@@Davidandgoliathhvac thanks. Just clarifying

Thank you!

@@rossdtool sorry to hear that about your parents but it’s also good to get a second or third opinion on the situation if the first company says it’s going to be 20k

Yeah, the cheap Titans are ass but the Titan HD capacitors are good American made capacitors.

@@samisharif87 I agree and carry a good better best option for the customer and have them decide based on their budget

@@Davidandgoliathhvac nice, I may have to start doing that as well. Lol

@@mdterpz532 At least two this time. Always gotta watch for bees when removing covers as well

North Carolina

Thank you and almost 5 years

@@Nick2JZ you have to test with volt meter and or also open up and look inside to see if the damper actually opens and closes

Hi, so the Damper in Close position without power? And with power it Open? Thanks

The winding noise of the damper opening and closing? It does make a small noise when opening and closing but nothing alarming

I use the blue nubrite cleaner. Let is soak for a few minutes wash with water and also use a brass metal toothbrush to get rid of any extra dirt build up.

Hilmar clamp. You can get one online or hvac supply store.

Can you do accurate line set temperature for sub cooling or Super heat with just one clamp ?

Can I use one of this on my sc680 field piece meter for sub cooling or super heat, Or do I need two milmar clamps ?

@@elleondejuda4681 yes any clamp really will work and I only have one clamp for now so I have to go back and fourth to check both the subcooling and superheat. If you have two clamps you don’t have to do that.

What were the pressures? And yes the txv can fluctuate and adjust.

Thank you for subscribing and best of luck to you on your new chapter! You got this!! 🙏

Could be. Start by making sure you have high voltages at the contactor coming into the unit and see that you’re getting a call for heat by messing the 24v coil at the contactor. Use your meter and test everything out.

@@Davidandgoliathhvac Ok thanks man. But I’m not a tech. I felt like I was for 10 seconds changing out a capacitor. Lol! But can you tell me what any other simple possibilities are? Thank you in advance

@@damon323 for a hear pump not heating it could be a number of things. Is the outdoor unit running at all when you turn it on from the thermostat? Does the outdoor fan turn on and compressor? You really need a volt meter and gauges. Could be a bad capacitor if the outdoor unit isn’t turning on.

@@Davidandgoliathhvac i may have jumped the gun. I think the unit was getting to temp and was running in a brief fan mode right before it shut off. I tested it some last night and this morning and I seem to be all good. Really appreciate your replies though, thank you. Most HVAC guys on here never do.

@@damon323I hope you figure it out and yes I try to not be like the rest

My thoughts exactly? Like tf

It’s one of my favorite tools

*If it’s mounted on a wall

That’s exactly what I told the customer they should do once they replace it so that it doesn’t happen again.

You sure could but this unit holds about 8 pounds so it wasn’t something I recommended to the customer.

@@Davidandgoliathhvac I was joking.

Replace the coil or the dog? 😂

If your gauges are showing equal pressures then there’s something going on with the compressor. Either it’s not running or it’s on its way out. Check capacitor for the compressor, check high voltages to compressor and also check the terminals at the compressor to make sure they are not grounded (make sure power is off when you do this).

@@Davidandgoliathhvac man I appreciate the swift response. Thank you. Capacitor tested good, I added a hard start to it but same symptoms. I will test ground short for compressor today. One thing though, instead of a plug this compressor has just wiring wrapped around the c/r/s contacts.

@@The1realroYes the older type compressors aren’t plugged in so take a picture of the terminal and you’ll have to remove the individual r,s,c and then test. But if you’re getting equal pressure readings could be the valves in the compressor are going bad. Since it’s an r22 system I wouldn’t recommend to customer they need to consider getting a new system.

@@Davidandgoliathhvacyup, you are spot on with everything. The system is in horrible shape. Property owners are trying to convert every system that has these significant issues to r410a systems. I’m a one man crew so Im looking forward to multiple condenser swaps in the near future. Anything specific I should note? I know the procedure and steps for a condenser swap but wondering about two things… 1. indoor unit compatibility(mostly pistons). 2. wondering how important it is to get those line sets cleaned properly because of the change in refrigerant. Or is a new line set always warranted? I appreciate all of your help. I’m an entry level tech in South Carolina with some experience but not used to being solo. Sometimes it feels like everything can be wrong wrong with a system.

@@The1realro For this system is it a straight AC with gas furnace? If so, then yes you can swap out the outdoor condenser unit with new line set and indoor coil. If it’s a heat pump they really need a whole new system. I wouldn’t patch together a swap unless the system was already 410a. And if the line set would be a pain to replace they do sell cleaning kits at the supply stores where you can spray each line with the kit + nitrogen and it’s suppose to work well. You can also pull a triple vac on the line set before you release any refrigerant. And I’m in NC man. A one man army too.. keep it up.
