Dust, dirt and other grime can accumulate on your air conditioner coils, because there is such narrow spacing between them, as air passes through them during the cooling process. If allowed to build up over time, the debris can decrease your system’s abilities to cool your home and in extreme circumstances it can even block the airflow completely. Dirty coils can make your home less comfortable, shorten the lifespan of your device, and even cost you more money. When your coils are covered in grime it can cause the system to work unnecessarily harder putting increased stress on the fans and compressors which can cause them to burn out faster. When they do finally break sooner than expected you will have to have an increased amount of service calls and repairs of various parts of the system, or even needing to replace the whole device.
Cleaning your air conditioner properly is important to maintain your comfort at home and to keep your system at peak performance. There are several methods that can be used including with compressed air, household detergents, or commercial cleaners.
