So not doubting this to be true, but I had inherited a 2/3 year old Hisense unit from my home's previous owners. Was in great shape. I'm obsessed with moldy ACs and always clean them really well. I did my usual trick of degreaser to clean and bleach water to sanitize. Not only did the bleach start to corrode some of the fins but I think I got degreaser in the motor bearings and the fan ran like s***. Had to throw it away. On my new units I used this spray. Not only is it easy to use, it's lemony fresh and did a much better job at cleaning. It also kills organisms without using bleach which is very harmful to the cheap thin metal that all AC units use for the fins.
It isn't so much being "reputable" but use case. Most of the corrosive coil cleaners are contractor grade, meant to be used exclusively on certain types of condensing units / condensing coils / cooling towers (never on evaporator coils), require dilution, and heavy rising. They can be very hazardous in the hands of those who claim to 'know enough to be dangerous' (and generally are...but not in a good way).
This on the other hand is more of a foaming detergent / deodorizer vs a rather caustic 'cleaner' you likely find at an HVAC wholesaler.
I use this with a plastic tube attached to reach vehicle heater cores. Clean the living F out of them. Heater cores get loaded with hard to remove accumilated substances. Makes a huge difference.
This foaming AC coil cleaner is valued for loosening caked-on dirt, improving coil appearance, and helping units cool and run more efficiently. It is also used on mini splits, RV ACs, vehicle heater cores, and older units, with reports of easy application and a fresh lemon scent. The main cautions are that some coil cleaners can be corrosive, this can still need a rinse for stubborn buildup, and larger units may take two cans. It is a practical cleaner for hard-to-reach coils when used carefully.
Homeowners prepping a neglected AC for summer, because the foam loosens caked-on debris and can improve cooling and lower power use.
It is positioned more as a foaming detergent/deodorizer than a caustic contractor-grade cleaner, and it has been used on mini splits and home units without issues. For best results, power off the unit and rinse carefully; aggressive corrosive cleaners are the ones more likely to damage thin fins.
It does not appear to include a tube, so it is less convenient for tight spaces like car air conditioners. A cheap introducer straw or separate tube can be used as a workaround.
A single can can work, but a decent-sized home unit may need two cans for a thorough cleaning. The foam helps loosen grime and can improve cooling, but larger coils may need extra coverage.
It can improve coil appearance and cooling by loosening caked-on debris, and one use on an older unit reportedly cut power use by about 25%. It is also used to remove the "dirty sock" smell in older vehicle AC systems.
Wouldn't 10 minutes of my time and using a garden hose to wash the coils do the same thing?
Yes, you can hose off your home A/C condenser coil and even use dish detergent or any other liquid soap or cleanser on the outside unit. It's best to spray from the inside of the unit to dislodge leaves, grass, and debris which are mostly on the outer fins. These coil cleaners are most useful for refrigerator condenser coils, HVAC evaporator, and other areas where it's not practical to hose it down or where you might have embedded dirt or sticky grease and grime.
I had read on a HVAC pro forum that many of them use dilute simple green in a sprayer to clean the coils safely and effectively for a fraction of the cost. I'm not pro myself so only have experience on my own condenser coil, but it seemed to work fine
