Ductless Cleaning and Maintenance Start to Finish

[@kamenpetrov661]

Very professional clean and tidy,love it

[@nedwulin4646]

Greatest cleaning video ever! A million thanks. No pointless intro, no meaningless blabbering.

[@haunguyenhuu999]

Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) kzbin.infoUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.

Very professional to put a drop cloth on the antique heirloom dresser before climbing up on it.

[@PublicEnemy04]

😂

[@rbreck777]

Thank you. Had my mini split installed in August. No maintenance schedule or procedures were included in the manuals. Took me 10 minutes to clean the filters on the three heads. Perfect. Found something useful on KZbin.

[@victork3397]

Make sure you clean those filters regularly!

[@matttzzz2]

​@@victork3397like at least 3 times a day!

[@joeslovo7384]

It sure will be nice when midwest USA has Jesse's skill level. Thanks for a helpful video.

[@ServiceBusinessMasteryPodcast]

Awesome job showing the step by step process to clean the unit.

[@trodriguez362]

that was a very professional service. I dont have alot of experience with minisplits and I would like to learn to service them better. your video was very helpful thank you very much

[@damon6852]

Very little info online with respect to mini splits...this is excellent though!

[@kentdalman]

This was a great video I learned a lot. Loved the use of the wireless testo diagnostic tools. Please keep up the videos!

[@dan110024]

I run a Testo 549i in my tool pouch. Super handy for checking pressures of units during maintenance, saves carrying a manifold around. The only thing that catches you out is it sometimes doesn't fit if something is in the way. I also keep a small 4" hose with a male/male adapter that I use if it doesn't fit.

Seems like a lot of work when the evaporator spray will do just as good without the haste of that bib. Nu-Calgon 4171-75 Evap Foam No Rinse Evaporator Coil Cleaner, 18 oz.

[@lukehodgson5222]

Thx for the informative video! Eventually I'll have a Daikin 3 zone ductless and will be servicing them myself. Very helpful!

[@crisprtalk6963]

I cleaned mine for the first time since it was installed two years ago. My blower wheel had caked on crud! It's not that bad a job.. actually hardest part was getting the cover off. Those clips are tough!

[@seesea-sv3xw]

Did you notice a difference of air flow before cleaning? My unit is a little over a year old and I noticed air only coming out one side, thinking the blower wheel must be caked on one side.

[@powrpacks]

@@seesea-sv3xw The blower wheel on my unit got so bad that my unit was thrown out of balance, and ended up killing my blower motor bearings, so I had to order another blower motor. I work out of town so it ran off balance for too long. Unbelievable the amount of build up on the blower wheel! I was able to replace the bearings in my motor once, but the vibration eventually killed it due to the bearing carrier housing bore getting worn out.

[@Juice421fs]

Great video! Just what I needed!

[@travisbalthazar5329]

Great job. Thanks for the video. Love this company. All employees are amazing.

[@HVACS]

Couldn't agree more!

[@tylermahar2291]

Awesome video! Would it be the same process for Daikin?

[@danielseerattan980]

Best servicing video I’ve ever seen… very professional.. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Dillonmechanical]

Man I know that was hard to explain while working that hard! Great job tho and it is appreciated!

[@mikethomas5541]

You guys , I’d love if you did a special one just for daikin mini splits. The blowers are actually harder than they appear on the 17 seers like the one I have . That’s due to the shaft moving on the angle you lift the wheel ,but when you pull the blower to the left to pull out the shaft slips of course out of the female end but lays back perfectly straight , then when you try to get the blower back on shaft I’ve had to make a special clip for the shaft out of a coat hanger . Love to see a special on daikin cleanings . Not sure what that is Jesse’s working on . Thanks Mike

[@travisewing1795]

Wow never seen such a clean mini split wheel before cleaning it

[@HealthInfo]

Excellent step-by-step description.

[@DIlic-iz9tx]

_Bravo i svaka čast. Savršeno odrađen posao._ 👍

[@707AR15]

Great video. I’ll just do it myself now and save some money.

[@Socrateshal]

You are really good professional and I really appreciate your way of working tidy and safe! You are an example of how to do it My congratulations from Greece and i wish you could be in Abu Dhabi in order to see how much dirty and mud the units have where the outside temp is 45°c=113°F and I live in the roof room.... It is a hell oven inside without ac and the smell of the bacteria awful and dangerous. Need to be done without special tools only with detol and water sprey from windows cleaning spray pump...!

