Hi,

We have a central air unit, and I was wondering if it is excessive to have
the condensor taken out and cleaned once every other year.

It's a Payne natural gas unit, (GB1AAV036065) with a blue plastic? cleanable
filter. They replaced the blue plastic filter with a fiberglass blue filter.
It fits poorly.

The two air vents do not have filters. I was thinking that air is getting
sucked in and clogging the condenser unit? Is this excessive?

Also, sometimes when the is igniting, it sounds like the gas is on, but it
fails to ignite? Or it sounds like it does ignite but the unit fails to
notice it's ignited? It happens about once in every 4 cycles.

It has been cleaned before because it would not heat. It would try to ignite
3 times and then just stop.

Just wondering if changing the vent opening and putting in a filtering vent
would help it out.

Thansk guys. I appreciate it .
