The latest technology is a sandblaster that allows you to add the cleaner
directly to the mix.

find the refrigerant tubing. follow it to where it enters the air
handler. Remove all of the access doors on the air handler.

Inside, you will see the coil.

If you were to use a high quality filter, there wouldnt be a need to
clean your coil. People in the trade find it easier to change the
high quality filter on a regular basis than going thru the expense of
cleaning an evaoprator coil.

Shhh fish. You're giving away all our trade secrets. Besides those
fiberglass spun throw-a-way filters are so cheap on sale. Who can pass
up that bargain of a filter.