Μαθητής Λυκείου ,,I do not think, that people here knows anything about DETOL, I grew up in a BRITISH country, so I knew what you were speaking of, Cheers from NJ.

[@themontecitoapartments3275]

That looks like a very thorough cleaning job. I'm in San Antonio, TX. Have an apt complex with 69 mini splits. How much can I expect to pay per unit for that service, and how often do I need them cleaned approx. TIA.

[@mrrutledge1967]

Very well done. Thanks.

[@michaelcostello6991]

Did you clean the out door condensor coil ? Is that required on these units or did you see it was clean already. Thanks for very informative video. This was not covered on my HVAC course at all.

[@tptm100]

I think these coils a coated too

[@kinggenius6660]

Good thorough job!

[@questioneverything1776]

How often do you recommend cleaning to avoid mold? I know the filters are supposed to be cleaned every 2 weeks but the mold buildup is worrisome.

[@Andifnot316]

Does you’re smell moldy when you turn it on ?

[@mcstar24]

​@@Andifnot316mine does.

[@CHOMAHOMA]

I liked it. The only thing I think could be done better is to clean the outside unit more thoroughly.

[@rusack7174]

Did I miss any cleaning of the outdoor compressor unit?

[@TommyMartinezTube]

NICE!!!! how much would this cost in this exact mini split application?

[@scottreese5492]

How much is a service like that cost, that was alot of work , very professional

[@tyhuffman5447]

a paint brush or similar for physical cleaning would offer superior cleaning to chemical cleaning alone. Spray with cleaner and then brush the evaporator fins then spray with cleaner and finally rinse with water.

[@garygrey650]

1. Q= 4.5x CFMX Enthalpy change; that is the formula for the net cooling once you know the supply and return air wb and db temperatures. 2. hoses that are prefilled with freon if they have quick connects do not waste any refrigerant. 3. Cooling capacity is not constant and has to do with CFM, indoor wb temp and outdoor db temp.

[@gurugee2112]

Thorough inside cleaning. But my mini has fine fins on the outside coils that a brief hose spray will do nothing for. That job is only half done.

[@Ravip80]

I need this service at my house!

[@732coop]

Great video thanks so much for sharing!!

[@sp1200M3D]

HVAC techs are neurolinguistically trained to use words like “debris”, “dirt”, “mildew”, to avoid using the word MOLD.

[@guycalabrese4040]

OMG! You do all that in a service? In Sweden they just spray some stuff on the indoor unit and the outdoor unit and that's it!

[@Nemisiss246]

This has helped me alot, thank you.

[@DC_Dan]

Very well done video, I love that kit. I love it, even more, knowing you don't need any PPE to use it

[@HVACS]

I sense snark there at the end

[@DC_Dan]

@@HVACS I couldn't resist :) I haven't seen the instructions so it may not be needed

[@eduardoacosta2315]

Excellent and Professional 👏💯 Thank you

[@thefleaflop]

Hi,... Well done sir.... I really like the cleaning bag design, but does not seem to have a back splash to catch behind and above unit. Any issues with that?? Also,. Does the bag system come with the Dissolve package?... Thanks.

[@johnnyprotalk3352]

awesome video i like that fact you dont do a half assj job . helpful

[@tptm100]

I would love a more hands on learning doing this because the speed of the film video was too quick and I learn better by actually doing it. What do they usually get for this type of maintenance charge per unit head? Are the brands all pretty much the same technique? You make it look so easy, Brian is lucky to have such good techs.

[@mcstar24]

Slow video down

[@kellysuesharp1]

how often do you need to do this entire process? (and not just the filters?)

[@cengeb]

mini splits are the way to go! Heating and cooling, Mitsubishi are the best, QUIET, efficient, reliable..

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Better video than most thank you! It would have been better if you camera man wasn't a room away shooting the video! Personally move the furniture out from under the equipment and cancel the elevator music!

[@powrpacks]

I'd have to agree- rather than breaking your back working over that dresser, I'd moved it out of the way to work directly under the unit.. Just my 2 cents!

[@Fraustyair]

This is for HVAC School, have you ran into any mini-splits where you can’t take blower wheel off? Because I ran into a Fujitsu the other day and I couldn’t figure out how to take that wheel off.

[@Avid_Reader]

I have a Fujitsu as well, that's why I'm here, looking for ways to clean it. Mine has a lot of build up on it.

[@gregrichard9192]

Great job Why did you put the shim behind the bib instead of in front?

