I am an automotive technician, I'm EPA 609 certified to work on automotive HAVC. Never done any work like what you do, probably not physically capable of it, but damn these videos are fascinating lol.
In the UK, customers keep their equipment clean as they don't want to pay a tech for cleaning. Every call you go to, You have to clean the unit first...... Madness
Nice work..... 2 years into the trade and your videos have really helped me become more thorough and look beyond what my lack of experience would otherwise allow. Especially in commercial without previous experience it's easy to miss things that you just haven't seen. This channel and a few others have really helped me become rather successful in this trade without a whole lot of experience 👍 thank you

this one you had me puzzled, but you satisfied me in your last few minutes of recap, I was wondering about you charging & getting it operational, then submitting estimate, but you had to make it work to keep customers happy, & then see what home office wants to handle either repair, or replace to fix unit and had authorization to get operational.
First look.. wow how many hands have been on that unit.. look at it..you can clearly see all them oily mits all around. You can see someone else cleaned the inside out of the coil..too much pressure too. Wow..you always get the best of stuff. Thanks for sharing Chris. Be safe out there.

Great job going through the entire unit. That’s exactly my approach in diagnosing a unit even though it upsets some of our other techs. Sometimes you can find other issues that are causing problems or prevent future issues. Your videos have really helped me become a better technician so with that said. Thank you Chris in all the time you spend to help others become better technicians! 👍🏻👍🏻
Once again a thorough diagnosis BIG PICTURE service call. That coil cleaner is a good one, but I like how you wore PPE to cover yourself. Also wash that off the roof it could eat the rubber roof. I hope you get the repair job. Good luck and thank you for you channel. HVAC ON!!

Bought one of those NuCalgon condenser guns to apply foamy soaps. Works really well. Have to get that extension wand next. Thanks for the demonstration! Have been using tank sprayer ...

I'm not an A/C tech, just an average guy, but I think cleaning the condensor coils is something I can do myself. I ended up buying the NuCalgon, but I don't think I'll buy any more. (yeah, but I have a lifetime supply.) After listening to your explanation, I'm going to "play it safe" and mix at the lowest concentration and rinse quickly. I should have stayed with the foam stuff.

Great Stuff as always Chris, I love your approach to troubleshooting, if you hadn’t taken all the panels off to thoroughly clean the unit there’s a great chance you miss those leaks, Another fine example why so many follow you, EXCEPTIONAL!!

Do you have to be a hvac journey man license to do this on your own? Or can you file this under appliance repair like a regular fridge? I want to add commercial ice makers to my business and possibly walk ins
Chris...is that measure quick app part of Fieldpeice Job link? I just bought the job link set, and don’t see any option for that analog display. Love your videos. A reply would be much appreciated.
Have you ever consider using leak stop for a temporary fix? Sometimes due to season or other factors either the owner or the hvac company cant change the unit at the moment and what I do if they cant replace the unit right away i add leak stop and come back a month later as a follow up to make sure leak stop worked properly and add the few ounces I lost until leak stop cover those leaks or slow it down at least and that gives the costumer enough time to make a decision or time (as I said it's just a temporary fix maybe just to go through the season only and then change the unit and only works with micro leaks but it helps when you have several of them at the same coil of course if you have bigger leaks and can be braze then that would be the solution but sometimes that is not the case)

Dude you are extremely thorough !!! You do that when the camera isnt on?....... Come on tell the truth mr!! 😆 well i have a good feeling you do so thats awesome bro!! That being said how can afford to spend so much time on one job like that when you are slammed and have calls coming in left and right? We do transport refridgeration (thermokings) and we are all flat rate techs so moving quick and getting it dones is the name of the game for us ya know what i mean so we cant afford to take our time or we wont make good money but regardless of that i refuse to cut corners all the time screw that.

At 0:48 to 0:50 Did anyone else notice that exactly one half of that outside condenser was cleaner than the other? (Right half appears cleaner) maybe a weak fan?

