4. During the cottonwood season make sure you shut off you’re a/c and with a garden hose wash those cottonwoods of the condenser (your outdoor unit) using a downwards spraying motion. Do not push the cottonwood into the coil fins.

5. If you have dogs, pay attention that your dog does not urinate on the condenser.6. If your air conditioning or condenser is under your porch or deck make sure there is at least 30 inches of clearance at bare minimum.

7. If your condenser is smacked close to your home make sure the side closest to your home is cleaned, that aspect is always overlooked.
