Maintain and Restore Your AC Cooling Fins

For your air conditioner to function efficiently, air must circulate properly through the condensing unit. If the cooling fins become bent or clogged with debris, airflow is restricted, making the system work harder and reducing its effectiveness.

Essential Tools

Cooling fins are delicate and can be damaged by dirt, debris, or improper cleaning techniques. A fin comb or coil fin tool is the best way to realign and straighten bent fins.

How to Use a Fin Comb

When cooling fins are misaligned, your AC unit becomes less efficient and may eventually fail. To restore proper airflow, gently run the fin comb over the bent fins, using the correct head type based on your coil size:

• Single Comb – For minor adjustments
• Multiple Comb – For handling different fin sizes
• Interchangeable Comb – For greater flexibility

Selecting the right tool will help restore your cooling fins to optimal condition, improving efficiency and extending the life of your AC unit.