I was wondering if you can put 2 different coils on a single compressor? And at work are make line keeps freezing, what could be the cause of it freezing

So it is entirely plausible that this repair bill was due to saving money on a cheap coil cleaning service. If they were too rushed or just didn't care they wouldn't do a good job of cleaning the coils. If the cleaning solution, even highly diluted, can corrode the coils at weak points like solder joints then not thoroughly rinsing the coils while cleaning them could have caused the coil solder leaks. It looks like an opening in the market to hire, maybe senior citizens(?), to come by in the wee hours of morning and clean the coils and take their time to do a good job. Clearly you get what you pay for. I also think any service that can offer a video record of them doing the work is invaluable. Keep up the great work.

I do residential and have about 2 years experinced. I know how to test TXV ny warming or cooling the bulb, but using SH and SC while charging to notice a bad TXV has always elduded me a little. What does "stacking in the condensor" mean? Also, any tips on recognizing a bad TXV while charging? Love you chanel!
High head pressure low suction pressure. You’ll notice while charging that the refrigerant sticks to the high side but won’t affect the low side at all.

Just a question. Why not use something like Dawn Dish Detergent instead of that nasty coil cleaner? It'd be cheaper and safer, because it's shouldn't attack the coils, just the dirt. Also a pretty good degreaser. A ton better for the environment as well, compared to coil cleaner, and safer for yourself incase you were to accidentally spill it all over yourself. You just get a good bath/shower instead of a trip to the hospital for chemical burns.
think about the sudsing power of dawn (yes it's great on oils but...). Now consider just how much bullshit it would be to remove that from the fins. That's why you don't want to use dawn unless you have to.

I hope I'm not bugging you with comments. I'm betting that people dont take the covers off because they lazy. I have been working with all types of contractors and see it all to often. I know people have bad days but when u are tearing up equipment because of it you need to step back and reevaluate your life. Just saying. Thx for the video.
Not as dangerous as it seems... think about the “orifices” the liquid has to go through. First, the valve on the tank he’s opening by hand and the schrader valve on the access port (at a minimum). If he’s also using a manifold and low-loss fittings there may be even more. Combine that with adding just a little at a time as he’s doing and it’s very unlikely to get liquid in the compressor.

Found another use for big blue today a friend has a headlamp bulb that keeps blowing because of a leak just a small bit of presser from an air hose and the whole corner turned to bubbles!
Your lucky it's not my mother in law running the place. She'll go with the cheaper guy four or five times and spend more in the end. And wonder why the system still doesn't work right.
i have alerton/compass controls on Lennox equipment. one company does the controls only and one does the repair. end up paying two companies and waste time getting it running.
If you like your refrigeration tech heavy duty coil cleaner try some special HD calclean by nu calgon. Just as good if not better and will destroy any kind of grease and get greasy nasty plugged coils squeaky clean. Stuff is feckin wicked and can do better than nu brite in some situations.

HI BUDDY just started watching your channel i m a tech apprentice trained in canada i like your videos cause u speak quick and clear a lot of info keep in touch
I found that kids bubble liquids works good on finding leaks in tires. You know the stuff that comes with the wand for kids to blow bubbles. Walmart usually has big bottles of the stuff for cheap. I wonder if that's what big blue is?😁
Micro channels? Most manufacturers say water only on micros but I do use ph neutral cleaner with them. You are just asking for a leak using the "foam bright" cleaners on an aluminum coil.
I will cover this topic on my livestream tonight but I would encourage you to watch the official lennox stance on cleaning their microchannel coils here th-cam.com/video/L69rH-eO46U/w-d-xo.html

Great Stuff as always Chris, I love your approach to troubleshooting, if you hadn’t taken all the panels off to thoroughly clean the unit there’s a great chance you miss those leaks, Another fine example why so many follow you, EXCEPTIONAL!!

