Thought at first that they painted the suction line insulation with mastic because it looked like the right diameter but when you opened it up I realized it was all iced up and no insulation on it when defrosted evap coil definitely needs chemical and brush cleaned but I would be afraid to clean it in place with water up there that's one I would suggest giving up a closet and replacing the ahu , tying the duct's into so it would be acceptable that's crazy the way they done it !! That's a walk away from one there if they didn't change it! Been in many tight attic's before some worse than that but I am small so I would do it when others wouldn't or couldn't and younger but older now and wiser getting stuck is no fun I can tell you that!! Also them duct knives are good for more than just ducts!! You are definitely a better man than me if you do it that is definitely a job worthy of a nice bill for neglect and ignorance!
Watching you brush that coil , my thought was “it’s like pissing on a forest fire “. I can’t comprehend how people are so dense to the importance of filter management. Cheapest thing you can do and gain the most benefit.👍👍🇨🇦
Well Curtis the condenser coil and evap coil needs a major cleaning and that big hole in the ductwork is bad. But who knows when it is change out time it's time for an air handler relocation and a complete redo of the ductwork. But at least it is an old r 22 trane back when the American companies made good hvac systems and ohh I hate trane too. Time for a gree flex or a ruud from you. And as always appreciate that unlike a lot of hvac guys you will work on anything and fix it. Without bieng picky. Even fixing bad mini split installs and bad diy mini split installs. And vice versa. I hope the landlord is smart enough to have you come back and do what needs to be done.
Man that air handler is rough to get to. That coil is plugged up tight. It will need chemicals for sure and possibly a wire brush. Thanks for sharing, you did do a video on this one before.
Funny story on this one. When the neighbors warned me about the dog, I said, “I’ve got something for that.” And went to unzipping my bag. They almost ran inside. I know they thought I had a gun. It was funny.
That AHU location epitomizes why I've been doing commercial/industrial since 1996. LOL ! As soon as you looked into the attic, that was a definite "Nope." from me.
Thx Curtis. Heat on here for the first time this season. Never got out of the 40s yesterday. Whatever type of dirt is on that coil it sure doesn't respond to a stiff brush.
A system we put in 3 yrs ago customer used the cheap one layer green filters. Plugged the A coil up like cement. He was a bitch in but he had to by a coil
Curtis, you are a better man then me, they is no way, I repeat they is no way I would take a job like that...there is not enough money in the federal budget for me to do that job. 😅😅
I may be wrong here, but I believe Curtis gets a lot of his jobs from property managers. And if that’s the case, he hast to take everything that they throw at him. I have been in that position until finally I let go of the property manager, because there was just too Many of these ridiculous type of jobs.
When you first showed the filter grille inside the home, my observation was "filter is so clogged it's partly sucked into the intake." Then I noticed the small corner of the grille that hadn't been cleaned... 🤮 Then you showed the evaporator... Yeah, that's gonna be a job.
Dont start adding fluff video shots… thats the kind of stuff that deters those of us here for the actual content of hvac tech work. I have a couple other channels i just cant stand to watch because its 7 clips of them walking to thw job or driving into the drive way… i like your videos just the way they were with just the good stuff
That is one of the reasons I carry a small brass aon steel brush in my pack. That coil will need a can or two of black hawk or viper. It nice to have a platform to walk on in the ceilings. I am sick and tired of making my own platform in the ceilings around these units so they can be worked on.
It's not like that here in East Tennessee. That airhandler would have been in a closet with an attic that tight. I guess we are blessed with decent installers around here.
Well that call i would have to send a helper up there. Being 6'4" and about 290 i would not fit.....lol. that coil needs a real good cleaning.. as far as the dog 🐕 he was not interested in anything. Good job Curtis 👍 keep the videos coming.
That ladder work is why, despite my interest, I will never be a HVAC tech; I have the balance of a toddler. Well, maybe I can be a USEFUL helicopter to our HVAC guys, or fix a few things to not need to call them in the first place.
