I have the same unit, I usually have to clean it 3 times during the summer, I probably need to replace my Capacitor as well
Surprised that high head didnt bust open that Lennox coil. Some people amaze me. Had a guy last summer who just bought a house, he asked the sellers if they had any maintenance done to the equipment, "nope we just call if it breaks" coil was matted completely. Then it was no surprise the compressor let go come spring time. Felt bad for the guy, 5 year old unit, wrecked because of no maintenance.
Poor compressor, she was too young to go
Unbelievable how some people seem to forget that air conditioning coils require yearly maintenance especially when dealing with expensive equipment! Breakdown maintenance is definitely not the answer! Good Job
@@1948Noam to be honest. Allot of people have other things on their mind. Not just air conditioning
Them Lenox units are my favorite to work on. Made with the service tech in mind.
"Origins of COVID" - made me smile. I survived it. Lucky, I had a mild case with only a couple of days with shortness of breath. It was early 2020, before they had any treatment, so I didn't even go to the doctor. Remembering how miserable a week in a hospital bed was with a kidney stone, I decided to stay with the TVs & internet, as long as I could still walk around. Being skinny probably helped.
I did long for a cylinder of oxygen though.
Beautiful job. And I thought I was the only person who cleaned the exterior of the units. I use "Waterless Car Wash Wax". I just spray it on and wipe it off. It's a little easier on the paint finish than Simple Green. Then I hit the cleaned surface with spray wax and wipe it. There is wax in the cleaner. But using the spray wax makes it last longer. The condenser looks brand new. Doing this protects the paint for another year.
Nice job. It's hard to believe that unit was even cooling!
What a fantastic video! The process of cleaning that dirty Lennox condenser was oddly satisfying, and the content is incredibly informative and beneficial to all viewers. When you're in search of authentic Lennox Condenser and spare parts, our store is the ultimate destination.
I like when a client says I just had maintenance done two weeks ago , I tell them looks like two years ago lol 😆 great job my friend..
I always get the no coling calls where the first question I ask is when was the last time it was maintenanced. Oh 2 years ago, there's our issues. Clogged coils and filter so gunked up it actually gets sucked into the coil. Then causing freeze ups, soaked ductwork and insulation. Low suction high head. It's a domino affect at this point
if that was a crappy lennox merit, you would have had to remove a lot of screws, bend the flimsy, sharp metal coil guard out of shape removing it, then wrestled to get it all back together.
Yet salespeople say they're just as good because "they're lennox" - no, they're just a step above goodman. A unit they put out to compete with goodman and the other cheapos.
Good job! They're fortunate that the thing had a functional high pressure switch!
Just jump them out and let them be free I say
It’s good to see you back again Joe. Your videos are very educational & I’m sure will inspire some to look into hvac.
Had one home owner who just moved into a 6 year old house, both condensers were so caked with dirt and so thick, I was able to remove them in big strips, biggest one I took off was about 18 inches wide by about 2 feet long. it was thick enough that I’d say it was thicker than most tshirts.
Gotta love the ones who don’t think about their major systems until they press the button and nothing happens.
i guess that design protects the coil from dents and such but i like my old 1999 unit that is just wire cage over coils easy to rinse it off and i just have gravel around it so grass clippings don't get sucked in just dandelion seeds and crud blowing around on windy days
Great job cleaning that condenser coil! 👍 I have a Lennox elite XC 14 A/C and I love how the panels easily come off with just two screws. The only thing I do different is use a wet/dry vac to vacuum out the leaves in the inside bottom and also on the outside coil if needed as well. Sometimes I use a brush, like you. Depends how bad it is.
Hey Joe, I liked the green cleaner touch on the top of the unit. I haven't seen that one before nice touch man! 👍✅️
I have my unit cleaned & checked every spring. Just like your car & it's oil changes & filters. You gotta do a Lil preventive maintenance to ensure it lasts.
I believe Lennox’s hold the most debri when it comes to the outside being a blanket all my calls when Lennox’s are involved they are a blanket it’s so common and more expensive for the homeowners on diagnosis and labor you are good dude bro keep up the great work!!
Nice job, anything but those crappy york coils with that "hail protection" mesh that just holds the junk in place even more.
Is that a dryer vent to the left of the unit? That could explain the preponderance of lint-like debris on the coils.
The dryer exhaust is literally right next to it. All that lint gets sucked right into it.
Michigan Heating Guy, Fellow Michigander that needs help with putting the cabinet back together after cleaning the coils on my Lennox model # 13ACXN030. I didn't remove the top but removed all the side and corners panels. Now I'm struggling to get the side / corner panels to realign with the holes. Should I remove the top / fan panel then work on realigning the side and corner panels?
Coils needed cleaning after almost 4 years without attention. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
How do determine a cap rating when the original can't be read??
Hi, I've been told to always spray from the inside out. The little coils can close up. Is this true?
At least Lennox and Armstrong units have easy to remove panels and a traditional coil, imagine if this was a Trane unit instead 😱
Just made that customer happy saved them on their power bill
Aren't you supposed to spray water on the coils from the inside to the outside?
Yesssss
Yes. He just didn't want to hassle with taking the top off.
When they are that bad, it's a little satisfying for me peeling back the gross..🤣🤢☮☯️ enjoy your videos!
I've seen heat sinks like that, but never an AC coil. Does it never rain there?
Hey Joe missed you bro. Welcome back .
They basically got a new machine after the cleaning.
I dont like lennox but they are super easy to clean. Great video
where have you been come on CZcams more often
What cleaning solution do you use?
Careful. There might be a new life form growing in that mess. 😉
Those Lennox are the easiest ones to clean.
I am guilty never knew coils had to be cleaned until this video showed up. Question, what cleaner were you using?
Dave Lennox would be pretty pissed off if he saw that... so much for PM.
how much is cost to service clean one like this
A garden hose everyone once in awhile would have saved them a head ache. Oh well
nice work
what liquil that you are using please
WTF causes a fur coat like that on your condenser coils????
Cotton wood trees
Ya that's pretty much the most junk i have ever seen on a condenser, good work on that unit.
5 Thumbs uP
Does your wife know you are pretty good at cleaning things? 👍😉
