DeSoto 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.

Does this apply to homes in DeSoto specifically?+

Yes. The guidance in this article applies to residential HVAC systems throughout DeSoto and the rest of our service area. If you want a read on your specific system, call us at (817) 935-8540 or request an estimate and mention you're in DeSoto.
