Do-It-Yourself Tips
Cleaning air conditioning coils is a job that can be completed by more ambitious homeowners. It should be noted, however, that this task requires the use of some very caustic cleaning solutions. Therefore, care should be taken and protective gloves and eyeglasses should be worn. Additionally, caution should be used when spraying the coils because excessive water pressure could potentially damage them or create splash back of the cleaning solution.
Here are a few step-by-step instructions on how to clean your air conditioner coils.
- Cut off the power to the unit by switching off the appropriate breaker on your electrical panel.
- Remove the outer panel of the condenser unit.
- Thoroughly rinse the coils using a nozzle connected to your garden hose. Be sure to pause frequently to allow the water to drain and prevent the drain pan from overflowing.
- Spray the coils thoroughly with a coil cleaner. We recommend the use of an alkaline-based foamer, which is effective at dissolving the dirt and grime as well as decreasing the surface of the coils.
- Let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
- The thoroughly rinse the coil again with water from your hose. Be sure to remove all of the cleaning solution from the coils. Once again, remember to pause frequently to avoid overflow.
- If possible, use a wet-dry vacuum to remove any water and dirt left remaining in the drain pan.
