Pushing the dirt further into the coil.
Please pull the disconnect or shut off the breaker.. Don't ever spray into a unit while it is on or powered up. Rinse the coil and give sime time to dry out befor restarting unit.
Do they have a life span or just when they rot out
This is a fantastic example of an incompetent person doing something wrong and instructing others to do the same. Jesus.........
Well I'm not completely incompetent, I mean this is a fantastic example of incompetence. So I'm competent at providing incompetent examples.... I've done this literally hundreds of times on hundreds of different ACS there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. Every AC guy I know in Florida does the same exact thing.
After school my first job I was told tell's that went against my ethics and I quit after a month
It happens all the time here in Florida....
Holy shit! Do not do this
All I'm going to say is don't do this call professional If you know what you doing then you know If you don't please don't touch going to do a lot more harm than good let me tell you something I took mine apart the fins are very delicate I bought a fin straightener I bought a thin brush I bought so much shit because of the project I did outside kicking dirt everywhere grass everywhere I mean it was chaos I dealt with it myself I back flush the whole thing from the inside out with a foam cannon the correct cleaning solution that is pH neutral not corrosive or not acidic biodegradable non-toxic blah blah blah spent a small fortune I even got me a foam cannon that will dilute straight from the bottle once it sucks it up it will mix it with the water and shoot it out basically no pressure just like a little waterfall like washing your hands less pressure than that actually from your faucet inside your house that has an aerator just let that sink in there no pressure on the machine or you going to fuck it up The fins bend stupid easy I only pulled mine apart because a lot of shit I had in mind plus when it was put together from the factory a lot of the fins were bent over I don't like that shit that's inefficiency then again I didn't pay top dollar for my unit I got me a Goodman Good unit does the job but the people in the factory didn't give a shit
"anybody can do" I don't have a condenser. If I do this, the neighbor gonna wonder why I'm at theirs.
Another great answer!!!
@@greasebellygarage Perhaps I could turn it into a business, but with the way the economy is going, I'd bet more than 30% of customers would blame me for their lack of maintenance when it breaks down years later because I would be the one who "touched it last".
@n085fs welcome to the HVAC trade.... And don't forget, warranty includes parts and labor forever (it actually only includes parts after one year) but they will fight you.
Wooooooooow! Make sure you do not hire this guy!
My unit stays under my patio out of the sun, I live in a really dusty area, I just use a leaf blower and air compressor and blow all the dust out of it about every 3 months.
That works great for dust...
I remember seeing these as four-wheel drive especially and guys with their head wrapped, mounted machine guns on tripods in the back or a post.
Lol My dad had this same truck when I was a kid. I drive this truck all over the place it's a pretty cool little rig.
@@greasebellygarage my dad needs three other guys he's carpooling and one of these little loan bed trucks. Is the long bed 5-speed Toyota truck. I think it might have been a little older than the one you have. How did three guys fit into the truck? Well the other two guys average height according to government specs. Put on the smaller side from where I come from. The owner truck had a camper shell on it. My dad just simply sleep 😴 in back. I thought it was hilarious. That didn't last too long. But the guy who owns the truck said that my dad made good weight for traction in the winter time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, some of us have louvers and the place where the contactor and capacitor live to watch out for. It's just better to spray those from the inside out.
I'm noticing in the comments that about 90% of the people are saying this is the wrong way to do it... this video is kind of reminding me of Clickbait...
This video is like a year old I made it specifically for a few of my customers. It is not clickbait I did professional HVAC work for like almost 30 years this is how I've done it hundreds and hundreds of times. Obviously there are situations where you have to tear them apart but not for your average homeowner.
Here in Washington state the "State of the homeless drug addict money beggars", here in Washington where we only have 2 months of summer and 10 months of "RAIN"(no joke) if your unit is on the north side of your house when spring time rolls around you will literally have a thin layer of moss growing on the fins... yeah, the top has to come off...
Yeah I've never heard of moss on a condenser before but I've never been to Washington state either. Our condensers in Florida are running like 50 weeks of the year since it never really cools down anymore.
As an hvac professional this is not the best way to clean your ac coil. Chemicals sprayed on from the outside the fan removed and hosed out from the inside forcing the debris out the way it came in
This is the wrong way to do this. You need to remove the top, use a cleaner made for aluminum A/C coils and then spray the water from the inside out. The same way you clean a K&N filter. 34 years in the trade and now retired
Turn the power off
100% what not to do. You have to take the top off so you can spray from the inside out. And clean the pan
Don't listen to this guy call a professional and have it clean properly take the fan out use coil foam cleaner he is literally pushing dirt farther into the coil
I must been doing it all wrong by turning the thermostat off and spray from inside out from the top with low water pressure
Same situation as you trying everything the gunk is stubborn!
The nail polish remover works really good but I've heard that baby wipes work really good too but I've never tried them
38 years in HVAC, people DONT do this!
