Here are links to the tools I use, And it costs you nothing extra to buy from this list:

That's one way to keep grass clippings out of the coil.

[bobboscarato]

Curtis you need a magnetic dish to hold the screws!

[tonyhobbs]

I feel for you, brother. A reversing valve is hard enough. But up there is extra difficult. I’d consider a scaffold to work off of. Whatever you choose to do, stay safe!

[jkmarshall]

Can you imagine trying to swap out a compressor on those units up on that crazy sky rack? Are they up there for theft prevention?

[stevencossaboon]

Nice work Curtis. Price in a small snorkel lift. They are much safer to work with instead of ladders.

[davidnull]

We have a light commercial location something like this. The only differences are the location has a caged access ladder that leads to a 6" wide walkway around the raised condensers on all sides; there are safety rails around the whole thing; and there are tie-off for your fall protect harness to connect to. There's also a frost-free water spigot up top and an electric outlet; the disconnect boxes are also up top. Other than these things the installations are almost identical. I'm sorry for you HVAC guy, just walk away.

I would grab a magnetic parts tray from harbor freight to hold those screws. Will be the best $4.00 well spent.

[pilotboba]

You need a scaffold for those types of things. They can be assembled an broken down. I think many painters have them.

[gohoyt]

You seriously need to get a magnetic dish/ tray, harbor freight for cheap. I use mine every day, no more lost or dropped screws.

[jthonn]

Two units in the air, looks like fun.

[hartsfire]

rent a man lift and charge it to them for your safety.

Next time bring that magnetic umbrella up there and your bloody fan might as well be comfortable or as comfortable as you can get. Something I might recommend also is some of those straps at harbor freight and you can strap your ladder right to that rack and gives you a bit more comfort. Have a good day Curtis

I've seen that one time in central Florida. Forty feet from the house and eight feet in the air on a platform. I can't imagine the desire to do something like that. Had to slide the new condenser up an extension ladder.

[GoomyB]

I work in a town right next to a lake in south louisiana. This is very common for houses right next to the lake because it tends to flood every few years. It's a pain in the ass.

[davidgentz]

We all put our tool bag on top of the unit and sometimes and Things fall through the slats they have a long hanging out of stick it's no big deal

[raygunsforronnie]

Well... this calls for scaffolding or a terrain-suitable aerial work platform. Have the rental company delivery, set up, and remove it all. It becomes a line item on the customer estimate. If they don't want to pay, move on. Your health, family, and business should not be put at risk because a client doesn't think your safety is worth it.

[michaelhouser]

I have been in this trade for over 4 decades. One look at how these were installed i would have walked (ran) away. Now i will watch how you handel this call!

[OnusBones]

My balance is too poor for that sort of work, so it looks like a real nightmare to me.
If you attach a Railer MagMat or MagMat Mini to your bag, you'll have a place for loose screws.

[FredD]

Not a good set up for those condensers I really hope you’re charging extra for having to work on the elevated platform if they were going to set it up like that they should’ve had it so you could walk around up there. Stay safe. Curtis looks like he got it handled.

[richardmercado]

Sir, you are the most direct service person I have ever watched! I even learned enough to get me in trouble but atleast have a good idea what a problem might be on my equipment. For the life of me though...as i was watching the video, 4265 other people viewed it.Why only 746 "likes"? Come on people...just hit the button before you leave!!!!
