I guess I'll be opening up the panels and get any debris or dust that

next summer?

Yes, it's already getting chilly here in Edmonton, Alberta. There's
even a frost warning out for overnight. So, I figure using the A/C
won't be necessary until next summer.

Oh, and another thing, someone in another forum recommended that I
rinse the coils with some boraic acid solution, then muratic solution
and anybody know where I might be able to find some? Thanks.

Yikes! I wouldn't put any kind of acid or harsh cleaners on an A/C
unit. Either hose it off or remove debris using a blow gun hooked up
to a compressor. It is a good idea to have an A/C specialist to check
over your A/C once a year, or in your case every 2-3 years.

Here in east TN our A/C units get a good workout and still we are
having sweat-like-a-hog upper-90 temperatures. I clean the A/C towers
2 or 3 times a year using a garden hose or blow gun.

Thanks for your reply. No acid, gotcha. Guess some gentle rinsing
and air blowing will do the trick. Thanks again.
