Question #2: Should I wash off my outdoor unit after performing yardwork? (Yes)

 

"Washing some of the dust or debris off the A/C unit helps the effectiveness of the system," Marshall said.

"We recommend (replacing filters) every four to six weeks to make sure your A/C unit doesn't get dirty," Marshall said.