You're supposed to BACKFLUSH the coil.... run water in the OPPOSITE direction of airflow. So you SHOULD remove the top shroud and fan so you can properly backflush the coil !!!
Thank you for telling these idiots
Twice I got electrocuted doing that.
You're just making the problem worst. You clean inside out not outside in. Good try
The way you describe a dirty coil, it would be bad enough to not really come clean with this method. Of course this metgod is great when its already clean, like the one youre cleaning, but then it doeant need to be cleaned. In reality, if their coil is dorty enough to NEED cleaning, they cant clean it.
So many typos
When you think you know what you're talking about, but dont, you get stuff like this. Ive been in industrial support for 40 years. His first mistake is forcing water into a machine thats energized with 240v. Turn off the breaker, Mr. Beer holder. His second mistake is the inside may indeed need cleaning. His third is oxidation will form that needs to be cleaned, and water and soap wont do it. His fourth is thats an easy way to bend the fins,no matter how careful you are holding the hose. Terrible advice. What a joke.
Remind us why we’re checking the F/D before we call?
Because there's a couple of people down here in Florida that like to sell people new systems when their filter dryer is rusty and seeping refrigerant. Not that a regular customer could do much about it to fix it but at least they would know that is a potential problem and get a second opinion if necessary.
@@greasebellygarage Ah, gotcha
This is commical lol
Thank you very much... *Flips hair*
lol at flips hair. My only issue is doing this while the unit is still running. Obviously the best the way to clean them is from the inside out. But cleaning them from the outside is better than nothing.
@rm20235 true....
Yea dont do this.
Disconnect 220v. Remove fan. Spray from inside out. Clean tray.
yea dont follow this video
I live in Canada, every year the AC in the spring gets covered in poplar fluff, just spraying from the outside only would drive it in deeper into the fins. So takin of the fan part is a must, its like the little old lady standing in her garden on a hot summer day, with the hose in hand watering her grass,
This might be true where you live, but is NOT true for everyone. The sides absolutely need to be taken off to properly clean the condensers if you live in a place with a lot of cottonwood trees. A light brushing with a super soft carwash brush while still dry will peel away a dryer lint style layer of fuzz. Then follow with the hose.
This is absolutely true especially because I've never even seen a cottonwood tree.
Never use a pressure washer
The only thing wrong here is the guy didn't unplug the unit. Such a simple step that can save both you AND your unit.
Im just here to read the comments from the facebook experts. We all know they know everything 😂
Sit back and enjoy!
I think I live for the comment sections on social media
This turned out to be far more dramatic than I ever expected it to be! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
@@greasebellygarage I’ve always done commercial hvac the whole time I’ve been in the trade. I love it when residential guys are in the comments on any platform getting onto DIY stuff. How it’s unsafe and blah blah blah.
@Keehn20 My stepfather that raised me was a commercial HVAC technician. I used to go with him when I was a kid and wade around in cooling towers and stuff. He hated residential AC back then. When I got older and ended up in the same industry, I always did residential and I quickly learned that fixing the equipment is easy; dealing with the people is the part that kind of sucks... and of course attics suck too!
Of course the air is warm it's moving the hot air from inside the house
Of course but I said very very warm with poor air flow.... The air should be warm with commensurate airflow.... That's the heat coming out from inside the house...
FYI if the air is warm this means you have good heat transfer.
Bad idea. Not going to clean unit and also will get fan motor wet and possibly fail.
Dude you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Some condensers have double slab coils which if you wash the outside in, you can get the debris inside the inside coil. Always remove the top and wash from the inside out. That is trade practice because the outdoor fan is sucking air through the coil fins so the outside of your coil basically becomes a filter, and you wouldn’t clean a filter from the dirty side to the clean side. Wash from the inside and clean and push out the debris. This is watering your condenser like you’re washing your car or watering your plants lol
Well if you don't water your plants they will die. I have never noticed any difference between double row coils and single row coils doing this. Also double row coils are not as common as people think at least here in Florida. And a filter is designed to deliberately trap dirt even the washable kind. Condensers are not designed to trap dirt, it just happens as a byproduct of their function. That's why it's so easy just to hose it out. Tree pollen chicken feathers are a different story I understand that but I don't think that an average homeowner needs to tear their condenser apart to clean it. Most of the time it's completely unnecessary to do that.
@@greasebellygarage thank you for reiterating my point
You're very welcome!
😐
POWER?
I don't know much, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the other way around..... You don't want the garbage going inside, you want to shoot it out!
From my experience it works both ways except chicken feathers are a pain to get out I've had that problem before.
Turn the power off!! Water and electricity do not mix!!
WRONG!!!!!! WRONG!!!!!! WRONG!!!!! 25 Years in the field. That would work okay for a single row coil. Most coils are doubled up. Good luck getting the dirt out of them when this dunce pushes the debris between them. DON"T FOLLOW THIS HACK!
No more is better...gimme that 3000psi steam pressure washer at 6" away
Lol