Do you have to be a hvac journey man license to do this on your own? Or can you file this under appliance repair like a regular fridge? I want to add commercial ice makers to my business and possibly walk ins
Is that a Simpson260 on the top right shelf? My first meter 43 years ago. I still have it and it still works lol.
Yes it is, it was my dads
Very cool
Chris...is that measure quick app part of Fieldpeice Job link? I just bought the job link set, and don’t see any option for that analog display. Love your videos. A reply would be much appreciated.
Measure quick is a separate app that works with the field fieldpiece products.
Have you ever consider using leak stop for a temporary fix? Sometimes due to season or other factors either the owner or the hvac company cant change the unit at the moment and what I do if they cant replace the unit right away i add leak stop and come back a month later as a follow up to make sure leak stop worked properly and add the few ounces I lost until leak stop cover those leaks or slow it down at least and that gives the costumer enough time to make a decision or time (as I said it's just a temporary fix maybe just to go through the season only and then change the unit and only works with micro leaks but it helps when you have several of them at the same coil of course if you have bigger leaks and can be braze then that would be the solution but sometimes that is not the case)
I agree on coil cleaning. I worked with a guy he liked it to smoke and look like new. I line the wand on your coil gun. I getting me one . Good job.
There is a link in the video notes

Dude you are extremely thorough !!! You do that when the camera isnt on?....... Come on tell the truth mr!! 😆 well i have a good feeling you do so thats awesome bro!! That being said how can afford to spend so much time on one job like that when you are slammed and have calls coming in left and right? We do transport refridgeration (thermokings) and we are all flat rate techs so moving quick and getting it dones is the name of the game for us ya know what i mean so we cant afford to take our time or we wont make good money but regardless of that i refuse to cut corners all the time screw that.
I like the coil cleaning vids.

At 0:48 to 0:50 Did anyone else notice that exactly one half of that outside condenser was cleaner than the other? (Right half appears cleaner) maybe a weak fan?
Oh lol he mentioned it 4 minutes later haha
Refrigeration technology send Chris a pallet !
He's sold more of your coil cleaner that all the advertising you paid for this year!
The way you clean condenser coils is music for the eyes.

Hi, do you just provide repairs for this client as if you service and maintain these units how are they so dirty and in such a mess?
Really like the way you explain everything in detail. 👍

I was wondering if you can put 2 different coils on a single compressor? And at work are make line keeps freezing, what could be the cause of it freezing
the best technician
Where I live its illegal to charge a system with refrigerant if there is evidence of or you know that there is a leak.
Yeah here in the UK it's like that too.
Also strength and tightness tests are mandatory.
not only that over here r22 has been banned for years ,can't get the gas nor is it allowed to refill.
Nice job 👍 bro
thanks
On this leak check, did you need to pressurize? Or just you dectctor and bubbles? Thanks Also link on that leak dector
Cool video I like your dial a charge

So it is entirely plausible that this repair bill was due to saving money on a cheap coil cleaning service. If they were too rushed or just didn't care they wouldn't do a good job of cleaning the coils. If the cleaning solution, even highly diluted, can corrode the coils at weak points like solder joints then not thoroughly rinsing the coils while cleaning them could have caused the coil solder leaks. It looks like an opening in the market to hire, maybe senior citizens(?), to come by in the wee hours of morning and clean the coils and take their time to do a good job. Clearly you get what you pay for. I also think any service that can offer a video record of them doing the work is invaluable. Keep up the great work.

I do residential and have about 2 years experinced. I know how to test TXV ny warming or cooling the bulb, but using SH and SC while charging to notice a bad TXV has always elduded me a little. What does "stacking in the condensor" mean? Also, any tips on recognizing a bad TXV while charging?
Love you chanel!
High head pressure low suction pressure. You’ll notice while charging that the refrigerant sticks to the high side but won’t affect the low side at all.
@@hvacinthecity9369 Thank you!

Where did you get that attachment for your coil gun I have the same coil gun but I have never seen that attachment before that would come in so handy in cleaning just about any coil
There are links to all the tools I used in the video Show notes but here is the link to the coil wand amzn.to/2FDtC1V

2:18 no one cares about a $20,000 RTU because they don't own it, they just work there.
Very true. What’s more, even if I wanted to, there’s no way my manager would let me up on the roof to clean a condenser.
What will happen to your readings if the condenser is wet?
Ralph Castro high head pressure
You’re incredible man
Great work
Chris do you ever try the leak sealants? I find they work great on micro leaks.
No I am not a fan of any additives in the system, personally I would just rather braze the leak