There's no way in hell I would go into that crawl space, even if there is two roofs, they would have to cut up an opening in the house for me to go in there, Your too nice to those customers, but they don't care if they inconvenience you.
Just had my annual HVAC system check yesterday morning. All was OK. 45 degrees this morning in Louisville, KY. Turned the heat on to knock off the chill. High today 61. U of K's Big Blue Nation is going to put a whoopin on Georgia tonight on ESPN. Look forward to your videos everyday. Always feel bad for you when you have to go in an attic to service equipment.

Mr. Curtis, get you some coveralls for those types of jobs. I enjoy your videos.
worth every dollar
Nice work Curtis.
Thanks!
Thanku curtis 😊
Anytime
@HVACGUY that dog honestly didn't seem that scary tbh he may just be protective of his property you know !
Watching you brush that coil , my thought was “it’s like pissing on a forest fire “. I can’t comprehend how people are so dense to the importance of filter management. Cheapest thing you can do and gain the most benefit.👍👍🇨🇦
It amazes me how a heat pump could work at all with both coils so dirty ??? More work for Curtis ....
Well Curtis the condenser coil and evap coil needs a major cleaning and that big hole in the ductwork is bad.
But who knows when it is change out time it's time for an air handler relocation and a complete redo of the ductwork.
But at least it is an old r 22 trane back when the American companies made good hvac systems and ohh I hate trane too.

Without bieng picky.
Even fixing bad mini split installs and bad diy mini split installs. And vice versa.
I hope the landlord is smart enough to have you come back and do what needs to be done.
Nice job 👍
Thanks 👍
Seems like a mini-split would have been a better choice.
Man that air handler is rough to get to. That coil is plugged up tight. It will need chemicals for sure and possibly a wire brush. Thanks for sharing, you did do a video on this one before.
Yes, I did.
Thanks GOD that Opening didn’t have a Wasp Nest or Worse. 👍
I know, right?
Curtis, the dawgs crusher Kentucky. 😅
I'd carry, especially the areas you service.
Funny story on this one. When the neighbors warned me about the dog, I said, “I’ve got something for that.” And went to unzipping my bag. They almost ran inside. I know they thought I had a gun. It was funny.
You can never be too careful with those bully breads. @@HVACGUY
That dog wouldn't bit a peace
of cornbread.
Didn’t look like it did it?
That AHU location epitomizes why I've been doing commercial/industrial since 1996. LOL ! As soon as you looked into the attic, that was a definite "Nope." from me.
I charge a premium, I don’t give them any cuts. And even on these run down rentals they don’t hesitate to pay me. So, I don’t really mind it at all.
@@HVACGUY Great work, Sir. You deserve every penny you charge for that LOL!
I’ve done cut ins on then nasty roofs it’s common here in CALI
Thx Curtis. Heat on here for the first time this season. Never got out of the 40s yesterday.
Whatever type of dirt is on that coil it sure doesn't respond to a stiff brush.
No problem
A system we put in 3 yrs ago customer used the cheap one layer green filters. Plugged the A coil up like cement. He was a bitch in but he had to by a coil
Did that Dog Answer to your Spanish or was it the Owner you were Calling out to ? 😬👍🙏
It was the owner. I was asking, is that your dog?
I wouldn’t touch that job 39 1/2 foot pole 😂
Digging the intro. From the arrival to the customer’s door all the way till the end! YOU are the man Curtis!💪🏽👍🏽
Thanks
Usually if liq line starts warming up ice bout gone
Dawgs got this one, no doubt.
Yeh, Kentucky don’t even look like the same team as last week.
Curtis, you are a better man then me, they is no way, I repeat they is no way I would take a job like that...there is not enough money in the federal budget for me to do that job. 😅😅
It wasn’t as bad as it looked, just glad I don’t have to replace it.
