Is condensing coil in duct work for air handler a DIY project

Posted by Lawrence M. Seldin, CMC, CPC on April 11, 2007, 7:57 pm

I had a private repairman come over to fix the leak I have in my heating coil.
He said that he does
not do this work. I had previouslly asked if the heating coil replacement was a
DIY project. You
guys told me no.

New question. This new guy said that the problem is a "condensing coil in duct
work for air-handler"
for 1 of my zones. Is this a DIY project? He suggests a HVAC guy.

If it is not a DIY I will look for an HVAC guy.

What do you think?

Thanks much,

It's not a DIY, it requires specialized equipment

It is not a DIY, you need equipment and in most cases a license.

Unless, you have a leak of _water_ condensing on the coil, and not
being allowed
into the drain line. Like, from a clogged line, which could be dealt
with using a wet/dry
ShopVac. Just suck out the clot.

Leak of refrigerant would leave a residue of refrigerant-oil, but
neither refrigerant or water.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.
