Cleaning a Micro Channel Coil Successfully!

[@brianporter4352]

We are a Rheem dealer in NC, and obviously we service a lot of pkg units. We use the Tri-Power HD for all of our coil cleanings. I like it because it can do both the regular and the micro channel coils. I use water on the micro channels, but sometimes the cleaner has to be used to get the embedded dirt out.

Better show that client how to replace filters. No need for an evaporator coil to get that dirty. Nice job Curtis.👍👍🇨🇦

You mean some people actually change them?

How the customer was talking about his hallway being hot lol then disappeared 😂

Something every homeowner should do on their own. Buy a couple aerosol cans of cleaner from a big box store, cheap maintenance for a outside unit.

Both coils wearing a fur coat! Nice work Curtis!

[@eaglebill3738]

They have excellent products. I've been using the blue Nu-Brite for over twenty years with great success. Thanks for the videos Curtis.

Glad you like them!

[@donathancrain7106]

thanks for the video great job wish we had some good hvac repair men in our area.

[@Haas1997]

Sometimes after washing those micro channel coils the water will stick to it acting as a restriction which was probably why you had about 390 at the start. Enjoy the videos Curtis

[@chandlervoit4630]

On a micro channel I always blow out the water. It locks the water in and increases the head pressure. Doesn’t dry like a normal coil.

Nucalgon makes some of the best products on the market 😊

A nice clean up Curtis, Keep cool over there.. We are just starting to get warmer days over here 😀 Au

[@sourdieselganja3481]

This is the Old gas station clerk Brandon. I used to work at the store you came into everyday. Not gonna say the name but the initials are HRF is the top fan on the hvac unit is it supposed to blow hot air?

[@HVACGUY]

In the summer yes

[@syedali9383]

Subcool high = most probably overcharged. But did I miss the part where cover was taken off and only “inside out” wash was done?

[@GlenS123]

Used hundreds of gallons of Tri-Power over the years. Works great in factories situations where there is oil/grease in the air. Also used on regular customers coils that I kept clean after 1st visit. If it's super impacted use a standard cleaner (not micro) as foam helps push it out.

[@Chainsaw600]

I cleaned a York micro the other day with the same stuff you used. Man was it dirty. It’s interesting that York states NOT to use any cleaners. Water only. That wouldn’t have touched the unit I cleaned. Full of grease, dirt, grass and all kinds of crap.

[@kens.3729]

Cleaner looks like it did a Great Job. Clean Coils are Important for Maximum Efficiency. 👍

[@ForgetU]

That was pretty interesting and dirty. Not to mention hot.

[@victorgalagan1151]

Hey Buddy,What happened to the debris,,pine needles ect,,,,on the inside bottom? Gave you a like!

[@John-dp3ln]

Subcool pretty high, maybe overcharged a bit? Nice cleaning job.

[@joelhunter4082]

How do I now if my AC unit is a micro coil?

[@97Napkins]

Hot in GA today 🔥 🥵 I got 3 tomorrow and 1 Sunday

[@jose01099]

I hate hail guards

[@Adam90028]

That condenser is looking super clean now sir!

[@michaelcinaz]

Looked like there was a bunch of debris on the bottom inside the condenser coil. Why not vacuum that stuff up first before you clean the coil?

[@franciscoflores2718]

Well that's not what's causing the high pressure, it's a dirty coil. And this looks to be a warranty company call where Curtis doesn't make much on profit with those kinda jobs. He wanted to get in and out.

[@sknight0391]

All I ever have time for is work and getting ready for work the next day. 😒👎 😎👍

You gonna post videos homie? Lol jk, enjoyed your stuff though

Thank goodness we have Curtis.

Looks like the Nu Calgon cleaner works at dissolving the crud pretty good. Keep dehydrated I know it’s blistering your way as it made it up to 86 here in the mountains

[@tedhicks5431]

Get ya self one adjustable spray wands want have to bend over so much further away want so get wet plus you can reach that evaporator easier. You got er goin

[@jericosha2842]

Link to product?

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

Good trouble shooting. It seems that company contacting other ac tech company to be they sponsor

[@jthonn]

That stuff worked great. Should have used that little you had left on the evaporator. Hind sight is 20/20. It turned out really good. I had some coil cleaner for the evaporator (the foam stuff) and I used what was left over on the condenser. Anyone that hasn't cleaned their coils in a while really should do it with all this heat going on. The more air you can get flowing through those coils the better. I have used action degreaser with great success. Last time I mixed up some dawn in a spray bottle and it worked great. Even if you just spray it out with the hose, beats doing nothing. Don't bend up the fins, for crying out loud. It is amazing the difference in efficiency after you do it.
