How To Clean Your A/C Coils in 2023 for MAX COLD Air Conditioning Boost + Web Coil Cleaner Review

In this video, I explain how to clean your A/C coils with WEB Coil Cleaner. This is a simple Do-It-Yourself task that you can do in 20-30 minutes when you have the time.

The steps to cleaning your A/C & HVAC units are the following:

1) Ensure you turn off the electrical breaker to your A/C unit to stay safe and avoid being shocked and or electrocuted by your A/C unit when spraying with A/C coil cleaner or when flushing with your garden hose.
--- Remember -- SAFETY FIRST!

2) SHAKE the can of coil cleaner well. Spray liberally to your A/C coils and/or condenser fins.

3) Break time!! Take a quick 10-minute break to allow the coil cleaner to work into the dirt, grime, and build-up in order to break it down and loosen it up to be rinsed away with your garden hose in the next step.

4) Rinse the cleaner, dirt & grime buildup away with your garden hose. Do not use any excessively high-pressure water here, such as a pressure washer to ensure you avoid damaging the coils/fins on your A/C unit.

5) For excessive dirt and grime buildup, ensure you purchase enough coil cleaner for 2 separate applications of the coil cleaner and the above mentioned step-by-step process.

6) Allow enough time to allow your unit to dry before restarting your unit back up.

There you have it! A simple process to keep your A/C bill down and your A/C unit's cooling efficiency up! Nothing wrong with colder air and a lower air conditioning bill, right!? :)

You should spray from the inside out by taking off the fan assembly on top so that you don't put all the dirt inside your A/C unit.

Professionals recommend that the coils be washed from the inside out, otherwise you may force dirt and grime deeper into the coils causing a less effective clean and causing it to be harder to clean next time. It is like a filter, you would not want to force water in the direction of the air going through the filter but instead backflush the filter to get the dirt out

I just had this done about three weeks ago. The repairman gave me great tips. He suggested always taking the top off and spraying from the inside out to clean the unit. He used a chemical which is commercially available. It is a Sodium Chloride based cleaner, so you flush with lots of water after spraying it. Some spray vertically (downward and toward the outside) also helps to dislodge blades of grass from the fins...some of which he also had to comb out for impact bending. He suggested creating a perimeter of about 1.5 feet with river rock or pavers around the unit to keep grass away. Pull the disconnect while mowing. It'll keep the fan off and not sucking in clippings. We also very carefully elevated my unit on its pad a bit for better drainage. My house is cooler than it has ever been.

Great video I clean my coils after watching this video, I was surprised how much dirty came off

[michaelhabib]

After I initially spray down the coils with a hose with just water, should I let the unit dry before using this foaming agent? Or can I can apply the foaming agent while the coils are wet? Thanks!

[christfollower]

My only problem is that your shooting the debris back into the unit. The top is easy to take off and spray from the inside out

[douglasgrant]

On a Bosch AC heat pump unit you cannot use a foaming agent.. The Bosch ac units have a special coating on the coil fins that makes water run off quickly after the defrost cycle. Using the Foaming agent would remove this blue coating, lower performance and allow proliferation of icing of the units coil fins..
Simple Green diluted with water at a ratio of 1 cup to a gallon of water is sufficient to use on the evaporator and condensor.
Use a chemical pump sprayer to apply. Let it set a couple of minutes and spray off with a hose.

Dawn dishwater detergent with a hand pump sprayer works well.

My coils need cleaned badly since fires ravaged my area last summer & covered my unit in ash. Will do this myself today. I can tell my house not as cool as previous years.

[hillracing]

Awesome video super helpful, I bought 4 cans of that stuff fixed my problem!

[SixStringRacer]

Great video. My ac was crazy dirty. Foam literally turned brown as i sprayed it on.

[byronaguilar]

One question. How long I have to wait to dry the unit before I reconnect it? I used that foam that you used. Thank

[rcala]

Good information, instructions, technique, and great narration. Thank you for this gem!

Is 8mm standard bolt size? I have a Lennox unit and think my brother tried to clean it. There are 4 buttonhead(?) Bolts for the fan, one is broke off now. Three of 4 bolts around the perimeter on top are missing too. Not sure what they're for though because they don't hold the cover on as best I can tell and the remaining bolt has some sort of cross member under the cover. Aiming is best to clean from the inside out, it looks like there are maybe 8 bolts around the top of the side perimeter.

[blackguitar]

What do you recommend for fins with a lot of hard water build up?

[ryanmiller]

Quality video. Simple and I believe this will change my bill. You get my thumbs up partner.

[LILOMINOUS]

how much would you charge someone to do that?

[notsofast]

An HVAC repairman cleaned out coils after making a repair. He sprayed the foam on the outside of the coils and said the foam lifts the dirt out. He then rinsed by just letting the water run down the coils. He didn’t spray them like you did. He sprayed lightly letting the water run down the outside of the coils to remove the dirty foam.
