The Benefits of AC Outdoor Unit Cleaning
Cleaning the outdoor AC unit and its condenser coil will help to keep your air conditioner energy-efficient and operating within its original specifications.
Benefits of AC unit cleaning include:
- More Efficiency: Removing debris and buildup from the condenser coils makes it easier for your system to dissipate heat and cool your home. You will spend less on your utility bill for a more comfortable home.
- Extended Lifespan: A dirty outdoor AC unit forces every component in the system to work harder. This can dramatically reduce the lifetime of the system. Regular cleaning can help your air conditioner last beyond 15 years.
- Fewer Breakdowns: With a more efficient system and less strain on components, there is a lower risk of faults and breakdowns.
- Better Cooling Performance: Your home will feel cooler and more comfortable, even on the hottest summer days.
Should I Clean My AC Outdoor Unit or Call a Professional?
It’s best to have your AC outdoor unit cleaned by a professional.
- A professional will avoid any damage to electrical and mechanical components.
- An expert service ensures the correct tools are used to safely remove debris and grime without damaging cooling fins.
- Professional HVAC service is typically faster. It saves you time, and because there’s no risk of damage, it could also save you money.
There’s another factor to consider. Most HVAC manufacturers require that an air conditioner be maintained by a licensed professional every six months. The manufacturer may deny coverage if you damage your equipment and try to make a warranty claim without a detailed service record.
It’s always safer and more convenient to call a professional for AC outdoor unit cleaning and all of your HVAC maintenance needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does My Indoor AC Unit Need Cleaning?
Yes, the indoor evaporator coil is as crucial as the outdoor condenser coil. During a service visit, your technician will clean both sides of your air conditioner.
How Often Should an AC System Typically Be Serviced?
An air conditioner needs service every Spring. It includes cleaning, calibration, lubrication, safety testing, and general maintenance to prevent or address wear and tear.
The only exception is if you use an electric heat pump for heating and cooling. Heat pumps need service twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. Additionally, if you have a furnace, it should be serviced once a year in the Fall.
