Hey guys, forgive me for not being able to find the answers myself…
Anyone got a link to a thread I can find on pre-softwash protection? I’m looking for a general rundown and most notably wondering how y’all protect AC UNITS. (I’m taping/bagging lights, outlets, internet, breakers)
The few washes I’ve had I just have the customer turn ac unit off while I avoid them, but looking for what works for y’all? Do you cover them? Avoid softwash and rinse after?
I believe protecting the house is time and money well spent, but I’d also hate to waste time going overboard.
I also plan on talking to my local home inspection pal to give me a run down on electrical safety and risk management. But then again, he’s not hosing down houses with chems on a daily basis.
Ahh makes sense, I just don’t really know much about how those condensers work. I’m insured but just making sure I don’t go shorting stuff out. Thanks!
Last summer I had a fuse box, or AC Disconnect box, Pop then smoking after I rinsed the siding. Had the customer turn off the breaker. I opened the box, found that the electrician had wrapped a loop of wire around inside the box, touching it, and over the years it had rubbed the insulation off the hot wire. Add water = the Pop and smoke. I installed a new box for him and he was happy. Cover them up, it’s easier.