I may be wrong here, but I believe Curtis gets a lot of his jobs from property managers. And if that’s the case, he hast to take everything that they throw at him. I have been in that position until finally I let go of the property manager, because there was just too Many of these ridiculous type of jobs.
Id like to see u replace that unit. Wow They must have built the roof around it lol
It certainly looks like they built the second roof after the AC was installed, or at least set in place.
There's probably no replacing that air handler. I think mini splits would be a better option. Do you install mini splits?
Oh yes. A little more frequently lately
You should carry bear spray for those dogs.
Is that a rental house? I can’t imagine why anyone would install a unit that way. Only because they never intended to service it.
Why are they running A/C if it's 67 degrees out?
You really work hard before you get to the job I love it man! We do it as well every day in southern Kentucky
When you first showed the filter grille inside the home, my observation was "filter is so clogged it's partly sucked into the intake." Then I noticed the small corner of the grille that hadn't been cleaned... 🤮 Then you showed the evaporator... Yeah, that's gonna be a job.
Have a house with pretty much the same set up I dread going there.
Dont start adding fluff video shots… thats the kind of stuff that deters those of us here for the actual content of hvac tech work. I have a couple other channels i just cant stand to watch because its 7 clips of them walking to thw job or driving into the drive way… i like your videos just the way they were with just the good stuff
I'm not smart enough to figure out those ladders, lol.
That is one of the reasons I carry a small brass aon steel brush in my pack. That coil will need a can or two of black hawk or viper.
It nice to have a platform to walk on in the ceilings. I am sick and tired of making my own platform in the ceilings around these units so they can be worked on.
Seeing that entrance, I would have told the lady nope and drove off. Not even gonna charge you.
First time I was out there, I had trouble finding it.
👍👍
Every time I see some of the installations you have to put up with I'm glad I worked for Xerox and not HVAC.
It's not like that here in East Tennessee. That airhandler would have been in a closet with an attic that tight. I guess we are blessed with decent installers around here.
Well that call i would have to send a helper up there. Being 6'4" and about 290 i would not fit.....lol. that coil needs a real good cleaning.. as far as the dog 🐕 he was not interested in anything. Good job Curtis 👍 keep the videos coming.
No, he was no threat to me.
Nice job. You always have to keep an eye out for a mean dog..it's a shame. That dog was pritty.
Yes, that was a nice looking dog.
I'll never understand why some people think that they need to put their house that cold.
You're not paid enough to be climbing in a small hole like that
I would charge a lot for this service call
That ladder work is why, despite my interest, I will never be a HVAC tech; I have the balance of a toddler. Well, maybe I can be a USEFUL helicopter to our HVAC guys, or fix a few things to not need to call them in the first place.
You Earned your Keep on this Job. I have seen more on your Videos than I have ever seen here in the Midwest. 🤔👎
There is NO Reason for a Fur Coat as we’re coming out of Summer. 🤔👎
Good diagnosis Keep a eye out for that dog will you go back. Get some pepper spray or something to carry with you
That system needs a good cleaning, do be careful Curtis if you return to complete that job, and watch out for that bad dog ☹ Au
Naw, I wouldn't be going back there if I didn't feel safe.
👍👍😊😊
There's no way in hell I would go into that crawl space, even if there is two roofs, they would have to cut up an opening in the house for me to go in there, Your too nice to those customers, but they don't care if they inconvenience you.
I mean they *are* paying him…
Of course he could always turn down the work 🤷🏻♂️
Be very careful 😢
You are in South Georgia.😂😂😂
Is it that obvious?
Poor Kleins!
Just need something dull, like a nut driver
Why is that dog not fenced in or chained? 😡
He broke his chain
Bad maintenance big repair bills well deserved
an ABC powder fire extinguisher 🧯 works really well on a mean dog, 1 taste of that, and u won't be bothered any more.

Back in 1973 when the HVAC Equipment was New, it was the Most Expensive part of the House. Now it’s a Big Time Liability with Few to NO Options. 🤪👎
