What's up it's Sunday again, I've done a lot of birdlife videos on Sunday, something about it. So these wonderful customers have a dirty coil and I mean like really dirty right. So yesterday these people have their coil cleaned by a company and it's still really dirty and what happens is the float switch is clogged when I show up here this one right. So I get a call flow switch, is clogged and it's not running so he cleaned the coil overflowed to the float, switch and left there not working.
You see what I got here. What the heck am i doing booyah might here anyways? They tried to call this guy back turns out that he lets them know this morning, that or last night that he doesn't service Pacey's. When there's a problem he just goes cleaning. You would think that that would mean that you must be really good at the cleaning right.
Not so much you'll find out here check it out. Let's go ahead there. It is that right there is your clean coil. This guy called out just to clean the coil.
So today you guys are in for a little treat. I'm gon na walk you through my process of doing a cleaning place on Sunday cuz. You know when you're working on a Sunday, it's exactly the same as any other day you clean actually have a little time. I don't have another call right now: it's pretty mild weather out first, this guy, my baby for cleaning place, got all the controlling me.
Okay, no chance! I'm going in that dark hole by myself. You guys are coming in here to see this make sure you follow what I'm doing here. First step, I'm gon na vacuum, everything off of the surface. So, even before I put cleaners on it, I'm gon na vacuum off the surface and then my cleaners will be able to penetrate straight into those coils bin.
So because I know a lot of you are gon na ask I've leaped the fan on because let's falls on my head. While I'm doing this first process, and so I think the fan on a lot of key things, stuff is getting at my eyes and stuff. Like that, but you know just do whatever works for you, that's a foreign thing. You put stroking this gently you're, not damaging anyway, bending over fans with just pay attention to that.
Okay, so I've done most of the coil on both sides. Here's the update should be able to see the difference right there and I'll just vacuum. The rest of that out, my coils will be able to drink up the cleaner that I put in there better be focused on my beautiful face. Okay, so that coil looks pretty good half free, cleaner.
Now we're ready for some cleaner and some rinsing all these liars. How come you always get to go out? First, oh yeah, you want to watch me got it totally makes sense. Okay phase, one is done, go ahead and turn this thing off. Probably my favorite for evaporator coils braised in spans pushes the dirt loose, also self rent.
So you can leave it on there if you need to that's. What's next now, normally I'll wear a mouthguard, and if you know me, you know exactly how true that is, but got this Mike. You got ta, be able to hear me. There's a nice sharp beam that pushes straight into the coils where, if you guys get caught one more time around my mic wire, it's like you, don't even want to hear what I have to say dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones. I've, never known. Don't get a lot of white Christmas and Florida, so this is as close as it gets this in a good, solid, frozen, evaporator I'll catch up with you guys later, so you can see what's starting to happen, starting to push the dirt out. So it's like actually coming out with the foam these little bits of dirt in there okay, the cleaners are sitting on the coil. This is the part of the story where take the vacuum outside and then hook up to the drain for the Red Sea.
Let's stop the classics, but I just can't help myself somebody locked out, so I just dumped a gallon of water when I first got here and that's what came out of the drain after his maintenance Rosalie, he cleaned the coils, which these look pretty good, but anyways. Next step hook up here and then what we'll have is a lot of water pulling through the drain. While I do the rinse on the evaporator book, okay, quill jet from speed clean, so I'm using the rents lying evaporator coil, I like it, it's portable. It also gives me perfect control over how much water I spray on the coil.
I use it for my cleaning places and my mini split cleaning. It's been good. You can see here nice control, low volume, but high pressure. What you want on an inside coil, have it get yourself? One of these for cleaning it'll make a big difference for you, so I'm gon na rinse it from the top down inside out opposite direction of airflow.
Of what I'm trying to say - and I will start there - I actually forgot to tell you, but I'm gon na go and spray out the tracks wipe out the tracks, because without those tracks clean when I'm rinsing, it's just going to overflow sand clean on the tracks. Okay, once I have rinsed it well from the top down opposite air flow, I'm going to take it inside and rinse with an downward angle from the inside. So let's go, you guys are actually right there in the middle of it getting messy. So I really appreciate your dedication to what's going on here.
A lot of a lot of people would stay so close in here with me and kind of Alliance in the middle of the mess you know get a splash in the face. That sort of thing looks so much better. Okay. Now, if you turn buddy, I'm gon na put this camera somewhere.
I'd only start at the top down, but I'm starting to demonstrate see the kind of control I can have with this gun right. There speed clean in action, love this stuff. Okay, you guys get what's going on here, so you keep getting messy and I feel a little bit bad about that. I think you got the gist of it.
So first rinse try to get as much as you can from the opposite direction of the airflow. So you don't push a bunch of heavy stuff back into the coil and then rinse it down here. Make it look nice. You can show your customer how well you did on their coil and then leave some self rents cleaner on the coil, so it continues to stay clean for longer, talk about filters, their importance and how to use them. Oh, I tell you what this kind of thing doesn't turn you on. Are you even a real technician? Look at that look at that quo. Oh it's! So much better and it's fun cleaning big part of what I do what I really enjoy. I think we're done.
Okay, it's important finish. Strong clean up everything around out here make sure it looks nice make sure you show the customer before and after photos of what you've done when you're doing a project like this, that they can't access, voila, you're, good you'll have a customer for life and keep those Clothes clean makes a huge difference for your system have a lot of fun doing it like I did. It's probably my favorite project get yourself set up, and this job will be a lot easier. You won't shy away from doing something like this anyways thanks for joining me Sunday again until next time, guys see it almost forgot finish strong with some of this drain and treatment in there.
You see in my drain video. You know you know where that, let's forgot you guys, I've never done until you filled up that trap and watched it drain. You guys. I've seen me get distracted on a Sunday before.
Which bit of the coil did the other guy clean? Great job Bert
Good man, I think I would have rather pumped down and pulled it. Or at least pulled something over me. Hats off to you doing it in place while under it…
Great Job!!!!!
Though difficult it is really easy due to the easy access. How about a video on a coil cleaning on a gas furnace? Likely have to pump down the system and remove the coil and clean outside. No one talks about this type of cleaning because no one does it or will a customer pay for the labor. May as well replace the system. Are you in Kanata ?
With the Corona virus floating around maybe a face mask wouldn’t be a bad idea when doing the dry vac. to protect yourself. Just my 2 cents. Great job!👍
Great job Bert you are an outstanding team player, Trying to find a video of Bryan in a confined space eating cleaner but I don’t think they made cameras back then.
The difference between a $389.00 cleaning and a $29.00 cleaning!
I really like your videos! What setup do you use for your mic?
Best part of this video besides for bert is the porn music
a shop vac brush attachment might really suit your needs Bert. You sure got that coil clean tho
Starting out my teacher did in place coil cleans. For me if I’m going to clean a coil it’s getting pulled out. In place coil cleans sound easy but in reality there is a lot of preparation I goes into in place coil cleaning. Just my opinion. Good video though bro
Great Job Bert… One question, What do you do about Gas Furnaces with the coil being seperate and in a tight attic space ? Service area Ottawa??
hey Bert those hot media chickas from speedclean got u convinced to use that power sprayer lol, get the full face clear plastic face thingee ,man that coil should have been a cut n clean sorry about your sundays man $$ hope u well 👍

You should also wear a mask for extra protection
ROMANTIC MUSUC AND A CLEAN MACHINE WHAT ELSE COULD BE BETTER
