@@Peter-bv3wo I wouldn’t do that personally. I would adjust the defrost controller

Lulz…so what you’re saying is if you don’t see butt crack then the tech isn’t educated?!?

Absolutely.

thank you! @@TershBlissett

You can turn off the power at the breaker panel as well.

@BurrBones, if you think this is fancy, you should see my “goin out” attire. lol.

@@TershBlissettFor a second, I thought you said “groin out” attire. I was worried.

@@SlyDellian hahaha…you never know…

did you see the part where he had the fan blades exposed in the up position? With that scenario, you definitely want to turn it off

I just spray mine and the fan and motor stop working 😢I think I ruin it

@@DianaRodriguez-i4somg 😢

If you have a split system versus a package unit, you don’t have to be concerned with mold getting into your home from the outdoor unit sitting in water constantly. But you will need to get that water away from the unit because if the water is flooding the condenser, it could be blocking airflow to the coil, and could also cause the bottom of the unit to rot/rust out.

Then why the F are you here?

Because when I seen the title I was like what the F. People can't be that Dumb.

Helpful to me and I'm grateful. I'm an well knowledgeable about some things... but not everything, and not this. I'm glad he was thinking for me on this one. 😅

@Zane.Wellnitz you make a valid point, but these systems are designed to divert water that is coming down from the sky versus water being sprayed from the ground up…especially at the bottom of electrical panels that may not be sealed properly where the wires are coming into the cabinet. I’ve been shocked by 24v coming from the indoor unit while performing a maintenance on a system. Didn’t kill me but made me jump out of the way for sure. My message to those who may wonder would be to be cautious and ensure you’ve turned off the power before spraying a bunch of water on something that could potentially hurt you.

@@TershBlissett true, I should have mentioned turning the power off first. It's not going to hurt the ac though.

Very valid point, but spraying water in a different direction than how the rain typically falls could result in spraying water into the live electrical panels. I’d always just advise that people proceed with caution.

That and rain isn't generally pressurized

Haha. That’s what I wear every day…whether I’m in an attic or in my office.

That’s your accumulator. It’s leaking refrigerant? It’s pretty common for them to sweat during operation. They will often rust through and leak refrigerant too.

@@TershBlissett yes, at the connection point, one pipe has some liquid around it. And the other pipe looks good and sealed... I just trying to gather as much info as I can before a technician comes out so they don't try to overcharge me. Lol. Thank you so much!!

Does it help? In theory, it should…it’s just so wet here in the southeast that we would create a mess quickly if we did that.

@@TershBlissett I think it helps, it's on the side of my house under the carport but it still gets really hot when it was 117°, hosing it down when it's on definitely cools the condenser off so I think it helps.

Comprssar

Comon power runing herom starpointed fan point fan 5 mfe or 6....or7 mfd

Ha, been there…done that…got the T-shirt.

If you can send me an e-mail with a picture of the new one, I’ll let you know for sure how it’s supposed to be wired.

@@TershBlissett I went outside and and hooked up the capacitors I first disconnected the power from the main box outside to be safe hooked up all the wires turned it on the fan is running pretty slow and a compressor does not seem to be running at all🤕

Just turn off your ac and spray the outside twice a year, once during spring and middle of summer when it’s hot. You will feel your ac blow colder also. My ac unit has last 20 years doing so. The coil outside acts as a cooling device for the ac compressor, the dirt on the coil makes the compressor work harder and it’ll bust your stuff. He went the full 10 yards, that was unnecessary.

Just messing with you man. It is a great video. This is the proper way to clean your outdoor system and spraying it off with just a water hose from the outside will push the dirt back into the coil. It's not just a way to cool the compressor. This is the heat removal from your home.

@@tonyf2268 I don’t know , it works for me, I see dirty water coming out every time I do it.

That's good it will work not saying it's a complete waste. I tell my customers who want to go ahead and spray it between my maintenance visits. It can't do anything but help.

@@tonyf2268 yup, I do the same for my fridge when it don’t cool as much as it use to. I’ll pull it out and start spraying it with water and soap. Then next thing you know it, it’s cold again.

It’s my pleasure!

Hi there @Jay Ortiz. The kits come with the jumper wires and I can give you some of them if you’re local in Savannah GA.

@@TershBlissett bummer…. I’m in TX….Happy to purchase if at all possible.

@@TershBlissett if not, is there a different brand of “jumper wires” I can buy online? Or are these specific to the Turbo?

There’s nothing special about these jumpers. You can actually build your own with two female spade connectors and some wire. You can pick all of that stuff up from your local hardware store.

@@TershBlissett Thx

That’s what we are using now. That was an extremely expensive learning mistake for me.

This is a tough one, and I was just talking with some buddies of mine, who are in a business owners’ mastermind group with me, about this exact topic last week…first off, I’d work hard to determine the why…why are they late constantly? Is it that they are late in the morning because they have to drop of kids at school? Or is it because they worked until 2am the previous night? Or was it because they aren’t a morning person? And finally, is it because that is their personality and they will simply always be late? The answer to these questions will help me a leader a million times more than simply getting frustrated with someone who is having a punctuality issue. If they are working late every night bc I’m overloading them, then that’s obviously on me… If they are having scheduling issues, then I’m going to work to start their day later… If it’s their personality, and they will always be late, then they had been win me over in other areas…and win MASSIVELY bc we can’t provide wow service to our clients if we break the first promise of a prompt arrival time for their servicing. If they don’t wow me in other areas, they would need to exit to business…after the proper coaching though…we have the four steps of improvement for this reason right here. Does that help any? This is based on my experience anyways…

@@TershBlissett Yes , immensely I like your approach in taking situational matters in to account. It separates the guy staying up late to help put his family to bed from the guy who’s staying up at the bar till 2am. 😂 Thank You

@@creativetradesman6833 absolutely! It’s my pleasure!!

Jon Eaton thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thanks brother! You too!

Same brother...same! Lol. Heck yea you do!!! Haha. I have 10 more ready to be uploaded, but it just takes so long to upload!!
