Turn off the power supply:
Please remember to switch off the power to your air conditioner before you begin cleaning it. Cleaning an air conditioner while it's running is risky and should be avoided. Locate the service panel on the external condenser or compressor to turn off the power.
This is usually a shut-off box located close to the unit. We propose disconnecting the system at your breaker box if you can't find the service box.
Air Conditioning Filters Should Be Cleaned or Replaced:
Sanitizing or replacing your air filters is the simplest and most crucial step in cleaning your air conditioner. Replaceable or reusable filters are situated within or near the end of the air-inlet side of your air conditioning system's furnace or air-handler cabinets.
Sanitize or replace your air filters twice a year or when they become clogged with dirt, hair, or dust to preserve adequate airflow.
Clean the condenser coils on your air conditioner:
Remove the side and top panels, commonly known as the protective grilles, from the condenser unit to clean the air conditioner condenser coils. This can be done with a screwdriver or a nut driver, depending on the type of fastener needed.
Simply remove the side panels by unscrewing them and pulling them away from the device. Remove the top, which may be heavy, and be careful not to pull on any of the fan's wiring.
Debris from the condenser must be removed:
To clean your air conditioner, remove leaves and debris from the base of the condenser. If the air conditioning condenser has a drain, make sure it's clear of any debris.
Use a vacuum and a towel to thoroughly clean the fan blades of the blower. After that, secure any loose mounting bolts. If the fan motor has oil ports, apply a few drops of lightweight oil or spray WD-40 into the ports.
Using a mop, remove any excess water from the device. Reassemble the condenser when you've finished cleaning the air conditioner.
Any weeds, twigs, or vines that may obstruct airflow via the condenser unit should be removed.

- Remove any large bits of debris using gloved hands.
- Using a soft brush attachment, gently vacuum the condenser fins. Take cautious not to bend any of the fins.
- Clean off loose material (grass, leaves, etc.) on the outside unit with the water hose spray.
