What is the process on cleaning coils?

1. Turn Off Power - Ensure the system is powered off to prevent electrical hazards and injury from moving parts.​

2. Access the Coils - Remove any access panels or grilles to reach the evaporator and condenser coils.​

3. Remove Loose Debris - Use a soft-bristle brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris from the coils.

4. Apply Coil Cleaner - Spray a non-acidic coil cleaner onto the coils, following the manufacturer's instructions for application and dwell time.

5. Gently Scrub the Coils - After allowing the cleaner to sit, gently scrub the coils with a soft-bristle brush to remove stubborn dirt and grime. ​

6. Rinse Thoroughly - Rinse the coils with water, starting from the top and working your way down, to remove all cleaning solution and debris. ​

7. Inspect and Dry - Inspect the coils to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling the unit. ​

8. Reassemble and Test - Once the coils are dry, reassemble any components that were removed, restore power to the system, and test its operation to ensure proper functionality.

Avoid High-Pressure Water: Do not use water pressure exceeding 140 psi, and maintain a distance of at least 3 inches from the coils to prevent damage. ​

Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using acidic or caustic cleaners not approved for HVAC systems, as they can damage the coils and void warranties.

Protect Electrical Components: Ensure that no water or cleaning solution comes into contact with electrical parts to prevent short circuits or corrosion.
