I take issue with several of the HVAC companies who use the term "tune-up". It reminds me of the old days when you had to get your car tuned up with new spark plugs, points, distributor cap, etc. Checking and cleaning your HVAC system is not a tune-up, and can be done by any homeowner. You don't need an HVAC technician for that.
