It definitely needs to be cleaned off thoroughly before the two of us start using the a/c method in the late Spring each year
Summer is finally here, plus it’s important for homeowners to remember to clear out around the exterior portions of the a/c units at their homes. This is something that I somehow forget to do every year, although I know that it is very important! I don’t know why I constantly forget to do this, since every year I end up having some kind of an issue with the exterior part of our cooling system. The exterior portion of our a/c method is back behind the garage where the two of us never tend to go. The only thing that is back there is a bunch of storage for the summer time items that the two of us use plus a large pile of yard tools. So I believe it makes sense that I forget that the a/c equipment is back there too. Unfortunately for me, that has where all of the yard debris tends to pile up plus leaves fall from the roof back there pretty properly. All of this debris ends up getting piled on top of the a/c unit. It definitely needs to be cleaned off thoroughly before the two of us start using the a/c method in the late Spring each year. If this is the case at your house, let me caution you to go ahead plus make sure that the a/c equipment is cleaned off thoroughly! If you don’t, you can end up with costly a/c repairs. That has happened to me before when a sizable branch got stuck down inside of the fan blades of the unit.
