Nick Perry shows how to clean your AC unit twice a year to avoid expensive repairs. Remove the outer case, vacuum the coils, hose down the fan, and reassemble. This simple routine saves roughly $500 in maintenance costs per year.
Don't make this landlord mistake and neglect your AC units. They need to be cleaned out twice a year, so here's how you or your property managers can do it. First step, turn off the breaker and make sure there's no power. Then remove the outer case and you'll see the coils. Vacuum them and brush them because that's what's causing your AC unit to overwork. After you finish that, detach the fan on the top and use a hose to spray it from the inside out. And finally, assemble it, and turn on the power. And that, my friend, is how you save yourself $500 in maintenance.
