To keep your HVAC system operating most efficiently, regularly clean around the outdoor unit to prevent harmful debris from entering the system. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how to keep your HVAC system debris-free:
Outdoor A/C Condensing Unit Maintenance:
• Clean around the condenser unit: At the end of the summer, clean out leaves, twigs, pine needles, and other loose debris that has found its way into, on top or around of the condenser unit.
• Make sure no flying object surround the condenser: Get rid of all lightweight flying debris within a few feet of the unit’s base.
• Use a leaf blower or compressed air to dust off: Use a leaf blower or compressed air to blow out dirt and dust from the unit.
• Hose down the unit: You can hose down the air conditioner unit regularly to remove dirt and dust.
• Schedule professional maintenance: Have a local HVAC company clean and check your unit each spring.
While surface cleaning is good, you’ll want the professionals to check, clean and lubricate inside of the condenser.
