AC Due for Maintenance With a Dirty Outdoor Coil in Fort Smith, AR (AC Tune-Up)

A Fort Smith homeowner called to have the air conditioner maintained.

What Our Technician Found

Our technician found dirt built up on the outdoor coil (the metal fins that let the system release heat outside). A dirty coil holds heat in, so the system runs longer and works harder to cool the house.

What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job

  • Look at your outdoor coil. A gray or fuzzy layer on the fins means it needs cleaning.
  • Dirty coils cost money. The system has to run longer to do the same job.
  • Maintenance is not just for summer. A fall check means the system is ready when the heat comes back.
