You could probably count the number of impact points and come up fairly accurate.
Someone should try a comb or just place a bid.
Wonder what the head is on this one?

I guess that would be why they make hail guards...
Sh*t, that's a Carrier. All it takes is a hard RAIN to do that damage!
Seriously, I hate those coils. You can't spray a hose on it that has ANY reasonable water pressure at all without folding the fins right over. They are the thinnest I've ever seen!
I've lost count on how many roof top units damaged by hail!
I don't understand by some units don't have them..
When we were in Chicago in June, riding the El, i've seen a few Rheem/Ruud roof top units with the hail guard cut off!
Tell me about it. IMO there 50SX condensers are the worst, not only do they bend but if there a few years old they just fall apart.
If your not going to be careful when cleaning some of them you might as well leave the dirt packed in them.The unit would probably be better off......
Think of all the money the customer will save not having to clean the coils.
Regular pressure from a garden hose will push fins in, let alone hail. They are the worst to clean.

Dude even the 20 ton gas packs and heat pumps. Coil fins are weak as fack!
And you're right about leaving the dirt.
I spray on coil cleaner. Rinse with LOW garden hose pressure.
Then spend 30 minutes trying to fix all the bent fins.
Then wonder if I should have even bothered!!!
I've got 13 of those to comb out this week. These are tranes though. You can here the compresor's sight of relief with every stroke of the fin comb. I've got a couple of pics of a make up air that rolled about 60 ft across an airplane hanger roof and then to the ground at the same place. Not a pretty site.
