Blog » Condenser Coil Cleaning
Is your air conditioner running but not cooling like it used to?
One of the most common causes is a dirty outdoor condenser coil. The good news? You don’t need expensive equipment or special tools to fix it—just a few minutes of your time.
In this post (and in our quick video guide), we’ll show you how to clean your AC condenser coil in under 10 minutes, using only everyday items. This is one of the easiest ways to give your system a performance boost and extend its life.
Your outdoor condenser coil plays a big role in cooling your home. When it’s clogged with dirt, grass clippings, or pollen, your AC has to work harder to keep up. That means:
Higher energy bills
Reduced cooling performance
Added strain on your system, leading to costly repairs
A simple rinse can restore efficiency and help your AC run like it should.
Here’s the quick DIY method we shared in our video:
Turn Off Power
Safety first—switch your AC unit off at the thermostat or breaker box.
Clear Away Debris
Gently remove leaves, twigs, or grass from around the outdoor unit.
Rinse the Coil
Using a garden hose with a standard spray nozzle, rinse the coil from top to bottom. Avoid using a pressure washer—high force can damage the fins.
Let It Dry
After rinsing, let the unit air dry before turning the power back on.
That’s it! No fancy tools, no special cleaners—just a garden hose.
