My maintenance guide does not specify to clean coils and my Maintenance Insurance won't. The coils are very difficult to reach and appear to be corroded any suggestions?

If you are talking about the A/C coil in you unit I would recommend a professional clean it. Some folks on this board have cleaned them themselves but it is not a job for a person with no mechanical skills if you know what I mean.

A/C evaporative coils. They are very difficult to get to and very expensive to have cleaned. Any way I might be able to clean them AND if they are corroded should they be replaced?

Yes and yes, if they cannot be cleaned or are very rusted or leaking.

Sometimes they must be removed by a Tech to be cleaned.

The below link will tell a general way to clean most a-Coils that are not overly corroded or dirty.

Be careful and if hard to get to, may best to go ahead and call a Tech.

Thanks,
Robert
