This man will share his wisdom with you. Pay attention. It's priceless! Thanks Todd!

@dontfencemein-rving7439 Год назад

Thank you. Very informative. May I add Don't brush side to side. Don't rub the blades with your fingers or you will get cut.

@scottb.7553 Год назад

A+ video! I've cleaned a/c unit's for a friend as well but mainly for the purpose of removing wasp/bee's nest. Exercise caution when opening the cover, just in case!

@BlackGoldAcademy Год назад

Thanks for the extra tip/recommendation! Very helpful

@TravelingonAdventures Год назад

Great video. Just cleaned mine a couple of weeks ago.

@JohnnyLawBMC Год назад

Great info. If you can get on your roof, you can easily do this. Very nicely done Brudda.

@laurenb3139 Год назад

Thanks for this, Todd! I’m currently doing the NRVTA home study course but saved this video as a quick reference. Plus, the info about the Houghton units is great!! Wish I had known about them before having to replace my AC last year. Bookmarked for later!

I wish I had those simple plenum covers over my evaporator coils! I have to cut away foil tape and undo about 12 screws to lift off a metal cover (with sharp edges, I might add!)

@WILDEBILL308 Год назад

Good video. To many look like your plunged up coil. Have you done one on cleaning your CAC and radiator? I have seen CACs as plugged as your coil.

@michellebieke2589 8 месяцев назад

Great video! It would be helpful if you had shown a close-up of the black brush. 😉

@DragonPilot 11 месяцев назад

Be careful not to get any of the foam coil cleaner on gel-coated fiberglass. Typically when you rinse the coils. It will leave streaks that no amount of waxing/cleaning will remove.

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy 2 месяца назад

Yes, it is!

@adventureinourjourney2360 Год назад

Todd... thank you. As you already know on our Coleman-Mack for a Grand Design 30 RBS. How hard would it be to change out the unit for this one. Prices vary from $1,000 to $1300.00 units at RecPro. I have an RV at 35 ft. What raiding do you recommend? Shane Phillips

@johnnylightning1491 Год назад

Psssst Todd, RecPro seems to be selling that Houghton unit under their own name. One other thing, it's apparently not for ducted A/C. Bummer. Keep the good stuff coming.

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Год назад

So there is a ducted and nonducted model yes they are selling it under their name.

@BubbaNerd Год назад

Regarding the Houghton units. I currently have Coleman Mach with the RV Airflow device to improve air movement. Would I need to remove the RV Airflow if switching to the Houghton?

Hi Todd, great video! I also enjoy your Q&A "you ask we answer" videos as well. You guys make it fun to fix things. We were planning a short get away trip out of town this weekend. I always go through and run check all my systems before we go so we do not have any surprises at least on the first day of travel 🙂. As luck would have it, the front roof top house AC compressor stopped working. The dometic low profile Duo Therm 15,000 BTU ducted AC/heat pump is 20 years old. I have two AC units on the roof. I really like the design, looks and the low profile of the Houghton AC you show in this video. My wife wont budge and wants the new AC to be ducted like the old AC. My Class A 36' long and the roof height with the old AC is 12' 9". What are your thoughts about ducted AC's verses Non-ducted. What would you recommend for a replacement ducted AC unit. Thank you

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy 11 месяцев назад

So Houghton makes a ducted version. It’s just taller. Go ducted ;)

@TN-sh4hf 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for your quick reply. I really appreciate it.

@thecherryrvlife Год назад

Have you bench tested the power draw on this one vs. Coleman Mach and Dometic units? If so, please share.

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Год назад

So every week in our AC classes we do.

@shenn.annagins7176 Год назад

Hey, so I’m a customer orientation specialist for a small dealership with very few techs. Our 2023 units from keystone are coming in with a “heat battery” switch and lithium batteries. I don’t know if you have already done a video on it, but could you go over the use and reasons for using a heating component with a lithium battery?

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Год назад

Will do.

@robertnasser9937 Год назад

What do you think about the easy start for them?

@dougsmith747 2 месяца назад

@embracetheadventure_eta 11 месяцев назад

What are your thoughts about replacing with a little bit thicker A/C Filter vs the standard ones that come with it? Does it really affect airflow that much?

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy 11 месяцев назад

No. If you clean your coils then you will not have a problem. Thicker filters means slower airflow which causes problems for the ac. Don’t make your AC an air cleaner. If you need purified air then add an air purifier to the rv.

@user-kn5hx1tt4u Год назад

I've seen a video of improving airflow through the back of the shroud by using expanded metal on the exhaust side of the shroud. is this a worthwhile endeavor? will it improve the efficiency?

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Год назад

Don't forget to check out this week's Q&A tech tip, where Todd answers your question!

@jerrykrobby Год назад

Do you know if the Houghton can operate using a wall mounted thermostat? We have a WiFi thermostat and for our situation in the summer it’s a life saver.

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Год назад

The Houghton comes with it's own remote. There is a wifi version available, but it would still be used separate from your thermostat.

@@NationalRVTrainingAcademy thank you sir for that info this is more than I could get out of the distributor. They didn't mention anything about a wifi option being available.

@michelmichael8957 Год назад

Question about adding that second Ac thst runs with a remote. Since I have. 30 amp rv. I quess I can only run one Ac at a time. Right?

@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Год назад

Depending on the size of the acs. 2 of the Houghton could stay under 30 but you literally have nothing left to run the fridge, converter, tv etc.

@keithhart3212 8 месяцев назад

My opinion is to first use Nitrogen to lightly blow coil clean going in opposite flow of air's normal direction (intake direction). 2nd clean all dirt etc with a foam coil cleaner, now you use an evaporator|cond comb to straighten out coil. If possible use a good dry spray that's going to help dust and dirt be more passive. Now your set. The fast way is get big nitrogen tank and blast the coil in seconds. Problem is you'll damage fins, so use your common sense. If you've got a comb I say blast away. On large commercial units I'd just open panel and blast with nitrogen, makes more sense cost|time wise. If you want to have fun or your anal, go through all the steps. Thanks ..
