Easy tips to keep your cooling system condenser clean
Most homeowners can accomplish minor service plus repairs on their own if they are smart enough to read plus follow a few basic tips. I decided that I would try to clean the condenser on my cooling system myself after learning the manual plus following a few online tips. First plus foremost you need to constantly make sure to turn the power off to the component before trying to do anything relating to cleaning it. The manual instructed me on how to do this using the kill switch that was installed not far from the outside unit. Once that was done I was able to detach the exterior housing plus expose the condenser to begin the cleaning process. First I was able to use a Shop-Vac to detach the leaves plus debris that have blown in over the course of the winter season plus following that I begin cleaning the condenser coils themselves. The website I checked recommended using a easy cleaner solution plus using care in cleaning so that I did not bend any of the panels on the condenser. By performing this easy task the component will run more efficiently plus I made sure to change the filter once I completed the task as well. I will still have my system serviced at least once a year however at least I know I am doing the best I can to improve its efficiency plus prolong the life of the unit. Taking care of easy things like cleaning plus changing filters yourself can save you a significant amount of money in the long run because your system will more than likely need less repairs.
