[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2893399, member: 7629"] oh come on now .. outside AC units are designed to run in the rain. but I wouldn't push my luck and spray one off with the power on. if you've been doing it that way for 32 years, nothing wrong with how you are doing it :D just that others may have different designed outside condensers. usually electrics are protected from the rain, but not all. I've seen units with lots of wires exposed. but newer condensers are usually protected better. still the first thing I'll do when hosing coils off is to flip the main breaker off. but it's silly to wait overnight before turning back on. always spray from the inside out and have a fin comb handy. nothing wrong with doing your own maintenance. but be really careful cleaning inside evaporator coils, which are really fragile. best to keep your filter changed.
