Author: Did you know you have to do maintenance on your RV air conditioner? I knew about changing filters on our home unit and having annual check ups, but had no idea there were a few simple maintenance tips that could help extend the life of our RV air conditioner. In a recent seminar presented by Terry Cooper, the RV Professor, and hosted by PPL, I learned some important information that I want to pass on to all RV owners. When you take off the cover on your roof AC unit, you need to look at the small vents on the side. These are referred to as ‘fins” and when they are crimped, bent or dirty it reduces the air intake of the unit and, of course, will then reduce the efficiency of your AC. Simply straightening these fins with a fin comb can make a world of difference on how well your AC unit performs. Then, if you take the time to spray these intake coils with Envirochem Air Conditioner Coil Cleaner, the dirt and lint will wash away without the use of special pressure sprayers. You’ll be surprised how much dirt and dust will build up on your roof. Use this cleaner regularly and you will prolong the life of your AC unit.

This coil cleaner will also work wonders for your home AC system. I recently had a maintenance man look at my electrical system because of excessively high power bills. He found that the AC coils on the inside were extremely dirty causing the blower motor to draw more power to run. He used a can of the Envirochem Air Conditioner Coil Cleaner and cut my power bill in half!
