if its working ok...just clean the evap with toothbrush or with water spray bottle and blower nicely ..clean filters and install..

dont get them removed if its working ok and dont need any rrepair or gas charge..

if they remobve and didnt vacuum then "jo chalraha ha us se bhi jaeinge aap and never be back "

just nicely clean where you see dirt and call it a day

[matifkhan]

Toothbrush, blower won't probably be much helpful. Similarly, hand held spary bottle too won't be enough. Its better to have pressure washer with variable pressure setting and 360 nozzle. Karcher is available from Autohub, Pakwheels and Segal Motors. If not, cannister with hand pump for pressurising the water (those used for sparying pesticides) will be a better choice. Easily available on . Just removing filters and leaving all else intact too will work. Washing bag can be purchased from aliexpress or via or can be stitched using Parachute cloth / material. Just keep the pressure mild / moderate. Last year I removed my Gree's external unti's 'gold or whatever' coating by applying water at full pressure. Here's a good demonstration.

Let's see if any local technician can perform this job in 1000/-?

[matifkhan]

Least likely. Most of the technicians are illiterate, poor and even if they are able to manage, they won't spend any amount on purchase of equipment. Further, we are allergic to hardwork and professionalism. You'll have to do it yourself.

[mgalaxy3]

Close enough.

Why not use at 26c? I'm getting 0.4 to 0.5 units per hour at 26c. Cheaper than at your 27c rate.

But yeah room size , heat sources also play a part.

[mgalaxy3]

This is a wrong poll .

Always measure power or energy usage over certain time period in kWh (units).

Amps never remain constant.

[krafiq]

Let's talk about numbers here
Karcher pressure washer? 14,000?
Bag? 5000?
Coil cleaner agent? 4500/- gallon

No one is interested in spending on infra structure. No one even has a vacuum pump for installation. It's pretty bad out there...

[waqar747]

It settles down to around 1.5 after 45-60 mins of cooling at 26'. OAT maybe around 33-34'.
Room is on ground floor with no direct sunlight.

[matifkhan]

True. The Karcher 360 degree nozzle alone is 6000. Cleaning agent is not an absolute must. Water alone at decent pressure does it but nobody is willing to spend. Though its one time investment and if they charge 2k for service, most people will be willing to pay and pay back period can be just a month BUT......

I used this thing with a tooth brush this year and results were quite good Alhumdolellah

[dms664]

For outdoor used a garden hose connected to home water motor and stopped when clean water started coming out of the outdoor.

This is jamhoriat ka husan with 3 voters and 15 votes.

[dms664]

I have karcher k3 with vario lance and dirt blaster but they cant be used on ac due to length. I need 360 short vario which is always out of stock on sites like autohub etc. Any good source from where i can source this 360 short vario nozzle at good price.

[s15]

There is no dhandli in voting and all voters are "saadiq and ameen" and voting is "shafaf".

Its "Multiple Choice" voting polls, where people can vote for their multiple preferred brands, since it was about "preferred brands" (not just one brand).

[Thinking]

i think multiple brands can be selected by the voter so that is why votes are more than users.

[matifkhan]

Yes, you need short 360 vario lance. I think I got it from AutoHub or Segal motors. These days supply chains are disrupted so I think you'll have to wait. If I see it anywhere, would let you know.
