Mike Lamb Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'll be sending out a short "get ready for the AC season" news brief to my past customers. My DIY advice for cool air split systems is keep the filter clean, keep stuff away from outside compressor/condenser and clean compressor/condenser coils. What else would you add? Assuming no problems the year before. What non DIY items or advice would you include if any? Would you recommend professionally cleaning inside evaporator coils if it hasn't been done in, lets say, 5 years? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Check the insulation wrap. And yes to the professional service cause they will also check the pressure(s)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Screw the 5-year professional maintenance. I've never seen coils cleaned correctly and they charge 80-$100 bucks just to come to your door. Besides keeping a clean filter, I tell my clients to file and monitor the electric bills. When the summer bill suddenly skyrockets relative to the previous summer, schedule a professional HVAC maintenance. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 They will clean at the outside coil but I hardly ever see them clean the coils of the interior unit which to me is very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
