    • @RhodesRepair

      Yes always recommend. It is open return on a stand, there is no flex on return. And this is a condo above another condo, so if there was a clogged drain and water went to other unit this condo is responsible for any repairs and money loss , by insurance (and saving a law suit ) this home owner has to have a secondary pan of some sort. You don’t have to have a metal pan , you have use that tub of liquid rubber and coat that whole closet to make a pan with a wet switch any water will set it off. In a normal home it is a recommendation but in this situation it is an insurance thing.

    Often seen in office buildings with circulating water piping. Incremental units in drop ceiling can move heat to cooling tower. If heat pump can often move heat from one side of building to the other (to counter sun gain through glass windows). Very efficient. High pressure on low side is generally restriction in metering or overcharged system. I've worked on countless of these. If heat pump usualliy heat added to circulating water with electric hot water unit. These are used all over the US since the 70's. Very similar op to geothermal but different heat exchange system.

      Also had a couple of condensers that the dogs pissed on it in the same place for so long, it actually ate away the aluminum fins and into the copper and made it leak Then I had one couldn't find a leak for years, no sign of any oil anywhere, finally it had to get worse in the unit failed and I finally found it, it was a landscaping Pebble got stuck under the bottom of the condenser coil add rubbed through the tube. And there was absolutely zero oil it was completely dry And then another, an older York condenser, couldn't find it so after summer was over I closed the service valves to isolate the house from the condenser, pressurized both with nitrogen and wrote down the date the temperature and the pressure, and when I came back I found the condenser pressure had dropped. Unit was 30 years old so homeowner said just replace it. I strip the old one down and looked everywhere and found it was at the very bottom the Factory has the liquid line screw down to the bottom pan with a clamp, and the line was completely covered with sand and dirt so I couldn't see it, so after years and years to think vibrating with sand under it it's slowly rubbed it paper thin and that's where the leak was And again, completely dry and not one drop of oil around the leak So whether you're looking at the condenser or the evaporator coil you can't always expect or presume that they'll be oil with the leak. Sometimes there is sometimes there isn't

    Electrolytic corrosion is caused by dissimilar metals in the presence of a electrolyte AKA water. I would say the paint got chipped or burned during manufacturing of the condenser.

      Thats why i recommend commercial or industrial for hourly rates… you get paid pretty darn well, and depending on where, most companies ive worked for in commercial have pretty much been chill. One to three jobs for service work, big repairs typically were a days worth of work. Easy money, less havoc and rush. I ended up working with my buddy who is a contractor, and im studying for my FL AIR A license. Moved to bumfuck nowhere and i dont have many decent opportunities around. Theres some commission based companies in residential that do hourly and partial commission which is pretty good to start.
