Condenser Coil Cleaning
The condenser coil, is the outside unit coil. As you see, it does not have a filter as the indoor coil does. It gets cleaned, in theory, when the rains come. Well, that is not good enough, and needs a yearly cleaning also. The best way to do this is hire a licensed professional. But for the “do it yourselfer”, if you shut off the breaker for the outside unit, (breaker usually next to outside unit), take a garden hose with a spray nozzle, and standing back about a foot, spray top to bottom to remove any loose dirt, grass, etc. this should take about 20 minutes to do completely. Allow the water about 10 minutes to drain away, restore power to the unit, and all should be good for another year.
