I got this deal last year. It was a waste of time. The guy was constantly trying to upsell me on their monthly plan. I would not recommend it.

People out here thinking HVAC techs really go out on $9 tune-up calls like it's a money maker or good for business. Even worse, it's through Home Depot who will contract with the bottom of the barrel.
Don't waste your time, money and potential future headaches.

This is basically them upselling you with new furnace or other things. Honestly not worth it.

Might as well just call this a "$8.88 for a system replacement estimste" deal instead of some kind of "tune up".

I got this deal last year. We were about to move and I wanted to have an inspection for our furnace since it was about 20 years old. Worked out great. A good inspection with a nice written report that we could hand off to our realtor.

People are talking about them cleaning out a coil or something here. Where does it say they do that?

I've looked at several local HVAC companies "annual contracts" and none of them actually seem to do anything for the annual visit beyond "inspection". No one is saying they'll clean the evap or condenser coil - something that might actually be nice to do before summer. None of them clean the blower wheel or anything like that. I'm sure they'd be happy to charge you more to actually perform some maintenance.

I have actually purchased this for myself and also for family members and neighbors and I have never had problems in the past.
One transaction or multiples?

This. Normally these companies are paying radio stations to advertise their free inspection/tuneup which is really just a way to get in and sell fixes to people who have no clue about these systems in the first place. Instead, you are paying them.

This "deal" should be legally marked as an ad, in fact it's worse than an ad because you are paying their gas money to come out and rip you off.

What are they actually doing on these tune ups? If they start disassembling things, I'd be worried that they might break something in the process

I'm sure they'd be happy to charge you more to actually perform some maintenance.
I had a furnace checkup yesterday from a local company in my area, they come in and clean the furnace and tell you if anything needs replacing. If something needs to be cleaned further I assume they also do that. Hopefully these guys at least do this. But I am not sure if I would trust them. I stand with the tech the entire time and he's an old guy who knows a furnace, if you have questions about your furnace they also answer those. He also explains how the furnace works to you. I think it costs about $60 and is worth it for peace of mind. I don't think I would do this every year but I change my filter (the most important thing you need to do to keep your furnace running) regularly and I don't have pets or excessive dirt in my house.

I am not sure about cleaning a coil but if there is one and its accessible I am sure they would do that, as far as cleaning the blower motor again if its accessible they should do that if you are ordering a furnace checkup or service. They also inspect things like hoses. However if its something like entire house duct cleaning they will not do that because that's a big job. The AC checkup and the furnace checkup are also 2 different things.

One year I had a checkup and they warned me a part might go on the furnace, the furnace kept getting louder over the next month so we called and they came out and replaced the part but they didn't upsell me on the part right away or anything like that so that was great thankfully we did that because right after we got the part replaced we were hit with the biggest blizzard ever in my area so that was great timing on my part. So this is the type of thing the furnace inspection does they warn you about problems so you don't end ujp in the middle of a blizzard with no heat.

They just called me and scheduled for today. Weird that it has an opening today on Thanksgiving. I am in San Jose, CA. $8.88 for hvac and $8.88 for heater. Will see if it is a waste of money.

Don't ever use Home Depot contractor services, hvac, installers or water testers. They just there to sell you expensive shit you don't need.
