I always took off the two ends of a Trane condenser and with a water hose only, cleaned the two ends and just sprayed up the louvers for the other two sides. It got the coil clean enough to work sufficiently.

How is the proper way to clean those on a typical "check & clean". Of course I'm Only supposed to spend about 30 minutes at the job unless more time is needed.

My favorite lint to pick out of the Trane/American Standard lint brush is cottonwood fluff.....

Good work.

Just reading the IOM on a ycd340. they say if using chemicals to not exceed 150* liquid temps on coil or it may burst. How do we regulate are torches when cleaning?

Yea they sell more units that way! Lol

i heard that is how trane wants the coils cleaned with a torch

Vacuumed with shopvac first, then used NuCalgon Special HD Calclean.

Dog house next to condenser

Customer was surprised that it was this bad, only a year since the last cleaning. Dog house and doggy door within 2 ft of unit. 2 large dogs. I threw in a before and after picture.
