Seems the order of operations is backwards. Should have shop-vac'd the floor when everything was dry. Then rinse the outside and inside with those to get the loose dirty out. Foam the inside only, let sit 10 minutes, and then one final rinse.

I did this after getting a $200 electric bill in July this year. After cleaning, my August bill was $160. Not bad for central Florida where the heat index in over 100 degrees in the summer months. Thanks for the video!

FYI watch the water pressure when cleaning the fins. I made a mistake of cleaning a unit at a previous home and it was more pressure than I thought and ended up bending some of the fins.

Vac the dry debris on the bottom of the pan inside

[@TomWilson8003]

The shroud should be taken off before foaming.

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

No, you do not need to use this gunk. If anything, some diluted Dawn sprayed on it. But water ( not high pressure or you'll bend the fragile fins) just the fan spray from a nozzle.

A pro would remove the casing and do a proper clean and flush from inside out

[@pbee73]

I open the top of the units and vacuum any debris that fell in. Then I spray the cleaner from both sides of the coils and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes. I use the shower setting on the hose and flush it from inside out to assure the debris isnt pushed into the coils.

Wow…I’ve NEVER done this before. I live in FL and my AC unit has been barely cooling lately, even though we replaced the condenser? I’m going to try it out today. Thank you KZbin university!!

[@RMalai]

except the high pressure wash, everything else is satisfying to watch. no, I would not use a power washer. just garden hose to rinse the cleaning agent.

Thank you for sharing. Not many people willing to help others. Blessings to you.

This hadn’t been done to my unit since I moved in years ago!! Did it myself tonight. Thanks for the video.

[@chezchezchezchez]

This is amazing. Had no idea I was even supposed to do this proactively!

[@hoonetic]

Time to do this before it gets really hot in central Florida. Thank you for the video! :)

[@calebcooper2645]

Thanks bro. Loved the tutorial. Straight to the point no filler or waste. I appreciate that.

[@harlemworld4169]

Your videos helped me successfully clean my indoor and outdoor ac coils and I've never touched an ac before. Excellent videos!

[@user-fp7mw5lf9d]

I do this in spring, mid summer, and at the end of summer. My large window unit is 8 years old, small ones are about 5. Run like champs!

[@LonjeMarie7]

Thank you very very much for this video. It’s hard out here on these pstreet sometimes being single I have saved so much money and time fixing stuff off of KZbin safely and I actually saved money. Thank you so much!!!!

[@wannabetrucker7475]
