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.

Community Reviews

This HVAC tune-up is best understood as a low-cost inspection and maintenance check, with some visits including disassembly, cleaning, testing, and written findings that can help spot failing parts before a breakdown. The strongest reports describe technicians checking filters, coils, drain lines, wiring, capacitors, and heat or cooling operation without pushing repairs. The main drawback is that many visits are described as visual only, with coil cleaning, deeper maintenance, or real repairs charged extra. Upsells, rescheduling, and occasional bait-and-switch pricing also come up, so it feels most useful when the local contractor is reputable and the scope is confirmed first.

They do nothing for the $8.88..They pull parts that they could clean and then quote $127 to clean the part, which takes about 5 minutes. Nothing but upsells.

Just had it done -a complete waste of time - the guy just turned a couple of screws, read some of the meters and kept telling me I need to pay to clean it that he was there to tune it and to schedule cleaning or maintenance.

My experience was actually positive. Home Depot used the same company that the previous home owners used before me and looking them up, they have a 4.8 out of 5 with 1K+ reviews. He checked the air filter (easy), the humidifier water pad/filter (which I didn't even know was a thing) which had rusted out and disintegrated/fused to the basin and cleaned it out. I saw the part number still visible. He said he had the part in the van for $55, but I found it half price at Home Depot and a 2 pack for around $44 at Amazon so I declined him replacing it with his part, but he did show me how to replace it. Amazon has a customer video showing how to do it, but it was nice that he offered.

There was a check list of things to go through, which I'll edit in later. All in all, it took about an hour.

The person didn't try to pressure me to buy anything, he wore coverings on his boots, and he drove in the terrible Midwest snow today to do the job.

Edit: This is the Tune-up list (which, even if I knew to look for all of these, my basic home DIY self wouldn't have at least two of the tools that he used to check/measure the furnace efficiency and likelihood of parts failing.
 
ALL TUNE-UPS:
Check Overall Operation Of System
Inspect & Replace Air Filter (if Provided by Customer) Record Filter Size: X X Inspect Any Condensate Drain Pans For Proper Operation

BASIC COOLING (AC OR HEAT PUMP) TUNE UP

Inspect Contactor for pits or burns
Inspect Electrical connections in Outdoor Unit, tighten if necessary
Observe Condenser Motor Bearings

BASIC HEATING TUNE UP
Inspect Flue & Venting for obstructions, leaks, & clearance to combustibles

For $8.88, this was an absolute slick deal.

The home depot contractor did the tune up for few minutes. During the visit, he offered $5.99 for duct cleaning. He said this is a home depot for only 100 customers, but he said he still could put me in the list. I googled it, but i could not find the same promo. They called me to schedule it, but they did not send the work order that I need to sign. After they did the service, I called them for the bill. They billed me for $599 instead of $5.99. They said I agreed on the phone, they said they have the transcript. I reported to home depot near my home. Home depot store manager called them, but they have not called them back. The contractor really scammed me.

Stay far away from this. Bait and switch. My HVAC created problems after the service (which was a farce), trying to sell me to a new one. I am still scrambling to get it fixed

Has anyone done this before? Do they just check your heater and ac to see if its working well? Do the try to upsell you?
$8.88 is just enough to pay for gas. Use water and a brush to clean the outdoor condenser. Replace the start capacitor and start relay every 5 years. Plenty of YT tutorial videos. Be sure to turn off the AC breaker when working with high voltage.
