Cleaning a Lennox Condenser

Make sure the big line, the suction line, is insulated.

When cleaning a condenser, or anything electrical for that matter, it is a good idea to turn the power off to the unit especially when you are using water to clean the unit. I'm not sure, but in this video I believe I observed the dryer vent venting near the big Lennox condensing unit. This is a no no as all the dust and lent exhausted from your dryer goes right into the coils of the air conditioning unit. I see this a lot and it is the cause the for higher utility bills and for condensers failing to efficiently cool the house. Relocate the dryer vent far away from the condensing unit to prevent this from happening. 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

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...

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!

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...
