Last time, I talked about How To Clean Your Central AC Condenser Unit Coil. I immediately realized that I’ll have to do a follow up on the “when” part. It is not enough to know how to clean the unit. You also must know when is the right time for the cleaning and how much effort & time should you put on it.
First, how often should you clean your central AC Condenser unit coil –
I can sum up this content by simply tell you to clean your Air Conditioner condenser unit coil once a year. But that’s the easy way.
Yes, ideally once a year is enough to keep your HAVC system working. But only if you keep doing it from the day you bought your air conditioning unit.
On the other hand, if you haven’t taken care of the unit from day one, you might need to clean it more often.
Note that, if your unit is set up in a place where cottonwood tree or dandelions naturally occur, you might need to clean them more than once a year since they are the main culprit behind clogging.
But if you are super lazy, you can get it clean every time you need AC repair. This way, you don’t have to open the unit for later and you can also let the professionals handle the matter.
See the summary of when is the right time to clean your AC condenser unit coil here in this infographic – When Should You Clean Your AC Condenser Unit Coil? [Infographic]
Now, let’s talk about how much time should you put on cleaning the Air Conditioner condenser unit coil –
Ideally, cleaning the outdoor unit should take about an hour. Bur feel free to take your time if you are new at this. 2-3 hours isn’t a big deal when you are saving hundreds and thousand from AC services & repair for the long run.
Once you are done with the outdoor unit, the indoor part should take more than an hour or so.
That’s about it for today.
