If you’re trying to buy a new AC unit, there are a few crucial factors to consider. Look at the cooling capacity, the available warranty, the energy efficiency, and the type of unit. A ductless unit will cost more up front but may be a more viable option if you don’t already have ductwork. Additionally, a unit with better energy efficiency will cost less to run overall, saving you money on your monthly energy bill. 

Here’s how AC professionals will clean your AC coils:

1. Unplug the AC unit or turn off the breaker to the unit in your circuit breaker box.

2. Remove the faceplate.

3. Spray a vacuum hose attachment or compressed air can to remove debris, dust, dirt, and grime.

4. Use a soft-bristled fin comb to remove stubborn caked-on debris.

5. Use the vacuum hose to suck up any extra debris.

6. Take a coil-safe cleaning solution and spray it onto the coils. Try to choose a no-rinse solution.

7. Let the solution sit for at least 15 minutes.

8. Gently wipe away loosened grime and debris with a microfiber cloth.

9. Reattach the faceplate, plug in your AC system, or turn the breaker back on.

There are likely dozens of HVAC repair companies that service your area, and choosing the right one can be a tricky process. To hire the right HVAC technician, we recommend reaching out to local companies and ask the following questions:

• Are you licensed and insured?

• Do you have any third-party certifications?

• Do you often work on my specific type of HVAC system?

• Do you provide any warranty for your work?

• Do you offer maintenance contracts for ongoing savings?

• How many years of experience do you have?

Trick question: There is no difference between an AC and a furnace blower motor. Whether you have central air and heat or just one of these, the same blower motor carries hot and cold air throughout the ductwork in your home. Certain systems may have separate blower motors for the AC and furnace, but each serves the same function.
