    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.

    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
  • @dm7097
    Gotta love the ones who don’t think about their major systems until they press the button and nothing happens.
  • @drodriguez394
    Them Lenox units are my favorite to work on. Made with the service tech in mind.
  • 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..
  • It’s good to see you back again Joe. Your videos are very educational & I’m sure will inspire some to look into hvac.
  • 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.
  • Good job! They're fortunate that the thing had a functional high pressure switch!
  • @carbonunit
    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

    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.
  • "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.

    Hey Joe, I liked the green cleaner touch on the top of the unit. I haven't seen that one before nice touch man! 👍✅️

    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.
  • 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
  • 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!!
  • @mpurecat4155
    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.
  • When they are that bad, it's a little satisfying for me peeling back the gross..🤣🤢☮☯️ enjoy your videos!
  • @bebomarin
    Is that a dryer vent to the left of the unit? That could explain the preponderance of lint-like debris on the coils.
  • Just made that customer happy saved them on their power bill
