Milford, NH Homeowner Looks To Get Ready For The Summer Months
Located in the outdoor components of a home’s air conditioning units, condenser coils are a critical component to the proper functioning of a home’s AC. Since this is out of sight, many homeowners can overlook cleaning the condenser coils. Before cleaning the condenser coils, disconnect the unit and make sure there is no power running to the system. You can then remove the outdoor condenser fan. This is likely bolted in place and will require removing the screw-like center. Now that the condenser coils are easily accessible, you can spray them with a foaming chemical cleaning agent designed for this type of job. Follow the directions for the cleaner, which is typically to allow the product to sit before wiping away the dirt.
A Milford homeowner realized that he had not done any cleaning on the outdoor unit of his air conditioning for some time. Concerned that it may affect the running of his air conditioning system, he contacted the team at Joyce Cooling & Heating Inc..
Signs That Your Condenser Coils Need to Be Cleaned
An air conditioner’s condenser coils pull in a lot of dirt and debris from outdoors when the system is operating. This area should be cleaned annually, with the optimal time being right before air conditioning season. If the condenser coils are too dirty, the AC unit will not run properly. You may notice that the air conditioner is running longer and working harder to attain your set temperature. The coils can also develop frost during operation. This all greatly affects how energy efficient your AC unit is, costing you money in lost energy.
Preventative Maintenance on Your AC Unit Includes Cleaning Condenser Coils by a Technician
It is a good idea to have an experienced HVAC technician service your air conditioning at the start of the season. This will not only identify any problems, but it will also ensure that your entire system has a thorough cleaning including the condenser coils. While you can clean these parts of your AC system yourself, annual maintenance will do the job and make sure the system is running properly.
The Milford homeowner was happy to have a Joyce Cooling & Heating Inc. technician perform preventative maintenance on his air conditioning unit. Now he can know that his condenser coils have been cleaned and that the system is functioning properly.
