The evaporator for the central air system is located directly above the furnace in the plenum. The evaporator may not be accessible, but if it is, you should clean it once a year. If the plenum has foil-wrapped insulation at its front, you can clean the evaporator; if the plenum is a sealed sheet metal box, do not attempt to open it. Here's how to clean an accessible evaporator:
Step 1: Remove foil-wrapped insulation at front of plenum; it's probably taped in place. Remove tape carefully, because you'll have to replace it later. Behind insulation is access plate, which is held in place by several screws. Remove screws and lift off plate.
What You'll Need You'll want to have these tools on hand to clean the evaporator:
* Screwdriver * Stiff brush * Large hand mirror * Household bleach * Wire Step 2: Clean entire underside of evaporator unit with stiff brush. A large hand mirror can help you see what you're doing. If you can't reach all the way back to clean entire area, slide evaporator out a little. Evaporator can be slid out even if it has rigid pipes connected to it, but be careful not to bend pipes.
Step 3: Clean tray below evaporator unit. This tray carries condensation away from evaporator. Pour 1 tablespoon of household bleach into weep hole in tray to prevent fungus growth. In extremely humid weather, check condensate drain and pan every other day. If there's much moisture in pan, weep hole from pan to drain line may be clogged. Open weep hole with piece of wire.
Step 4: Put unit back into place, reinstall plate, and tape insulation back over it.
Step 5: Turn back on air conditioner, and check for air leaks. Seal any leaks with Duct Tape.

How do you clean the condenser and evaporator coils for cental air?
A certain amount of dust will accumulate on your evaporator coils, even if you have been replacing your a/c filter regularly. Dirty evaporator coils can cause the your air conditioning system to become inefficient and freeze up, as the coils become insulated with dust, creating a barrier between the warm air in your house, and the cold evaporator coils. The evaporator coils can be removed from the air handler using tools you will certainly have around the house, i.e. screwdriver, wrench. You must first remove the access panels. Once removed, the condenser unit can be dislodged, and taken outside to be washed off with a hose, and then reinstalled. Freon runs through the evaporator coil. so you may need to bleed the freon from the system before removing the coil, and charge back to proper pressure. For this step, you will need to contact an HVAC technician, as freon is a regulated substance.
