaks down during cooling season after a Rescue tune-up, we apply your full $79 toward the repair. Includes parts and labor. Most contractors charge $99-159 for the same checklist and offer nothing if your system fails. That's not us.

Why Schedule Now

The capacitor that fails in July
costs $30 today.

It's June. Forecast shows 90°+ by next weekend. We've already serviced 47 systems this month and the same thing keeps coming up: capacitors that would cost $30 to replace today fail at exactly the wrong moment when every HVAC shop in Bergen County is booked solid.

If your system is 7+ years old and you haven't done a tune-up in 18 months, the probability of a mid-summer breakdown is over 60%. The $30 capacitor we'd catch today becomes a $300 emergency call in July — assuming you can find someone who'll come out same-day.

Our May calendar is 70% booked. June books fast. Book this week to get a real time window.

Why Rescue's $79 is the real deal.

A lot of NJ contractors advertise tune-ups under $80. Most of them are 30-minute visual checks that don't include refrigerant, parts, or a real warranty. Here's the difference.

Common Questions

What customers actually ask.

How long does a $79 tune-up take?
Most visits run 60-90 minutes start to finish. If we find something serious that needs more time, we'll quote you a flat-rate fix before doing any extra work.
What if my AC is mini-split or ductless?
Mini-splits use different procedures — we offer a $99 mini-split tune-up that covers each indoor head + the outdoor unit. Call us at (866) 737-2830 to schedule.
Do I have to be home?
Yes — we need access to the outdoor condenser, indoor air handler/coil, and the thermostat. About 60% of the work is outside, 40% is inside.
What if you find something broken?
We give you a flat-rate written quote BEFORE doing any extra work. You decide. No pressure, no commission-driven upsells. If you skip the repair and your AC fails this season, your $79 credit applies to the eventual fix.
How is this different from your $79 diagnostic?
The $79 tune-up is preventive maintenance — clean, inspect, optimize a working AC. The $79 diagnostic is for when something's already broken (won't turn on, blowing warm, leaking, etc.) — we find the problem and quote the fix. Different work, different price.
Are you really Google Guaranteed?
Yes — we passed Google's background checks, license verification, and insurance verification. If you book through Google and we damage your home, Google reimburses you up to $2,000. Click the Google Guaranteed badge anywhere on our site to verify.
Do you service my town?
We cover all of Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Hudson, and Essex counties — 47 towns including Paterson, Clifton, Hackensack, Newark, Jersey City, Wayne, Montclair, Morristown, Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Wyckoff, Hawthorne, Haledon, and more. See full coverage map →
