Spider-Man on a church roof doing acid and McGuyvering 120V AC power 😝😎 Seriously, nice to see a pro that cares about his work. Great rinse tool there. Imagine how many of these units exist across the country...

[@JumpermanTech]

Your comment got me cracking up hahaha Need power somehow and a little acid won't hurt anyone🤪🤪🤪 LOL I definitely care about my work & keeping people comfortable. This unit is from 1998 & still kicking! Needs to be taken care of💯 Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧

[@dimaslespier2688]

Nice job on the coils. Here’s a tech tip for you. We typically remove the entire roof of the unit. And use the same chemical on the evaporator coil. I know it clearly says not for evaporator coils on the label. But we use 16 oz to one gallon of water mix on the evaporator coils come out like new. Just a tech tip from the Long Island Trane techs.

[@JumpermanTech]

Thank you! Appreciate the tip. Definitely need a good rinse if using this chemical as it is harsh and can eat away the coil over time. Taking off the top would definitely help. This is the only chemical that truly washes the coils well from my experience. Thanks for watching & commenting 🙌

[@dimaslespier2688]

@Ben C sounds like an older trane or carrier. In any case it gets cleaned the same way. If you can to move the outer casing and fan wash from the inside out. If you can’t or don’t know how to do that do the best you can with a hose. Through the outer casing. Just take your time.

How much time on average does it take to do an entire cleaning of the coils?

[@kevinhansen9151]

Dude the reason the condenser foamed like that when it didn't look that dirty is because it has to be split apart... Even what you cleaned there is a blanket in between the coil

[@thatmouththo286]

I had to scroll down a bit to find someone mention about that. He's sending current down the ground which could damage sensitive electronics.

Its amazing building owners dont spec out a hose spigot on the roof I cant imagine it would cost that much when they are building the building

As a technician from one of the major manufacturer I could tell you, using a pig leg for power is dangerous and unprofessional and for the most part I have no idea why your using chemical on that condenser coil, it isn’t that bad. We just use water and maybe simple green if theirs grease

[@Holop88]

Not a good idea splicing in that cord like that. You are sending current through the ground and it could be dangerous if ground is not good enough somewhere down the line.

[@txtmodcarlo]

Just a tip blasting with water from the inside out, you will use less water and less effort on rinsing the coils.

[@stevenmoomey2115]

If the customer wasn’t willing to pay for an extra guy, to handle a long hose run and booster pump monitoring, we refused the job. We weren’t going to pay for damaging a roof, because the coil cleaner wasn’t throughly diluted and rinsed away, when rinsing the coils. On foaming coil cleaners use a few drops of Calgon De-Foamer, to aid in rinsing the unit out.

[@Tanneritefilledfido]

This unit has a splittable coil. That condenser coil i bet is still clogged in the middle

[@Engineer9736]

Not sure about US installations, but at least here in Europe you should never use ground as a neutral. It will pop the GFCI, disabling multiple if not all circuits in the building. Afaik in the USA they don’t have whole-building GFCI’s but it’s still not a good practice. You should use a proper neutral as neutral 🙂 If the ground is not properly made in the subpanel, you could put the casing of every single device in the building under 115v, which is a big hazard.

[@JamesJohnson-em9pc]

Great job, on new units with a lot of electronics connecting the neutral to the ground also all current to return back on the ground. This can kill sensitive electrical parts. Works great on older but some newer units can be costly . The vacuuming was definitely an extra step that makes for a really good job.

[@joeyork9891]

I was about to say the same.

[@aaronrojas5645]

[@ip5232]

Good video and detail cleaning ,just surprised you still using chemical in commerce applications, ( love to use them) however a few years ago in many of my building I could not get any company small or large to agree to use them, their policy has change and they won't use any ,o understand why, it's a very strong one and ye did it's old it will damage it more but even on new new ones they were not allowed, i only got one company to use a it of simple green that's all. I still use this at home One thing ,if I use it ,i will definitely will need to use a water hose , believe me with that little pressure and little water there's no way you can rinse that chemo correctly, it really has to be soak and rinse and rinse in order to get it all out ,and that is why I guess the companies dont use it because they know techs will leave residue and it will cause damage.

[@ep3360]

I might have missed it. Once you rinse off coil cleaner, how long do you allow to dry before turning ac unit on?

[@JumpermanTech]

You can start it right up but only once the coil is dry will you get an accurate pressure reading. As long as you didn't wet any components like the motors, you'll be good to start right away. Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️

[@Janijauzaa]

Nice videos mate! I use usually in condensers that are outside just high pressure air. In kitchen theres usually grese so yes you need chemicals to clean that. But atleast here in Finland outside condeser contains only dust and dirt. Like i dont see any reason to wash it with chemicals.

[@thehelpinghandsatvans]

0:14 If everyone could try to only see the positive things in life the entire world would be a muc better place.

Once everyone is happy and genuinely mindful of others we all will rise up as we are all connected. GREAT VID

[@hollywood739]

Why not just pull the top off of the unit You will have much better access Plus they make a jumper plug that you can just plug-in to the disconnect so you don’t get a cut up an extension cord

[@MelKibson]

TG540 does wonder on coils, grease, literally anything you can get your hands on

[@mikewelch1342]

You should probably go back and edit this and let techs know. And if you haven’t found out yet. You need to pull the top off. Split that coil and then clean it. Use just water to rinse it with good pressure. That may be enough to clean it. If not then use a chemical. Nubrite is harsh. Don’t leave it on so long.

[@zzzlll5658]

This is very corrosive, before you start to use it ,you should read MSDS sheet. This is no joke ,I use to use it . Now I use only degreaser.

Sir. I find your video is so much helpful. I want to ask 1 question, if this chemical was for outdoor only, so what chemical is for indoor? Thank you

If the condenser is dirty due to dust, then pressurized water and a biodegradable detergent is the best practice, these liquids ultimately weaken the aluminum fins.

[@benjaminwoodward2362]

I love watching your content man. It’s always very interesting. Keep it up!

[@ro63rto]

Being that all the dirt in the coils is probably bone dry, would it be better to run a vacuum over them first to get the majority out and then use the cleaner after?

[@JumpermanTech]

Thats a good idea too. Maybe even blow out the coils dry with an air compressor then perform the wash. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for new videos every week⚡🔧

0:01:06 You have 14 gauge wire on a 40 or 50 amp circuit breaker and no GFCI. And you are standing in water. It wouldn’t meet OSHA requirements. At least you should get a cord with GFCI protection built-in. Using ground for neutral is awful. But since you work alone, you’re not likely to kill anyone else.
