Clear the outside AC unit and its condensate drain line before cooling season begins, a resident's own home near the town center.

Before cooling season each year, the small gains from clearing debris, washing the fins, and combing them straight erode again on their own, and this home's unit's condensate drain line, unrelated to the coil but just as easy to miss, clogs and backs up, sending water where it does not belong.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before/after seasonal-round photos + flowing drain-line confirmation + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Power off the outdoor unit at its own outdoor disconnect switch before anything touches the cabinet, the base, or the coil, and confirm the disconnect is off before starting.
2. Walk the full clearance zone, the base, and the coil fins and clear anything that has re-accumulated since the last service: leaf litter, grass clippings, or new growth crowding the clearance zone.
3. Locate the condensate drain line where it exits the unit or the air handler, and clear it: flush it with a cup of water at the accessible outdoor drain outlet, or clear a visible clog by hand at that outlet, confirming water runs freely out the far end.
4. Comb any re-flattened fin sections straight again if needed, then photograph the cleared unit, the clear clearance zone, and the flowing condensate drain line, and confirm the unit was powered back on.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Confirmation that the outdoor disconnect was switched off before the cabinet, base, or coil were touched
• Photo of the re-cleared clearance zone, base, and coil
• Photo confirming water runs freely out the condensate drain line after clearing
• Confirmation that the unit was powered back on at the disconnect once finished

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
