I am hoping to get some advice on my central air compressor unit issue. I had a central air sytem installed in my brownstone back in 2004. Since then, I have had to have several acid washes on the coil in my unit. I was told this is because I have a great deal of dirt, dust, leaves, feathers (from pidgeons) etc. that cake on the coil and cause the need for the acid wash. Over the few years I have had this unit I have been extremely attentive to keeping the area around the unit clean as well as cleaning the unit itself at the end of the season and covering it when it is not in use tightly with a bungy cord. My question is this: Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what have you done about it? Just to wash this coil costs $525.00 from my central air company in addition to the fee that I pay for general service calls which is around $400.00 for the year. Any advice/information would be appreciated. Thank you.
my compressor when out on my carrier central air condition, because of a maintenance, how often should clean, and what the average price of a new carrier compressor.
Clarification – clean the condenser, not the compressor. Here’s a link to a product:

From what I’ve heard you should be able to “wash” the compressor yourself. There’s a product in a spray can you can buy from Home Depot. You’ll always need to do this at least once a year.
