    Teslong has just blown up in HVAC. I was the first ever to use one at my job, then my boss had all the other techs get one. Then I changed jobs and all the techs there were using them to!

    Thanks Craig! Coil manufacturers should be required to install a clear window or two piece panel so the top can be easily removed for inspection. My 2 cents...

    Not necessary unless it’s a gas furnace or you have no possible way to access it. Most coils have panels on them that you can take off and access the fins , there’s coils that are easily accessible and even if you have a furnace or air handler you can slide the coil out slightly on some units and get a opening to cleaning it. Always use a shop vac on the drain line while doing it

    just replace the coil and add large filtering. (replace it all?) if small home and penny pinching, I would clean on spot. pretty much nobody will do that, because it will take hours to tear down/rig/clean and no guarantees of nothing else being bad and causing full replacement of equipment anyway! yeah, it sucks but in reality, just replace it all upfront and point to it's warranty (while looking dumb). warranties are an failed pyramid scheme from many years ago.(welcome to the earth, the failed pyramid scheme planet). yep
