Check your coil outside. I just cleaned mine this morning. The unit was caked with it.

I have almost found myself capable of assault on neighbors who willfully plant female cottonwoods next to our farm! The fluff has a charge that makes it stick to fruit if it gets close.

I bought a roll of nylon window screen and cut pieces to cover the air intakes on my A.C. I use magnets to hold it in place. When it gets covered with cotton wood seed I just take it off, brush it off, and put it back on. Works great.

Had a car overheat many years ago…cottonwood caked radiator was the culprit. I’m with you, BP…

They grow everywhere here. Last two weeks it looked like it was snowing.
As kids, when it wind-rowed up on the side of the road we would light it at night and watch it burn fast and blue.

Oregon is ripe to burn to the ground with the drought we're in. Hope folks are able to resist the urge!

I get volunteer cottonwood trees in a lot of my pots. I pot them up in other pots and sell them for $20.00 each. Some people like them and some people hate them. I hate when the cottonwood fibers get twisted around my fishing line and clog my reels.

Balm of Gilead is a good use for the buds in the Spring.

Guess I'm lucky, we don't have them here....just Norway Maples that sprout from seeds everywhere!...clogs the gutter screens, and have to blow windrows of the darn things off the decks...

As a former HVAC/R tech, those trees kept me busy a few times.

No cotton wood but for some reason they placed the dryer vent over the top of the ac, maybe that would work for it as well.

Never had AC, therefore no problem.
