Thanks for watching! Tools used Coil cleaner: amzn.to/3NoMzqZ Wiha multiscrewdriver: amzn.to/3JuV17c Gloves: amzn.to/3JoBG7l

35-year vet of the NYC HVAC wars here, I would recommend starting at the bottom, so you do not miss shooting the cleaner into the coil. it's too easy to miss getting the cleaner into the coil when it's covered with foam from above. very similar to washing your car I suspect, too easy to miss a spot due to soap running down over dirt. you can also use a mixed solution and a coil gun hose sprayer. they are useful for more than just cleaning HVAC units. maybe look into the "coil gun" sprayers we use on the job and some mix it yourself cleaners for your next video on the topic? thanks for another great DIY video.

You always have the most top notch DIY content.

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I’ve been struggling for months in the heat. Finally found your video and tried and IT FIXED THE ISSUE!! My AC is now cooling. Thank you again.

The detail you gave in how to do this makes it so easy to follow! Big thanks from down here in New Zealand! 🇳🇿

when you replace a screw into anything you have opened, place the screw into the hole and with the oppropriate screwdriver, first turn it anti-clockwise ( lefty-loosy ) slowly and you should either hear and/ or feel the screw click into the original starting position. this procedure is most important for plastic objects, so as to stop cross-threading. P.S. you may need to repeat this a few times, but you will get the the idea.

I love your videos. We don't have a midsplit system but these best practices are easy to utilize during other household jobs

This guy is always very helpful, helping people all over the world!

Moved into a home & had the pros come out & do a maintenance for the inside & outside units of my mini split...yep $700. Later that the fall a tiny mouse got into my outside unit & got killed by the fan trying to escape. THIS TIME I decided to get the mouse out & clean the entire outside unit myself. I disabled the power, took the top & front grill off, vacuumed & hand wiped the inside down ( took photos in case I forgot the order of putting it back together). This summer I will TRY and do the COILS ...Thanks LOVE your videos !

Yesss! The hidden screwww!!! Ive just been hangin' outside sprayin it gently for half an hour, looking like I have my reasons for peeking under the lid. Thank you, ductless split wizard.

Thank you! After your mini-split video a few years back I installed one myself. After this video, I realized that my HVAC company only cleans the main AC unit that they installed, so this was exactly what I needed to do it myself. The foam works great and it’s super easy to do.

Wow, very timely! Was just thinking I need to look in to maintenance on our mini splits and it can't possibly be complex enough to hire out. Can't wait to do this!

Fantastic! This is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you 😊

Good video, I will my clean split unit today..Video was of good quality,short and to the point..Thank you..😊

Very helpful going to do this at the start of each season.

That was a great demo... very clear instructions and easy to follow. 😁

Can you do a video on how to clean the inside unit? From what I heard you'd have to clean it as well. Thank you.

Been doing air conditioning for a few years now and approve this message. I think the cleaner isn’t really needed. Just wash it with water from the inside out and you should be good.

Thanks for another great video and reminding me that I need to do the same.

Great job. You are brilliant at explaining how to. Thank you.😊
