While Cottonwood trees may be lovely to look at, homeowners in this area may not realize just how detrimental to their air conditioning systems they can be. This is because Cottonwood trees drop their fluffy seeds when the wind blows, and those seeds  can build up on the outdoor coils of our air conditioning systems. This can cause a number of problems. Keeping the outdoor coils of your air conditioning system clean and free of any such debris is a simple task which can really pay off. Here are a few examples of how clogged up coils, due to Cottonwood trees or otherwise, can negatively impact your AC in Fort Collins, COContact Fort Collins Heating & Air Conditioning for any AC services that you may need.

Low Energy Efficiency

Even if your clogged-up AC is still running as it ought to, it is going to use a lot more energy than it should have to in cooling your home. Because of this, you are going to wind up paying more money for a lesser perfomrance from your system. Keeping your outdoor coils clear of Cottonwood seeds and other detritus will help to eliminate any such problems.

Additional Strain on System
