Why is it Important to Clean the Air Conditioning Coils?

Now, there are a few more technical terms, parts, and science to this process we call air conditioning but I feel confident that most of you now know more about how your air conditioner works than you did when you started reading this hub. Knowing what you know, how about a little quiz to explain why we need to clean our coils. It's only 4 questions and I'm pretty sure you'll pass.

There are a lot of tools used in HVAC, however this project will mostly require items you likely have around the house. There are a few things you may want to purchase to do a better job, especially if you're going to continue doing this for yourself in the future.
If you cannot afford to make any purchases, the below steps will still help you to make a difference in the health of your A/C by explaining the tear down of the unit and how to do what you can with what you have.

Good Job! I'm sure you passed the quiz with flying colors. Now that we know how our system works and why this cleaning is important, let's get started.
It never hurts to have a second set of hands around to assist you in this process.
• First, turn off the A/C at the thermostat and shut off the power to the condensing unit. You can do this by opening the disconnect mounted to the house near the unit and removing the stab connection or fuses. Just pull the handle that you see and the terminal should come out. If you do not have a disconnect for some reason, shut down the power at the breaker panel. There should be a dedicated breaker for your A/C.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Pulling the disconnect cuts the power to the unit, NOT to the disconnect. Electricity is still being supplied to the disconnect itself. Only the breaker at the panel can cut the power to the disconnect itself.
