Deep Cleaning of Disgusting HVAC Rooftop Unit Maintenance on Neglected Restaurant RTU Systems

[@kat2641]

❤ nice job guys!!! That was super dirty units

[@MokenaBob]

Thank You, Mike.

[@yappering]

What a beautiful cleaning!

[@MrRealtalkME]

Mikey try using Lowe’s 12 inch yellow brush , works great on RTU getting in those deep sections. Love the work as always thank you for the video

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for the tip

[@brettwing737]

Units in that condition are a very normal occurrence in commercial HVAC especially restaurants

[@DelticEngine]

Hey Mikey Pipes, another beautiful job and great video! It's so sad seeing equipment in such a sorry state.

[@PipeDoctor]

It sure is

[@kens.3729]

Why would the Goofball 🤪 in Charge of this New Restaurant wait until two (2] hours before their Grand Opening 1st Day Open ? Not Playing with Full Deck. 🤪👎

That system was designed for 2" filters, just fyi. Edit: My bad, I was still watching the video when I wrote my comment. But I would definitely be swapping them for 2" as the system design calls for it. I service a lot of RTU's and the sizes are pretty universal.

[@timothygingras6939]

Hey Mikey, what condition was the evaporator fan blower wheel?

[@billhill839]

Nice job Mike! Btw, I changed a heat exchanger like that once, it wasn't too bad a job. Still would be a lot cheaper than replacing the whole unit.

[@PipeDoctor]

Good call!

[@pringu]

U went!

[@PipeDoctor]

Yes!

[@DevinHVACInc]

That burger won’t save them from replacing that RTU. Lol

[@force311999]

it should be up to the building owner to repair the rooftops if they are renting the space they may still make heat ex-changers for that model

[@nickc6399]

Swap that HX. 2 guys 8 hours probably $1000 in parts. Do the hx, safeties, igniter and flame sensor with it. Be done in 5 hours and going home early.

[@swaterman08]

why not get one of those cool Coil cleaning rig that are use battery and have a tank and a pump? Water is limited, but you want to be careful anyways so you wont need as much water. I guess carrying 5 gallons of water up to a roof could be dangerous

[@scottvolage1752]

Making the trades great again Mikey Pipes. #LoveBosch Smash that Like Button and Subscribe folks. Smash IT!!!

was that spray nine i seen you use my dad used it when he did vynal sideing roofing n windows

[@davidfranco1475]

Why is R22 bad? Sorry dont know hvac but enjoy watching your videos

[@toddthegamer]

I’m not a hvac tech but from what I know it’s more expensive compared like 410a and it’s worse for the environment

[@Balticblue93]

@@toddthegamer Technically, R22 is not that much more expensive to buy as long as you get it from the proper channels, but HVAC companies make it out to be a huge cost markup. I still sell R22 every week when I fix leaks. Yes, it is more expensive but nothing crazy but we do charge more for it. Worse for the environment is not necessarily true as long as it is handled properly, it never gets into the atmosphere. Just because it has ODP and higher GWP, doesn't mean it actually releases enough to hurt the stratosphere. R22 is a better and more efficient refrigerant than 410a.

[@arthouston7361]

I cringe when I find one inch filters in a sunline unit.

[@Balticblue93]

100%!! Those systems were designed for 2" filters. I don't think I have seen many RTU's with 1" filters.

[@cengeb]

The rest of the duct work is probably a disaster

[@kingofthecrease30]

that is my wheel house ...commercial hvac & refrigeration...no residential for me...try Super Clean degreaser...in my opinion its better than spray nine

[@tedbell4416]

It is good stuff 👍🏻

[@cengeb]

Looks like a legionnaires disease farm
