Fujitsu Evaporator Coil Leaks/Replacement/Plus Deep Cleaning!

[@PilotInCommand777]

Good morning, I enjoyed watching. Nice how thorough you did the job, even wiping excess grime. I installed a Fujitsu 12000btu ductless mini split purchased from our local Johnstone supply 8-9 years ago and it just runs. No issues. I am located in the California desert and it does get hot here. Is there any maintenance these need or that you suggest? I called a local hvac guy for a so called tune-up and all he did was try to convince me to replace the whole unit. His reason was, it is old and could go out anytime.... Thanks and again, nice job!

Nice response, thanks. I definitely say at that age it’s not ready yet. But I do understand your need for cooling over there is very important. But do a good cleaning with a hose like I did on the outside unit. Then use a hand held sprayer for the indoor coil. Clean you air filter monthly. Plus try to run water through the drain of the indoor coil. But that should happen anyway if you use enough water for the coil. Use some viper foaming coil cleaner spray on coils prior to spraying water on them. Wait a couple minutes for it to soak and then rinse them well. God speed!
