Check out how easy it is to clean your air conditioner condenser! This is important annual maintenance that will extend the life of your air conditioner, and help make sure you always stay nice and cool inside on hot summer days. A dirty condenser coil will make your air conditioner work harder, run longer, and shorten its lifespan! All that adds up to costly premature repairs. The process of cleaning your A/C condenser is very easy, and I show you every step of the way exactly what you need to do and how to do it.

How are you a tech? The way he placed the fan could cause the blades to bend and lead to excessive vibration. It's usually best to disconnect the fan or if it the older rheem/rudd units you can flip the fan to where the blades are facing upwards when you remove the top plate.

@@jesussavesanus9790 your name suggests you are a troll. also where the person placed the fan has no connection to the cleaning process, and you can easily just place the fan in a position that would prevent it from becoming damaged.

Thanks for this great video. My A/C company last year came out to do an annual service. They said I needed a Deep Clean of the condenser. It looked more like your unit, not your friends. But I said ok. They charged me $235. I watched him do it. He sprayed on the chemical on the Outside, waited 10 minutes then sprayed it down with the hose. I said to myself "I got ripped off, never again". I got that same cleaner from Home Depot and I am going to clean it myself, but the right way from the inside out. I even use my shop vac to clean out the pipe that the water drips out of. The only thing I can't do is go up in my attic to clean the coils. Thanks for the great video. I am a 73 young woman and I can do it!

There are 2 sets of coils. The coils being cleaned in this video are the condenser coils and is relatively easy to DIY. The “mystical” coils you’ve heard about are the evaporator coils located above the blower and requires more intricate details to clean. The evaporator coils usually stay cleaner if you regularly change your filter. It’s still a good idea to get them cleaned every so often though.

Um,, the outside condensing unit doesn't effect CFM on the inside. That sounds more like your evaporator coil. Be very careful when cleaning the evaporator coil, DO NOT USE CONDENSING COIL CLEANER on an evaporator coil, and that cleaner can eat up the evaporator material. They have a spray on no spray off required cleaner for the evaporator that works great on the inside on the furnace. One thing you always want to do to save time, product/materials which = $$, is take a brush and CAREFULLY remove the heavy sweater off the front of the coil. They make special brushes for this, but it's basically just a small, hand held nylon bristled brush. Just use very light pressure and watch to make sure you're not damaging the fins! Once you have the heavy stuff off, your time and materials will be much more efficiently utilized.

HVAC in Alabama here. Good video. We use a stronger foaming cleaner but the mere spraying through the coil fins with water will help a lot. I would add that when there is a lot of debris on the outside, brush or blow off as much of that as possible before applying the coil cleaner. As stated in the video, be sure to spray straight through the fins because even water can bend them. I've spent MANY hours straightening coil fins. The flashlight test is a great idea.

It was gentle enough to remove 98% of the layer without damaging the coils. I got the A/C Saver foam from Home Depot. I was disappointed-it barely foamed and just did a stream, so I put it on about 3 times. What foaming cleanser do you use, or is it something only available to HVAC workers?

I showed him how to clean his air conditioning condenser the same method as featured in your video about how to clean air conditioner condenser coils. He learned something from me in how a dirty furnace air filter needs to be changed to prevent a furnace breakdown. The whole furnace and air conditioning condenser had to be replaced. Thank you for your helpful video How to clean air conditioner condenser coils. Some friends and others have said,”You really know your stuff.” A friend was impressed last weekend of me showing her how to clean a dryer vent duct with the Gardus LintEater Pro dryer vent cleaning system. She was surprised I knew why her clothes dryer was not drying clothes, as her 16 foot dryer vent duct was clogged with lint from the basement to outside. She learned something from me that lint build-up can cause a house fire. She commented,”You really know your stuff,” about dryer fires and prevention. The dryer vent cleaning system kit featured on your dryer vent cleaning video had helped me show my neighbors, friends, family and others an awareness of dryer fires and how to prevent dryer fires inside homes.

I have a honeywell, and it emails me monthly reports each month that compare that month's usage (i.e., actual A/C runtime per day) to the prior year's... complete with average daily temperatures etc. Armed with a bit of data, it should be relatively easy to determine if your system is running any more efficiently after the cleaning.

Thanks KZfaq, I had planned to do nothing this weekend. Not a huge project but still something. Thanks for the vid.

Great video! I moved into a new home and the AC clearly hadn’t been maintained. After following this procedure, I’m happy to report the AC is beating the Nest thermostat estimates for time to cool by more than 25%!!! Note: if your ac hasn’t been cleaned ages, you may need multiple cans of cleaner. Proud to report I did this all on my own as a petite woman.

My family has saved $15.00 to $20.00 a month on utility bills with me cleaning my family's air conditioner condenser coils regularly.

Helpful hint...... always start at the bottom of the coil. As the foam expands, gravity makes it go downward blocking what you are spraying through.

Thank you! Finally a fellow tech that shows the proper way to clean the condenser! One guy used fire and almost everybody else sprays from the outside in! Thank you for not being ignorant and posting a great video.

Keeping the area around the condenser clean cuts down on the debris that re-enters the coil. After washing go back a few days later and remove the debris on the ground that came out of the condenser coil during the cleaning.

Studying hvacr diagnosis for most of my life, I have learned that dirty coils are the cause of numerous problems and catastrophic failures. I’ve also learned that most people don’t get that.

I couldn't agree more! "An ounce of prevention.....". As for my water heater, I've always had city water but I installed a water softener anyway, mostly because my glassware was coming out of the dishwasher sort of milky-looking. Anyway, as the water was still considered "hard" at 10-12 grains of hardness, I'm glad I did, even though my neighbors thought I was crazy, but....I don't need to drain the water heater anywhere near as often as I once did.
