leaning a Coil with Water
Keeping your outdoor coil clean is also a preventive measure that will help reduce your energy consumption as well as prevent strain on major components in your system. Turn off power to the outside unit (condenser) and wash down the entire coil with fresh water. Leave power off to the unit for approximately 15 minutes, then turn the power back on. If you live near a saltwater environment this will also help prevent premature rust and corrosion of your outdoor unit.
