Hey guys today, we're gon na do a complete condenser wash with the Viper products. This condenser coil is pretty impacted, we're having a very high head pressure. We do have a dryer vent out here. Homeowner has tried cleaning this condenser coil gotten the surface lint off of it are impacted, so, as you see we're at about 88 87 degrees outside our condenser temperature split on this particular coil, you can tell that somebody's taking a garden hose and just rinsed off the Exterior buildup on the actual coil, but if you look actually inside of the fence, it's completely impacted.

It's really difficult to see in the video, but you can see there's not much surface but underneath of it, it's actually completely impacted all right. Today, we're gon na use the viper heavy-duty cleaner, due to this coil being fairly bad. We're actually gon na go with a ten to one ratio medium to heavy duty on here. So that's gon na be our e, which is our ten to one settings.

So then you just put the dial on e and you're good to go. It's gon na mix it ten to one you all right, so we have the condenser coil cleaned. The difference is amazing. You can actually see through that backside.

You can kind of see the wall behind it. As you knew different angles. You can actually see the cuirass as you knew that different angles before this thing was completely impacted and it was impossible to even see one speck of space with any of it. So we're gon na put it back together, final wipe down and I'm excited to see the results.

As far as the head pressure goes to be pretty pretty awesome.

    Love the videos, however that temp probe on top was in direct sunlight and at the end I couldn’t help but notice it was in shade.

    you put the thermometer on the sun first and then later on the shadow. i am not a rocket scientist but i am sure that will make a difference even if you didnt cleaned the coils

    I cleaned mine today but I left the cage on it for now next time I want to take it off and clean it all around I think I did okay. I rinsed the inside out and sprayed all the stuff on the outside down in the holes at the bottom not everything got out but almost its a lot colder inside the house now. I wish I knew how to take off the fan I didn't see a way to do that though next time I will look a little better.

    What happens if you get the condenser cleaned and then the air is now coming out warmer than it was before?

    Stop saying impacted that the wrong word. Service area Nepean??

    That advertisement though! Worst use of a fin comb I’ve ever seen.

    I was extraordinarily impacted by this impactful video about the heavily impacted condenser coil which negatively impacted the head pressure. Are you in Ottawa ?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Tanguay says:

    Impacted.

    about to go do this on a unit this afternoon hope to see the same results you got! Nice to see the Viper stuff in action.
