Outdoor AC Coil Packed With Dirt and Lint in Greenwood, AR (AC Tune-Up)

A Greenwood homeowner got our flyer in the mail and booked an AC tune-up online.

What Our Technician Found

Our technician found the outdoor coil (the metal fins that let the system release heat outside) packed with dirt and lint, with thick streaks of buildup between the fins. That layer acts like a blanket and keeps heat from escaping, so the system works harder to cool the house.

What We Completed

  • Completed a full AC tune-up.
  • Cleaned the outdoor coil.
  • Checked the refrigerant and the electrical parts.
  • Checked the airflow and the overall condition of the system.

The Result

The coil is clean and the system was checked from top to bottom. Learn more about our AC maintenance.

What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job

  • Dryer vents and cottonwood can clog coils. Lint and fluff stick to the fins.
  • Keep the outdoor unit clear. Give it a couple of feet of open space all around.
  • Do not pressure wash the fins. High pressure can bend them flat.
