Ted, a good tip for when you foam a coil, if you are trying to get the foam all the way through, start at the bottom and work your way up, that way you have a better idea what has been foamed working up.

One of the few things I was told about the air handler drain was to vacuum it with a shop vac after every season. I’m able to draw about a cup of watering in the fall . Every year my A/C mechanic checks my drain & he says it’s always clean & the pan is dry every spring. My air handler is in a crawl space that I can’t fit in because I’m freakishly large. So, I let a pro handle that for me. On a foot note. I have a 2-1/2 ton Trane 14 seer condenser (installed in 2004) for my central air. I had my A/C mechanic install a hard start capacitor in it last year so I can start it with my Honda EU7000is generator. After the cold load pickup I was able to keep it running by dropping the thermostat to 60 degrees. Then slowly pick up my entire house with the same generator. Just so everyone knows? You can stay comfortable in a power outage & keep your family safe. Of course you’ll need an electrician to wire your generator to your house electrical system to pull that off.

the ultra-fine filters really are a mixed bag, they cut down air flow a bit but for those of us with severe allergies and pets they can make life MUCH less miserable. Oddly its not linear how much static-pressure increase they are vs how fine they filter, some finer are less restrictive. There's a few good videos on KZfaq people testing that, ProjectFarm did one recently.

I'm happy to see you washed the coil correctly from inside the unit out. I cringe when I see techs wash from outside and push all that dirt further in the unit and just cuz the outside looks clean they think it is. Doing it proper takes 5-10 minutes longer but saves you from having to go back and service a unit that most of the times can be taken care of off 1 visit.

I also have a Trane unit similar to the one you cleaned the coil on, When I first got it every spring from mid-May to July I would have to wash it out several times because of the cottonwood seed plugging it up, 3 years ago I wrapped the sides of the entire unit with window screen mesh, now every few days I rinse off the mesh and it only takes a few minutes. That was a real pain in the ass!

I like using Nu-Calgon’s Coil Gun. They have an Attachment that goes on it so you can reach down through the Fan Grill and Spray the Coil, without trying to balance the Fan Assembly. I also made an attachment so I can Reach down and Rinse the Coil off using the Nu-Calgon Nozzle. Also I use the Nu-Calgon De- Foamer. A couple drops down in the Condensing unit, the foam is killed, for an easier rinse. I got a lid for my Five Gallon Bucket, put some fittings on it, and put it in line with my Wet-Vac, so I’m not sucking crap, directly into my Wet-Vac. Learned my lesson on that when I sucked a dead rodent into my Vac. and was smelling it for weeks, even after many cleanings of the Vacuum. Retired after 43 Years, in the Trade.

You made it look pretty easy Ted! The only thing I could come up with is possibly utilizing the SpeedClean coil shot wand to get thru the fan grill without removing the top to clean the coil from inside out. Sometimes it is more of a pain to navigate that wand with the top in place tho! Ha! Other than that, maybe a funnel to pour your drain cleaner into the drain. I use an old laundry detergent bottle. It has the convenient little pour spout built right in. That vacuum attachment is a game changer. I bought one after I saw one of your videos years ago and love that thing. Simple yet super useful!

I would recommend a benzomatic soldering and brazing propylene torch kit. Found at Lowes. When i first became a tech, my service manger taught me the trick of using this torch on a heat pump/ AC while it is running and applying the heat of the torch to the outdoor coil in a method of going up and down quickly. This would help to be more efficient while doing a coil cleaning. (Pre Clean before washing with cleaner. A lot of houses have poor water pressure and it makes it tuff to wash out the coils sometimes.

It must be the design of condenser. I clean mine every year or every other year and it looks worse than that. I just cleaned mine last week and it was worse than that. I did it 2 years ago. I’m going to get some pet screen and put it around the entire unit and see if it keeps it from plugging up and doesn’t restrict air flow! My next AC will not have the spine condenser. Another thing I found on mine is that when they install the returns in the walls they just cut into the void between the studs. Well I found mine pulling in hot air from the attic.i made some block off plates out of galvanized metal and it made a difference. Also I installed a WiFi t-stat about 3 or 4 years ago. Well I checked the temp at the stat and it was off by almost 2 degrees. I reset the reading (Honeywell) and it’s now reading correctly. So when I thought I had it set for 72 it was trying to get it to 70, which with all the above it just couldn’t do. When we first moved in we had a lot of big trees. Well they shaded the house nicely. But they died off along time ago due to the Emerald Ash Borer. Well the house would just heat up in the sun. I installed a cable vent fan and it too made a huge difference. Lots of little things add up to a poorly function AC system.

I have an old freon unit and had three big shade trees for the last 20 years. Two years ago the trees were all removed since they were half dead from the drought and a fire hazard. Although, like you, we found out those trees helped with their shade. Probably should get an attic fan and get the insulation redone too.

This is like the people who never changed the oil in their car. The oil will eventually take on the consistency of cake batter if you do not. Every year, sometime during the winter, I would take the top screen off and wash the condense coils real good so they would be clean well before the days got hot enough to be needed. It is not that hard and takes only a few minutes if you do it every year. I also pour bleach into the drain trap several times during and at the end of the cooling season to prevent that cold water slime from forming.

@ZERO-F2G-
@ZERO-F2G- 5 жыл бұрын
Its not that simple, the only way to know what amount of pressure drop across the filter your system can handle without detriment is to measure total static pressure of the system. Its also very helpful to measure static pressure at various points to get an idea of where the total is being used up. Most systems assuming proper design will deliver the correct airflow between .4 and .8 total static pressure. The majority of systems have very little room for any filter above .1 pressure drop, Because of all the other drops, coil, grilles, registers duct friction etc. (sadly many poorly designed systems are adversely affected at even .1 filter drop), the magic filters he refers to are often .2 to .4 in drop, so they cause major problems. When I do manual J,S,and D on tract homes I size at .1 filter drop as its more or less the industry standard, but even then we install a larger filter size than minimum to help offset customers making bad filter choices. In custom installations where the home owner stresses higher level filtration, I size as needed for the associated pressure drop of their choice. In short if you want to use higher Merv rated filters, have a competent tech take static pressure readings and see what your system is at. and what it can handle

If I disconnect too early from a faucet bib I can get a good soaking of water. 50 feet of 5/8 hose can hold 0.8 gallons of water. My solution was to use a "Y" connecter. Simply leave one end of the "Y" connecter unattached anything and closed, then open the valve once the main water supply has been turned off.

I'm suprised you didn't mention the Trane HEPA filter system. Excellent system. Must be cleaned at least every 6 months.

I wish you would have narrated the entire video explaining everything you were doing as you were doing it. especially with DIY videos, some of us are just learning.

This video was brought to you in part by milwaukee tools. Also how is his way of cleaning oils different? That is how you're supposed to clean them.

I always thought it was stupid that these units don't have some sort of fan reverse after the cooling cycle just to prevent this kind of thing.

The old man had a nylon snake that I'd stick down the drain from the air handler about twice a year. I'd tie a small piece of cloth on the end and draw it through. I think that we only had to get real maintenance done on it once.

My unit recently quit blowing cold air and I was freaking out. Did a little good research and all I had to do was spray all the cooton and dirt off the fins and it was back to new

What cleaner did you use? I always take the sides and top off Trane units when cleaning. Doesn't take long and can be really thorough.

Hello fellow youtubian. I bet when you started your binge watching today you didn't plan on watching a HVAC video. Nobody does. It just happens. I bet you enjoyed it also. That's what happens with HVAC videos, no one comes to watch them, but everybody enjoys them.
