Usually when I run into these the house only has 1 system. And if it’s not sunny or warm outside they always went back wet. Using your tip they should’ve dry.

Have that exact model that came with the house, massive POS, not even sure if it's applying voltage at this point. Will replace it with a regular filter box when I get the system changed out, hopefully next year.

I use a 1 gallon garden sprayer with a fan tip for my dilute mixes of cleaner. Really helps penetrate deeper then just the bottle can. Plus it's easier on the wrists then squeezing the handle over and over XD.

If you look at the ground I have a Coil Gun that I used on the condensers. I don’t dilute ahead of time. I only had one bottle of coil cleaner I had to make last on 7 condenser coils. I only used the spray bottle on the eac. Used this to clean the condensers The Coil Gun A Must Own HVAC Tool For Cleaning Coils ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EUhWyaSyUvk.html

Why would you clean the dirt/debris off of the filters directly into the ac unit.... I know you aren't nessesarily washing it directly into the coils or electrical; but still, you had plenty of better places around to do that.
@thehvachacker
@thehvachacker 5 лет назад
I still have to clean the ac condensers. So the dust I wash out of the filter will just rinse off anywhere it lands.

These homeowners are preventing me from going 100% commercial. They told my employer either they send me or they cancel their contract. Amazing the power of persuasion. Yet I like working in these houses. This guy tips a hundred every time I'm there for maintenance. He didn't like who they sent last time, they told him I don't do resin anymore. Yet he made sure I take care of his house. I'm there all day 8 units at the main house and I quickly check the pool house unit. My company can't let me leave or these customers would hunt me down. Many followed from my previous employer when I switched to this one ten + years ago

@@thehvachacker We have a similar situation here. We're a high end service company that has some really rich clientele. They demand certain high level techs and wont let most people into the gate let alone the house. Its hard to find good techs that aren't there to scam customers and sell things they don't need. Real good companies know which guys to hold too and appease.

My customers on most sites have an open wallet and don’t care what I need to do as long as their equipment works. I never have to get approval yet usually they only pay for their maintenance and filters. With this much equipment things will break so why sell them stuff they don’t need.

I hate them. No easy way to clean them in the winter! And they don't last forever, maybe 10 years if that? Also, there's no way to gauge their air cleaning efficiency. Give me a 4" or 5" width filter any day over these! In fact, it is probably likely you can replace these electronic inserts with one or two of the box filters. A relative of mine has an electronic cleaner in their home from 1999, it has two of these units. For 10 years they didn't realize that there was a SECOND unit to pull out and clean.....they were just cleaning half of the filter for 10 years! I recall it zap, zap, zapping when new. Now you barely ever hear a zap at all even with yearly cleanings.

How do you know if it's working? I haven't dealt with an electronic air filter before. I just seen one today at a friend's house. He was asking about where to change the air filter and that's when I noticed the electronic air filter. I took it out to look at it and put it back in. When I put it back in I heard the zapping popping noise and was wondering if that was normal.

Your doing alright my good man. Geesh yes I remember when these things were ridiculously popular. Damage to them was an expensive pocket draining replacement part. I’m Glad they’ve gotten a lot less popular they tell aren’t that good and expensive to run! Had my return updated this spring and got a nice new huge filter rack with a very nice effective and less restrictive high flow filter on there now. AC is getting is getting its full CFM per ton rating now and running beautifully and saving me money and keeping things cleaner and way more comfortable this season. Plus no more flooding back of my compressor with poor air flow! 👍👍 I knew there was problem when I bought my older 1970’s home a year ago.a brand new system was here and never had a chance to be efficient with a way undersized return from a lousy contractors who did the job for the previous homeowners. The heat had plenty of stratospheric action going on and now you don’t even notice the heat has ran as its much much more even from floor to ceiling in that regard now too! Being a helper when I was younger taught me all of this and it aided in me getting the work I needed done with my much much better service contractor.

Electronic filters are 99% efficient, if you maintain them biweekly. Anything less the efficiency drops off a cliff. No one has the time to do that, understandably. Power heads on these are extremely expensive when they go bad as well. Now you can put in an extremely efficient media filter for 40$ and change it every 6 months to a year and have a spotless unit.
