Wait. Do I need an AC tune-up?
If you like saving money, the answer is, "Yes!" Regularly scheduled air conditioner tune-ups save you money in three ways. First, they extend the life of your system. Second, they increase efficiency, which lowers your energy costs. And third, they reduce the need for costly, major repairs.
Another advantage of scheduling — with us — is that our HVAC service calls generate a historical record of any repairs to your systems, providing you with data to determine when it’s time to replace or upgrade your air conditioner.
What’s the best time to schedule an AC tune-up?
The best time to schedule is early spring, before the rush, and before the summer heat begins straining your system.
What’s the worst time to schedule an AC tune-up?
For two reasons, the worst time to schedule service is when your AC has stopped working. First, waiting for your air conditioner to break can result in expensive repairs and premature replacement costs that routine AC maintenance can prevent or delay for years. Second, you’ll be uncomfortable until it is fixed, and the hotter the day, the more emergency calls may be ahead of you in line. If the repair requires a parts order, your house may be hot for days.
What should I expect with a routine AC inspection?
When you call Fitch Services, we’ll find a convenient appointment window for you. During the service call, our professional, licensed technician will inspect the air conditioner components inside and outside your home. Your technician will clean and tighten wires, measure the airflow and refrigerant levels, clean coils, lubricate parts, and identify parts requiring repair or replacement. You’ll receive the inspection results and recommendations to minimize hot-weather disruptions.
What if the technician identifies repair or replacement needs?
The technician will discuss your options when parts need to be repaired, replaced, or specially ordered.
At Fitch, we strive to stock our trucks with supplies for repairs and replacements so we can complete your service in one visit. If a necessary part isn’t on the truck but is in our warehouse, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit promptly. However, if your piece isn’t in stock, it won’t arrive immediately. So why not book a tune-up now, conveniently, rather than waiting for an emergency?

Real Reviews from Your Charlottesville Neighbors
See All ReviewsJulie D. (Charlottesville, VA)I can’t say enough good things!! We had an emergency, no AC during the 113+ heat wave on a Friday holiday afternoon (worst timing!!!). I called multiple companies and only Fitch called me back.
Larry was fantastic!! He kept me informed as to when he anticipated getting to us, and called when on his way, and showed up when he said he would.
He was, again, fantastic! Explained the issue and promptly fixed it. Our house was literally 98 degrees. Everything is running smoothly!
And, for an emergency call late on a Friday afternoon, the cost was incredibly reasonable.
I highly HIGHLY recommend their services. We now have them on speed dial and will absolutely be using them again for our needs, even for other services they offer we have yet to use.
Again, thank you Larry & Fitch Services from us and our pups - for being there when we needed you most and delivering exceptional customer service. 5 stars for sure!
Barbara M. (Charlottesville, VA)I am proud to say I have been a client of Fitch Services since they began. My family has always received courteous and timely service for plumbing, heating and air conditioning, and electrical issues. They have installed and maintain a whole house generator. That was a fantastic decision. I use their annual maintenance plans for all of my systems. I personally recommend Fitch Services.
John K. (Charlottesville, VA)I knew of Fitch Services and their technicians via my place of employment. The technician's honest and forthright approach to their work was very much appreciated... They were initially contacted to come to our residence to address a clogged kitchen sink drain line. It was suggested to us we replace the drain line instead of snaking it. When the old drain line was cut out and shown to me, it was amazing anything had gotten through that line! Glad we chose to replace it... We also inquired about replacing/updating all the galvanized supply lines in our home. The scope of the work needed and how it would be done was discussed to make sure we understood... We appreciated the honest assessment of how the project might or would go. While the technicians were on our project, they kept us updated with daily conversations towards the end of their working day. The finished project has been great! We were excited to finally have full flow of the hot water! Fitch is now our 'go to' plumber.
Tom P. (Charlottesville, VA)I've used Fitch for a few years now for both electrical and plumbing work. They are professional and do a great job on things both big and small. Twice we have had pretty huge jobs and they have come in under budget. Plus, the service technicians are friendly and work hard and the office staff communicates very well. Definitely recommend!