Just a question. Why not use something like Dawn Dish Detergent instead of that nasty coil cleaner? It'd be cheaper and safer, because it's shouldn't attack the coils, just the dirt. Also a pretty good degreaser. A ton better for the environment as well, compared to coil cleaner, and safer for yourself incase you were to accidentally spill it all over yourself. You just get a good bath/shower instead of a trip to the hospital for chemical burns.
It doesn’t work good on what we find in the systems. We do use dawn soap when units are too close to exhausts
think about the sudsing power of dawn (yes it's great on oils but...). Now consider just how much bullshit it would be to remove that from the fins. That's why you don't want to use dawn unless you have to.
In average how long should u leave the chemical for cal brite
I would say no longer than a minute or two
Another great video

Nu brite does a better job on greasy coils than calclean HD does surprisingly.
Who needs airflow... head pressure dont matter.. ac dont work blame the AC guy
Its not cotton wood but its easier to call it that love it 😂😂😂

quesiton - ODP requires no topup until the leak is fixed. how this is justified in this trouble suppoting?
We are allowed to top off the charge in the united states, we can leave a system leaking for as long as the customers likes if the total system charge is under 50 pounds... I’m going to discuss live on TH-cam this evening 6/29/20 @ 5:PM (pacific time) come over and check it out th-cam.com/video/qAVMB2gj6Kc/w-d-xo.html
Those probes seem kinda sluggish. Not nearly as responsive as the old analog. Anyone else notice this with their probes?
Yep all probes have a 1-2 second latency problem
Thanks for the reply, I still am pining for a set even with the latency issue
Good vid.

Plugo bugo nice video 👍
Yellow viper works good on metal mesh filters in my experience
Have you ever tried triple d it foams up well and safe for micro channel
Good stuff Chris 👍🍺
I hope I'm not bugging you with comments. I'm betting that people dont take the covers off because they lazy. I have been working with all types of contractors and see it all to often. I know people have bad days but when u are tearing up equipment because of it you need to step back and reevaluate your life. Just saying. Thx for the video.
you were liquid charging through low side is liquid charging a compressor can actually damage the compressor??
Aslong as you flash it, it’s ok
Not as dangerous as it seems... think about the “orifices” the liquid has to go through. First, the valve on the tank he’s opening by hand and the schrader valve on the access port (at a minimum). If he’s also using a manifold and low-loss fittings there may be even more.
Combine that with adding just a little at a time as he’s doing and it’s very unlikely to get liquid in the compressor.
Only when you dont know what your doing.

Give the compressor a little credit, it's not made of glass after all
Hmm is this near a desert we’re desert sand comes from?
how does this tablet work?
Found another use for big blue today a friend has a headlamp bulb that keeps blowing because of a leak just a small bit of presser from an air hose and the whole corner turned to bubbles!
Your lucky it's not my mother in law running the place. She'll go with the cheaper guy four or five times and spend more in the end. And wonder why the system still doesn't work right.
i have alerton/compass controls on Lennox equipment. one company does the controls only and one does the repair. end up paying two companies and waste time getting it running.
If you like your refrigeration tech heavy duty coil cleaner try some special HD calclean by nu calgon. Just as good if not better and will destroy any kind of grease and get greasy nasty plugged coils squeaky clean. Stuff is feckin wicked and can do better than nu brite in some situations.

HI BUDDY just started watching your channel i m a tech apprentice trained in canada i like your videos cause u speak quick and clear a lot of info keep in touch
Thanks bud
@@HVACRVIDEOS i ll watch them all and thumb them up
I found that kids bubble liquids works good on finding leaks in tires. You know the stuff that comes with the wand for kids to blow bubbles. Walmart usually has big bottles of the stuff for cheap. I wonder if that's what big blue is?😁
Big blue is super concentrated but I do wonder to
thanks a lot for your videos!
I've seen some Lenox units say to only use water for coil cleaning should i go by what the manufacture says?
Purple Giraffe I’ve been asking myself the same question. We mainly install Lenox and all are new machines ask for water only.
Micro channels? Most manufacturers say water only on micros but I do use ph neutral cleaner with them. You are just asking for a leak using the "foam bright" cleaners on an aluminum coil.
I will cover this topic on my livestream tonight but I would encourage you to watch the official lennox stance on cleaning their microchannel coils here th-cam.com/video/L69rH-eO46U/w-d-xo.html
