Awsome job cleaning that mess up! I hope they had you do an annual on that in the future! Between the spiders, dirt and that dryer vent the unit needs it! I really enjoy hearing your down to earth thoughts on things! Great job!
Ted I’m glad you talked about putting gauges on every unit. DT can tell you a good amount about the charge. PM’s and obvious problem no hook up. Unless customer says it was not cooling before unit broke
When you hook up your gauges and have those 5' hoses like we most do we are taking a little bit of refrigerant each time we do so.I have been using smart probes if a HVAC system that is not working correctly or get a decent Delta Split.Great video Ted and I have been using same coil cleaner in my sprayer for a while now that works great lifting and removing dirt,dust out of coil.Peace Man😁😁😁
My gauges stay charged at all times... unless the low loss fitting fails on the hoses. It is usually the red one when it happens but for the most part I do not introduce any oxygen or impurities to the system every time I connect to it. I keep 4 sets in my van, 2 smans for 410 and 22... one analog for older junk systems, and one analog for pressure testing only.
I have a unit like this, but with metal louvers, that I just cleaned. It hadn’t been cleaned in a couple of years, but it was nowhere as dirty! My dryer vent is on the opposite side of the house, though.
Good stuff Ted! I know I'm labeled as a Supertech 😜😝 by some guys but I agree with you. Opening the refrigerant circuit usually should only be done when there is a refrigerant issue. When I refer to checking the charge on a service call in my videos, I am referring to the non invasive method. This is when you take line temps along with some simple math without the use of any gauges. I have a video coming up that covers this method in detail in the next week or two. Keep up the good work buddy!!
I agree 100%... thats why I always keep my gauges charged and use the hoses everyone hates. But I dont hook them up unless I need to. Also, check and/or remove filters to read delta T.
Ted. That’s a great great call on the gauges. I find that some folks that put them on create more problems. 18-22*. You rock. Great video. Have a great weekend. God bless.
Have heat pump driers not gotten to the US yet? They don't exhaust any air, it recycles it and keeps filtering it, cooling it and reheating it and uses very little energy doing so.
23 degree Delta T, no need to put gauges on it. I wouldn't have either. I would suspect some ductwork issues, but most likely nothing you could resolve quickly.
I got a question is it too much to ask of a text to chemically clean a 7 1/2 ton Trane rooftop unit that has three rows of coils shouldn't he need a helper to make the job go smoothly ? Especially if there's a double curb best lifting unit higher-than-normal
I was wondering how you removed the side plastic panels that were covering the coils you cleaned? I have this unit and I’m not sure how to remove them. Thanks!
You can bet that much garbage on the coils wasn't from one season. I'm betting it hasn't been touched by anyone for four years. Did you notice the leaves in the gutters? The problem is the homeowner that's too lazy to do some basic annual maintenance.
Spiders. When he is vacuuming you will see areas where the webs seem real strong. They are! Those are from the bulb back spiders like black widows and the like.

Some good cleaning. I like working on those units.
I agree about not connecting gauges to a packaged unit every time. Nice job
am I the only one to notice this dudes ENTIRE yard is weeds? Lmfao
That road reminded me of what we have to put up with here in West Virginia. Just wider.
And they wonder why it wasn't cooling well...... Great video
Mosquitoes have been bad up here in wisconsin too, good video man
Man that was tight, nice job Ted
Thanks Bob.

kerryithm2 I was around in the beer can cold days too. Unfortunately that was a terrible way to assess a refrigerant charge. lol
😮 That’s really dirty and great selling point for a PM Contract!
Great job, got to do mine, this video helped.
like your videos keeps being home easier
Awesome! Thank you!
great job and I agree with you . Experience should count for something as to putting gauges on the unit
Ted. That’s a great great call on the gauges. I find that some folks that put them on create more problems. 18-22*. You rock. Great video. Have a great weekend. God bless.
Can the nu-brite also be used for the inside unit ?
the old saying applies to not gauging up unless there's an issue "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" chances are it will be after fiddling around

What kind of cleaning ? you mean cleaning the outdoor coil ?
👍Good job. Rough for 4 yrs.
(“Roundup” that yard & start over😂)
Just plum ugly 👀
I was wondering how you removed the side plastic panels that were covering the coils you cleaned? I have this unit and I’m not sure how to remove them. Thanks!
Remove screws, push up and then out at bottom.
Anti DIY HVAC Thank you!
Ted , next time , hose the owners down for being that clueless ... lol ... Good fix ...
LOL

22degree delta,no gauges needed,just clean it,and go!!
These types of condenser coils don't seem to clog as easily as fin coils on a normal environment????
the spiders seem to love it, or was that like cottonwood tree "fluff"

Do you have a brother named Hank who sells propane and propane accessories?
Even the gutter looks like it was clogged and running over on the machine
YOU HAVE TO GIVE US A WARNING WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO START THE VACUUM
Am I the only one who noticed the exhaust aimed directly at the gas pipe
I use a can of Great Stuff to clean my coils
You're banned !!
Your my Hero Ted, Thank you!!
Lmao
Not to bad huh? Well I'll tell you the critters don't care they'll co n e through their and make your home theres
Dirty coils from hell.
No no annnnnd no.
Wear gloves dude
