Cleaning the Condenser or Compressor?

Cleaning the Condenser or Compressor?

Definitely make sure you turn the power off before doing this.
Is he cleaning the condenser or is he cleaning the compressor. He tells us he is cleaning the compressor but I only observed him cleaning the condenser. Okay, I'm splitting hairs here and I have heard many people call it the compressor but actually it is a condenser. The compressor is inside the condenser and it is not necessary to clean the compressor because it is hermetically sealed and doesn't need cleaning. Getting water inside the compressor (not the condenser) would be a very bad thing any way. Definitely make sure when you remove the top that you do not crimp the electrical wires to the fan motor. When you put the top back on make sure the wires are not crimped either. One other thing about this video. This is another condenser that has a dryer vent right next to it. All the dust and lent from the dryer exhaust will accumulate in the condenser coils and cause problems with head pressure which results in higher utility bills and a unit that doesn't cool as effectively and efficiently as it should. Relocate those dryer vents! What do you think?

The Insane!

Insane Videos

carbon monoxide, cracked heat exchangers, combustion analysis
This guy has trashed HVAC contractors in other videos and in this video he makes the absurd statement that HVAC contractors kill hundreds or thousands of people every year. I give him credit where credit is due but he crosses the line in this video and visits la la land. He definitely has an agenda to promote but he does it at the expense of others.

The Best!

Best Videos

global warming science
There is so much skewed science on global warming that it boggles the mind. Does this mean that I think we should haphazardly trash the environment? Absolutely not! I work in an industry where many of my colleagues including myself are devoted to saving energy and making things more efficient. Read the reviews and watch some of the videos on this site and you will understand more. Read the Review and See the Video...

Funny!

Funny Videos

thermostats, honeywell thermostats, thermostats selection
This video is funny only in the way that this guy tries very hard to incorporate some creativity and humor and fails. He tries awful hard though and it works to make an interesting video. It doesn't take away from his opinion on the Honeywell thermostat and I agree with him. I give it a thumbs up and make fun of the obvious. He needs to buff up on his Shakespeare a little and practice before turning the video camera on but overall he does a good job with this video. Read the Review and See the Video...

global warming science
This video is from the Electrical Educational category and it is an oldie but a goodie. Some of the science needs to be updated but for those interested in learning some basics about electricity this is a good video. Even for those in the know of electricity it's a good refresher.

Full of It!

Full of It Videos!

solar air conditioning
This guy lays it on thick by denigrating air conditioning and blowing up global warming. The solar air conditioning is great and a brilliant energy saving invention. To say the least, after hearing the beginning of the video I'm sure you will agree this guy is full of it! If you are going to win approval and promote a great idea you don't start by attacking the very industry you want to integrate with. Read the Review and See the Video...
