Whether it’s Summer or winter, cleaning an outside a/c is not difficult, however the time and effort it takes will be well worth it, as it will improve your family’s comfort and energy efficiency.
If you would love to do it yourself, then you will need to gather the necessary supplies together in order to prepare to clean your A/C component outside.
You will need a garden hose, shop vacuum, screwdriver, rags, a replacement filter, a pipe cleaner or soft bristled brush, and a fin comb. It is a great idea to turn off the power to your A/C component at the breaker box. The wet/dry vacuum with the soft-bristled affixment can detach any dirt, dust, or other hour particles from your component and within the fins for anything you weren’t able to detach yourself. You may use a fin comb or even a butter knife or other thin instrument to straighten your fins back to their original position in case they have been bent. If applicable, locate the air filter and detach it. Spray it with a strong jet of water from the garden hose if it is reUSAble. Replace the filthy A/C filter with a up-to-date 1 if it isn’treUSAble. Remove the top access panel with a screwdriver. Carefully place it to the side. Look for dust, grime, trash, and other build-up on the condenser coils. Use a shop vac to detach debris. Once you’ve vacuumed everything up, rinse the leaves with a garden hose to detach any remaining particles. Be careful not to bend the delicate fins during vacuuming. Most of the time, a wet rag is all that’s needed to clean fan blades. Vacuum or detach any debris that has built up in fan vents. The access panel can now be replaced. Connect the component to power again.