[@GlenS123]

Your measurement of two refrigerant lines at condensing unit is your system superheat. Doesn't really tell us much though as Mitsubishi doesn't publish pressures /temps to compare it to. On their Multi City sytems that is how they measure superheat.

[@justthatjoeguy]

How often would this need to be done? I know reusable filter can be often, but how often would you need to use the desolv kit?

[@derrickenbuenosaires]

Thank God I do commercial refrigeration. I wouldn't be able to handle all that tedious bull lol

[@Imwright720]

Speaking for all those homeowners who need these services we are glad also.

[@wasimabbasi2664]

good to know how parts come off but is it a necessary pm to perform.

[@cristo0422]

How long take you to do this good work ?

[@deancook558]

Nice job. What's the charge for this?

[@JamieRobinsonCanada]

What would it cost a customer to get this service done?

[@rafaelmartinsdecastro7641]

Good job!

[@avm5717]

Push down as I pull out I'll remember that.

[@carolynm9638]

Hey dude - did you turn off the power first? Or not necessarily …?? 😳

[@johnnyprotalk3352]

awesome , what is the formula to check the capacity . without guages? if you dont mind sharing

[@HVACChillin]

Nice job on cleaning that

[@Andifnot316]

What would you say about moldy smell coming from the system?

[@chrisalive1975]

Did you use a pump garden sprayer for rinsing?

[@samuelg3586]

Too much time and work when you have 6 more maintenances to do in 1 day but this is the right way to do it....

[@AllanDSingh]

Do people ever clean behind the evaporator coils??

[@joshperez7731]

Damn bro, alot of work. How much do y'all charge for this & how long does it take you? You do this for a normal PM?

[@martinwoods6716]

How long did it take you to clean system. How much is the average charge / cost to clean system…???

[@hamidmazuji]

did you recover your two 605i s from the indoor unit

[@335alien335]

Such an awesome job inside, balanced against an absolute crap job cleaning the condenser.

[@balkenkreuz2063]

Do all ductless mini-split systems ought to get cleaned that way? I've heard from a licence HVAC that ductless systems don't need maintenance at all other that cleaning their washable filters... This makes me wonder...

[@TimothyNaugher]

Balken Kreuz That is totally wrong information. Ductless systems need regularly t maintenance. The are very sensitive to airflow. The filters are not very fine to help keep airflow high, but by doing that they allow more dirt to accumulate on the coil and fan motor. The dirt can greatly effect the performance of your system.

[@caru3257]

The blower wheels get nasty.

[@vu1tur395]

My blower wheel is stuck, like I can’t take it out. It’s COVRED in crap and I really want to take it out and hose it down. I have a Mitsubishi system, is there a trick to getting the wheel out?

[@thorvilkwilliams9596]

Where can I buy that spray kit?

[@ephraimsilberberg708]

What did you use on the garden hose? It looks like it gives good pressure?

[@fjqtaxch9]

Nice job!

[@romand123]

What should it cost to have a unit cleaned out like this?

[@michaelcostello6991]

Why is the smaller liquid line actually the expansion line ?? Please explain this. Thanks

[@KR-ti5uz]

Where do you buy the plastic cover bag for cleaning

[@wes4477]

They do make bib kits with a long funnel so you can actually wash it without completely disassembling the head.

[@tomeck3902]

What about Fujitsu floor mounted units they have an upper and lower blower wheel and I can’t find anything saying how to remove it

[@imzaazmi]

Thank you for the info 👍👍

[@marvingoodwin1]

How long does it take to do the whole process?

[@stephenmarrone9847]

From start to finish, Approximately 1.5 to 2 hrs.

[@stephenmarrone9847]

Cost would depend on Contractor rates. $160-$225

[@chrisl6263]

Thats only a simple 1 to 1, if you have 4 heads....

[@integrity5264]

nice PM, thank you

[@grummelloveyou9101]

How much do you charge for that service thanks.

Where do we get the cleaning kit?

How often you need to to this?

[@user-ep1vq3dn2i]

Job well done

[@rvanbeau2009]

Should the bearing be oiled when cleaning? Mine is noisy.

[@powrpacks]

If your bearing is noisy it probably needs to be replaced. Mine ran out of balance too long due to build up on the blower wheel, which ended up chewing up my bearings..

[@rvanbeau2009]

@@powrpacks Yeah I sure mine was out of balance too as it had a lot of build up. I will try installing a new bearing thanks.
