HVAC System Change Out evaluation

[@jme36053]

A whole-house air cleaner system like that, in a crawl space, isn’t likely to be serviced often by the homeowner - if at all.

[@Sesamestreet9080]

Aren’t those expensive anyways lol definitely a salesman came in and sold them a unit

[@goorioles1976]

Another reason to get rid of crawlspaces.

[@scottallen5182]

A lot of people won't change the filter in a hallway filter grill. They for sure won't crawl under the house to service it. This one is on the installing contractor!

[@d3adp94]

That’s why they pay us to do it

[@sqike001ton]

They are great if the homeowner crawls under the house to do the maintenance

[@tedsmith5058]

Hello from the great state of Michigan

[@bobgallo3775]

Glad to hear that I am not the only one who did like the Clean Effects from day one.

[@mwdub02]

No one does lol

[@zaccody6980]

I totally agree. Trane makes excellent products, especially on the commercial side but those filters suck

[@boywhohadatiger]

The biggest gripe with that filter is when you clean it an it isnt 100 percent dry it’ll trip and say it’s dirty. I despise any electric filter tbh just cause of the fact most home owners are uncomfortable with cleaning ore replacing them and if they shock themselves they not gonna like you. Either a standard merv 8 or 5 inch pleated filter is good enough for the vast majority of applications and the home owner won’t get shocked or have to deal with the electronics

[@joshuaseaton4526]

Looked like a swamp cooler cabinet to me, Ted.

[@The700XXrider]

It sounded like the blower wheel was rubbing, but it's getting replaced anyway.

[@blahblahblah4632]

Man, that filter could block the sun! lol

[@flyingjeff1984]

Vacuum the pre-filter. Use compressed air on the honeycomb. Use a piece of foam on the 'charger'.

[@throttlebottle5906]

seeing the pvc flue pipe ran into chimney, it probably continues up the chimney and out the top, with the chimney covered to keep debris and rodents out or I'd hope it's done properly that way! ** ahh at 8:33 yes, there it is!

[@roberttrains]

We have one of those filters clean it every 5-6 months but we have standard filters before that filter. We live on 5 acres 80% dirt we kill paper filters every 3 weeks i can only imagine how often i would have to clean that filter if i dis not have paper filter before.

[@Chris_In_Texas]

The EAC's work great if you have an easy accessible location like in a basement, not a crawlspace or attic. 👍🤪

[@kwd57]

I have had a cleaneffects air filter for quit a while now and the inside of my furnace is clean enough to eat off of, but the one's I see you service with standard filters, look very dirty inside, so they must work pretty well. What is Trane got planned to do with the cleaneffects air filters when they have a problem, now that they stopped making them and they don't seem to have parts for them anymore?

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

It's dumb when they put a serviceable air filter assembly in the crawl space where no one will ever want to go. At least the pleated 4" or 5" filters get replaced only once a year. But an electronic cleaner I think they require a lot more maintenance than that?

[@ItsTheCostanza]

A super tech would try to upsell the customer on a new expensive unit that requires monthly visits lol.

[@williamserver4332]

That furnace shoukd not run with a filter that plugged up

[@nomusicrc]

How does that furnace not go into thermal shut off because of lack of airflow

[@Eddy63]

Good vid and yes do a follow up ... Thx ...

[@g-dogn-dog6983]

What's with all the damn crawl spaces in your area?! I'm getting too old for that!

[@Keith_Mikell]

Candy cane all day. I have it for my septic and bosch vent.

[@Bob.W.]

Thanks. Claustrophobia. That prefilter would be ok in a basement or closet. Not there.

[@GreyRockOne]

Ted loves these calls..

[@robertcherry4971]

Yea I see maybe a 14 and a couple of 10’s at a minimum. I would more then likely go with a 16 and 2 tens. 100,000 Btuh input need 1500 CFM in my mind.

[@stephenbullock-yn3vh]

It's ridiculous how some a/c tecs put return under the house.your 💯 right on the exhaust installed wrong.they could have have the exhaust go along floor to outside 🙄

[@raulmeza3149]

Hello mr ted!

[@thesilentonevictor]

Lack of maintenance on the owners house

[@garyg8036]

I personally would never purchase any house with a crawl space under it. A basement is one thing but a crawl space. 👎

[@alanm2842]

in the south part of the usa basements are just a mold heaven. just not done that way.

[@38mullet]

clean effects always a pain in the butt

[@joshhodges5688]

We call it over maintenance 😂

[@Farm_fab]

Another "cruel" space.😁

[@edp.4475]

It's not trane cleaneffects air cleanerI call it trane chokeeffectss I prefer media filter system too

[@markcotter2355]

That filter set up is horrible, it should have been designed with the 5-inch media filter for ease of maintenance and less often because of the unfortunate location of the furnace. I much prefer a true mechanical room for the ease of maintenance and serviceablity. I recommend people not buy houses made with poor design.

[@iwrk]

Having any HVAC that does not have easy access for servicing and changing filters is just a stupid idea.

[@aspenschroeder6117]

I’ve come across worse with snowbird homes

[@udreudre4372]

Clean effects are garbage. When I see them I recommend replacing it with a pure air carbon filter

[@teeg3275]

Those eac’s are trash lol always have been always will be
