So why is your air conditioner not blowing cold air and cooling your home in McDonough Ga?
Well the first thing we suggest is to check your air filter. Have you changed it recently?
If you passed the clean air conditioning filter test then it is time to check the ac coil.
Dirty ac coil means no cooling for you!
What could cause this to happen?
Steve continues, “Overgrown grass and grass clippings from mowing the lawn can easily clog the coil by getting stuck in-between the fins. Additionally, fire ants could also be a problem. We have seen fire ants build a mound right next to an air conditioner pad. The dirt from the mound can clog the coils.”
Is this a DIY repair to unclog a dirty air conditioner coil?
Steve tells us, “It depends. Sometimes it can be done with a garden hose. Other times you may need an AC repair technician to take the condenser cover off and clean it out properly.”
Preventive maintenance is the key here.
- Clean the area around the ac unit including weeds, trash and grass clipping removal. If a yard blower is used then point the blower away from the air conditioner unit.
- Additionally, spray the yard for fire ants to prevent mounds.
- Furthermore, use a garden hose to clean the condenser regularly. Make it part of the yard maintenance routine.
- Finally, hire a licensed air conditioning expert to do an annual heating and air tuneup on the system.
