Our team takes extra precautions when we clean the AC coil in the attic. We first start by turning off your AC’s power to make sure we can clean it safely. Next, we inspect your refrigerant pressure to assess if there’s a need for AC coil cleaning.
Once the first two steps are done, we can then take off the outer casing to gain access to your coils. We rinse it with water and then spray it with an eco-friendly and sustainable coil cleaning solution.
After spraying the coil cleaning solution, we rinse it again and use a high-powered vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove any loose debris or dust. Finally, we re-check your refrigerant pressure to make sure everything’s in top shape—because your safety is always our top priority.
