I forget what the maker is with the one I cleaned out up north, but putting the top back on its form was very challenging. Finally did it, but whoa! Nice to get those leaves out of there though.

Unit should be cleaned and thoroughly checked by a certified a/c tech twice a year. Let him clean them out.

I suggest you call a reliable HVAC company to clean this, the coil may need to be cleaned also. DeSantis Air Conditioning from Wildwood can do that cleaning their number is 352-330-4433 tell them Art told you to call. |

Turn off power at outside disconnect switch first!!!
Fish the leaves out or loosen them with a wire. Then should be able to blow them out. Be very careful not to poke or damage the thin alum coils Or call a pro |

Is this part of the service when having just an A/C inspection, or would it be considered extra? In reading some of the responses, it sounds like leaves might not be a big deal, but having never had this type of setup, I don't know that for sure.

Lifting the top grill and the fan and fan motor as a single unit is the correct way.

Unless the inside of the unit is filled with leaves to were the heat is not disapated into the air leave it alone. You might have to undo the fan from the screen and the motors are not lite. You might break off the wires.

A lot of people do this. Many of the HVAC companies make more money on regular maintenance service than they make on anything else they do. I flush out my condensate drain every few months, change the filter, and make sure the outside condenser unit is clean. My unit is 5 years old and I have never paid anyone for a regular maintenance service. In fact, I have never paid anyone for a regular HVAC maintenance service in more than 40 years. There is really nothing a technician can do to prevent your system from failing.

You probably can just "leaf" them alone.

Part of the annual maintenance that Chuck Farrell does for us while we sit by the pool sipping coffee and reading the paper.
