If one has an outside unit at home, clean the condenser as well for better performance.
Nice video as always Tim.

This makes sense. If you lower the heat you lower the pressure as well. I still need to run the AC on a similarly hot day to see what the AC temp is really doing after the cleaning. Since the condenser had a bunch of water on it after I rinsed it off, that water evaporating off had to be helping the cooling efficiency of the condenser.
Next video will be tackling an AC recharge. I think my rig is a little undercharged right now. Got all the necessary tools either at my place or on order.
