Hey guys. I posted a thread a week ago called "help duct work is sweating/finished basement". Few good pointers in there that helped me alleviate my issue slightly. I've opened all ducts in basement and seemed to help and only sweats near/on handler and on duct near handler supply but only on fire up. So today I pulled off the outside condenser unit's covers and found the coils all way around, completely caked with dust and dirt from outside elements. See pics! I vacuumed and brushed them off with a coil brush. I also noticed some sweating on a hard pipe that is between the condenser and the round filter can thing and some on the can itself. It's not frosted like a refrigerant leak, it just looks like water. Is that normal? Could the dirty coils played a role in the previous issue I mentioned of my basement ducts sweating a little and/or the water on the hard pipe at the condenser?
