My question got lost in the Dog/AC posts. I simply would like to know what you do from year to year for AC maintenance. Does the freon have to be refilled every year, if you can? Thanks
Just did it yesterday! Bought some coil cleaner and cleaned the external coils with a toothbrush, cleaned the fan motor shat and lubricated it, inspected the drain holes, and cleaned out leaves and old wasp nests. I think freon is only added when needed. You also should keep the inside filter clean. The hardest (and most time consuming) was unscrewing and reattaching the housing.
