Why Do You Need to Clean the AC Coils?: One of the areas that need to be taken care of and cleaned often are the coils. They are a huge part of the system and how they are able to function. One of the main reasons to keep the coils cleaned is because they are able to cool the house faster when they free from dirt and debris. Another reason happens to be because the coils is a huge part of the efficiency of the unit. The unit needs to use the coils to cool the air that is then spread through the house. When they are not able to fully do their job the unit is not running efficiently and will use more energy than necessary.
When Should You Clean Your AC Coils: When you are determining how often to clean your AC coils you need to take some factors into considerations. The most standard answer when wondering when to clean your AC coils is at least twice a year. Although this is in a perfect setting but the coils will be outside the home and excess wind and weather can collect more dust and dirt. If you live in a place that seems to have more than average wind, dust, rain and storms you may want to have them cleaned more often. You also want to just keep track of how efficient it is running. If you notice that yours is using more energy than it used to and your bill has gone up then you may want to have them cleaned again.
How Do You Clean the AC Condenser Coils: Cleaning the coils on your unit is not a task that should be done by just anyone. The coils are actually quite fragile and they can be broken if not cared for properly. The best option that you have is to use a garden hose that you can spray down the coils. You want to remove as much of the dirt and debris that is attached to them. It is best to have a professional HVAC company out to tune up and clean the coils for you to avoid damaging them.
