The condenser coils are critical for heat exchange. Accumulated dust and debris act as insulation, forcing the compressor to work harder and consume more energy. Use a flashlight to thoroughly inspect all coil surfaces. For 'Dust Accumulation Level', assess the average coverage across the entire coil surface area.
