I don't have experience yet, but I will on Thursday.

We had a guy come in a couple of weeks ago to clean the system. Well,
he couldn't clean our closet AC unit (5000 ton) RUUD because it needs
to be pulled out to be cleaned. He quoted $900+. Forget that.

Found a RUUD dealer. They'll charge $378 to pull and clean the
evaporator coils. That's more like it.

If you've never had the inside coils (evaporator coils) cleaned, do
it.

I suspect that's our problem here. I mean it works but it only cools
the house 10 degrees, not 20 like we were used to. The other guy said
that it has tons of dust and hair in it and mold (which I dare not
tell the others in the house).

So perhaps with a good cleaning and getting a really THICK THICK
filter for the intake (like 6-8 inches thick, instead of the little
paper one that you get at the stores), it'll solve this problem.

I'll let you know. Pop me an email in a few days and remind me and
I'll post my findings to the group.

Thanks.






5000 ton...how many BTU's is that? Rooms in your house must be pretty big
if a closet hosts that unit :-)
