My Condensing Unit Needs Maintenance. How Do I Clean It?

Many customers have weeds, plants, and trees growing around there condensing unit. Your unit cools your home just fine, but it's working way harder to get the job done. Since it is working harder, that means that your unit is working at a higher amperage draw, thus consuming more amounts of electricity. Large amounts of unnecessary wear and tear happen when weed and plants are growing around your unit. You should have the weeds removed immediately. Your air conditioning unit is a significant investment, and you should take care of it. Many people have dryer vents located near or around there outdoor unit. You do not know how bad that is for the health and performance of your condensing unit. We have seen dryer vents 20 feet away from units still taking in lint from the vent. Many units have casings around the coils, so it can be difficult to see the condition of the coil. We have seen homes under renovations take in large amounts of construction materials inside the unit, later to realize the unit compressor has burned out. In your condensing unit lives your compressor, the compressor is the heart and soul of your HVAC system. It is the most expensive component of your air conditioning unit. When the internal pressures in your system increase, causing excess wear and tear on your compressor pistons. You'll shorten the life of your compressor. When the particles, plants, and lint, start to build up in the system your condenser, your compressor works harder. Simple maintenance and TLC gives your unit a longer mechanical life. If you have a water hose, you can perform necessary maintenance to your outside unit. Just rinse the coils with enough water pressure to remove as much dirt and dust off the unit.
