[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 4252406, member: 1564"] Agree with LFR and Swampratt. Window screen held in place by magnets is the solution. I have been doing this for years on my condensing unit since my neighbor to the south decided to plant cotton wood trees in his backyard. Like yourself I got fed up with the complete tear down that was necessary yearly to properly clean it. You will need to keep an eye on it when the cotton wood starts packing on because it will quickly block the screen wire. Easy to brush off though, takes about a minute. You also should use pleated air filters on your return air inside your home. Use a lower merve rating like 6 to 8 and you will actually be removing trash out of the return airstream. The fiberglass, hog hair cheapies are useless. [/QUOTE]
