Balch Springs FAQ

How often should I clear leaves from around my outdoor unit in fall?+

Checking every couple of weeks during heavy leaf-drop season is a reasonable habit, more often if you have large trees nearby dropping a significant volume of leaves.

Can leaf debris actually damage the unit, or is it just unsightly?+

It can be a real functional issue, not just cosmetic. Restricted airflow from debris buildup affects the coil's efficiency, and prolonged wet debris contact can contribute to corrosion over time.
