I am an HVAC maintenance technician. There is more we do than just that. I also check the amp readings on your blower motor, fan motor, and compressor. I also check the refrigerant pressures, and check the sub cool and super heat to make sure the unit isn't low on refrigerant. Unfortunately you have to have someone licensed to do that. You definitely don't want to mess around in the electrical panel if you don't know what you're doing.
Great video advice! After being fool by a maintenance company. I was on the necessity to watch videos and get knowledgeable about maintenance steps before the technician put a foot on my house again.
@@PanTheOrganizer I use both Google and RUclips as search engines. I find that YT videos are often not as thorough as text found by Google, but while text is reading material requiring imagination, videos provide images and audio to convey information more easily. On YT I submitted the words "a/c maintenance" into the search function. Below about 3 ads for related businesses in my geographical area I found your video listed about 3rd (on Sep 7, 2020). Repeating the YT search does not keep your video consistently in 3rd place but all the several times I tried it was always listed among the top 5. I subscribed and watched some of your other videos like the Turtle Wax restoration of the polycarbonate plastic of car headlamps. It's a struggle for me not to be wordy. I appreciated Anthony being so thorough in your video; like text AND video. I live in a 3-bed, 2-bath, 2-car garage in SW Florida -- and it's Summer right now ☀️💦 so I need to know about the maintenance of my a/c 😓
Thank you! That really bothered me while watching this video! TXV is the thermal expansion valve. It regulates the flow of refrigerant. The sensing bulb for the TXV is on the front of your evaporator coil. Where he was looking at the drain pan. It kind of looks like a CO2 cartridge. It should be insulated with foam tape
@@jessicaeagan3165 4:52 Fallow the 3/4 copper line where it goes into the coil. Your TXV bulb is strapped to that line. They should be wrapped in insulation tape so ambient air doesn't effect the metering process.

Yes this is the basics for homeowners to start understanding their HVAC systems. But what would you add for more experienced homeowners (not professionals obviously lol)?
Hahahah thanks! He had already done a visual inspection prior to the video, explain to me what we would be going through for the video. Plus he already knew my house and knows my OCD levels of cleaning everything. :)
I have a question, hopefully you can guide me in the ride direction. Info before question: I have an HVAC unit and the coil inside the house is set in an angel. I noticed last night rust is staring to build up on the pan that catches the water from the coils that leads to the drain pipe(s) and the bottom of the coil. What would you recommend I use to remove the rust that is on the pan and starting to come up the side of the coil? I do use the coil cleaner form twice a year and I know they remove dirt, debris, and other junk that gets in to the fins. I am stuck with Google searching how to remove the rust. I do not want to introduce no chemicals (acids, anodes, etc.) without hearing from experts in the HVAC field.
Don’t use too much coil cleaner on your evaporator coil (the one in the in the unit inside of the house), to remove rust I use a small shop vac and maybe gloves and a bucket to remove thicker debris, if you see rusting/oil stains you may have a leak and require a epa certified technician or HVAC contractor to send a technician to further investigate, also use hot water and vinegar in a gallon water bottle and pour down your primary drain so it can clean out your drain
I recently applied for a Maintenance Technician position at my workplace, so I searched "how to maintain and repair hvac equipment". Your video was the first one that came up. Although, we deal with larger machinery where I work (HelloFresh), I still found the information very interesting and useful.
@@PanTheOrganizer moving to a new home and was concerned about the HVAC system at the home. When I visited they had AC's and fans in some rooms and I didn't understand why.
I like how you're checking the supply facing side of the coil.... you also speak of checking for leaks but dont show how to do a simple condenser coil cleaning....
You inspecting the back of the coil ? You need to check the other side of the coil where the the airflow comes from. Pull out that black round plastic in the middle and you’ll see.

Glad it was helpful!
He's a great teacher. This is something you should watch before buying a home 🙆🏿♂️
Thanks for watching! How did you discover my channel Letrel?
@@PanTheOrganizer I searched Hvac repair hacks. Amongst other instructional videos, this was straight to the point and indeed helpful
Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it!
@@PanTheOrganizer You're welcome, keep up with your awesome videos!
I don't have an HVAC but I enjoy Pan's videos! ha
Heheh thanks! We can always learn a thing or two! :)
Thanks for the HRV cleaning demo. I have to start doing this!
Glad it was helpful!
Although I don't have hvac, only the wall ac/small it good to know smoothing in case you have it in the future.
Exactly Aaron!
Thanks for watching!
Anthony is awesome! Thank-you, Pan, for making this video.

Why did I already know that Pan's furnace would be clean before the technician told us. I have a propane heating system. What's different?
Hello. is it Vapour absorption system?
Check under the coil for dust build-up not the top. Also somebody forgot to wrap your TXV bulb.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm no HVAC specialist, so what is a TXV bulb exactly? And where is it?

You looked at the outlet side of the coils. The Inlet side would be the dirty side.

This is a good basic video. There is a lot more too it than this video explains.
