I have a 3 ton American Standard.

Sure. I remove the top fan assembly and use a pressure washer to blow the
mung out of the fins.

Now, my fins don't bend. Be careful.


An HVAC guy I used to work with cleaned my unit; until he moved away.
He sprayed some type foaming stuff on the inside fins, allowed it to
sit a bit and simply hosed it off from inside, towards the outside.

Don't hold me to this but I think the BORG has a similar product for
the DIY person. I will look next time, as my unit needs cleaning,
also.
