Tom from Tucson just got finished with a huge grocery store coil last week and he's got it on Youtube, but he's out living it up with Jim in California this weekend so we will have to wait for his later next week.
 
I took Tony's phone course for coil and condenser cleaning.The info I received was invaluable and made the job go off without a a hitch.
The job was cleaning coils and condensers on BARD units for a satellite company at one of the remote antenna stations.There were a total of 6 unit that took just shy of 3hrs and we charged the customer $900.
You can see 2 of the units on the side of the building in the pic.

P.S. We turned this into a yearly account

Tony thank you for the crash course everything you told me and said to do made this account possible.

I DID NOT take Tony's course and look at what happened... Maybe I should take the next one. ( Hahaha, this was previous damage that was found on a customers property before we cleaned their home. Looks like someone should have taken some kind of course.)

:thumbup2: Hook a brother up and I'm there. You know that's been my biggest hurdle to overcome.
 
You going to be in Charleston Tony??
 
I will be in Charleston. I'm trying to determine which class to do. The residential coil class will go hand in hand with the product I am being sent to evaluate right now so I'm certain I will be doing that one.

I might also do an introduction to commercial work to give people an idea of what's involved and what to expect.

I can also do filter cleaning.

Do you guys have any preferences?
 
Here is a coil we cleaned that was literally blocking the airflow into a grocery store. We saved this place! We went very slowly and cautiosly and took 6 hours to do the job - $700. Realistically we could do this job in 3 hours, and $700 was a low price. These 'inside' coils are the most work (the other stuff is pure cake) but they are big bucks for the big units. Filters, coil cleaning, this work can get Hundreds of dollars an hour easy. Tony's knowledge can get you ready to do this work on your own in short order.

We didnt take Tonys class but he helped me with some a/c info a few months back. I called him on advice about cleaning some ptaks for a hotel. He walked me through the steps via the phone.

We cleaned 144 of them over a 16 hour period. Took the ptaks out and used a piece of corrplast to block the motor. Then just used a ball valve with very low psi and cleaned the coils.

Thanks for the help Tony!!! You truly know what your talking about. Wont be it Charleston but will be in Ohio, hope to see ya there.

I need to get up to Vegas for some training with Tony now that the weather is cooling down.

PM me Tony with your training prices if you like and I'll see about getting up there next month if we can coordinate our schedules.
 
Vince, the PWI price for the three day classis $2500.00 for the first student in a company $1500 for the second and $750 for each additional employee.

It covers everything you need to know to go out and start getting business AND allows you hands on work.

IF you put it in practice you can easily make the cost of the class back in a day or two of work.

I don't like doing full blown classes without at least 2-3 students because I just can't justify the cost of instruction (it takes 3 of us)

It looks like mid October might be ok. I'll never do one in July or August again as long as I live.

This was the class Tom went to:

Is that Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons playing in the background? Great video, but we might want to work on the sound track...
 
My guess is we were at 6 gpm, 1800 psi. I just turned the unloader way down and left the #10 tip in. I would up the psi if I did it over, o well I'll be able to do it on the next one with my new variable wand!
 
Thats a good PSI, but that amount of water may be just a little too much at first. Tom was using a flow unloader for this job so it would have been tough to use the adjustable wand. He's got his unloaders on QC's so he can change them out as needed though. Smart.

Here is the variable wand in action. You can dial it down to about 1gpm and 100 psi then move it up to find the sweet spot. Watch the fan fill out as I turn it up. Once we've tested the integrity of the fins end we're hitting this with 3500psi and 6 gpm in this video.

I took a 2 (or was it 3, too much happened ot there) day filter/coil cleaning course with Tony last March. It led to starting a full blown residential air duct cleaning business. It gave much needed work to a family friend during the deepest point of the recession. I personally don't do ducts any more as I don't have time with washing, but the knowledge gained was worth way more than the cost of the class.
