Wow ! Checking right now … first time in my life.. and I am 60 years old. It is showing 72….Can’t wait to check for my all friends … I feel special! Thank You.
Thank you so much for sharing and with that, helping to save some money. Mine is reading 65 PSI, so per your instructions, I am right where I am supposed to be. Last year, it had, apparently, a leak, the A/C repair technician quoted me in the thousands for repairs. I followed videos like yours, and did the repairs, including refilling. Per this reading, it looks like the leak was successfully repaired.

I was a bit confused by the temperature part. But realize now you read the psi which is the same for a c or f meter, when you look down and see different refrigerant types in the gauge, that is the temperature that the low side line will fall to with that amount of psi. So you want it above 0 c so it doesn't freeze.
I am happy you made this video and I appreciate it! I subscribed to your channel and gave you a thumbs up 👍 By the way your HVAC gauges is out of stock. Will you have more soon? Keep it posted thanks!
Yes THANK YOU!!! All these videos spew out all this stuff that means nothing to someone that can’t afford what these a/c companies charge. You have to ask how they can afford to give you a FREE furnace?????
Hi, I want to buy this guage. When I clicked it from your description notes, it took me to Amazon, but Amazon says unavailable right now. Do you where else I can buy this gauge? Thank you.
Awesome video, clear and to the point....but how about 410 refrigerant? Does everything you mentioned in this video apply to 410 too, or the reading is different from 22?
on the side of the unit. there will be a high and a low pressure in numbers. keep an eye on those guages, so that the high pressure will get to its mark. after that , twist the knob to the off position. then reverse the hook up. and enjoy the cool air. but if you believe that the system has a leak ( a to close to bad enough to hire a tech ) , a hvac person would be a better option.

Hi, My reading shows 150 constantly and i couldn't let anything in to the aircompressor, what is the correct way to discharge everything inside the compressor before i recharge it with new r-22 gas?
You insist that the gauge pressure reading should be between 60-70 PSI. But you also indicate that the temperature should be between -1 C to 5 C. Which is the primary and which is the secondary? I have a single gauge refrigerant hose in Farenheit not Celsius. If I try to go by PSI and look for 60-70, my temperature in F is about 20 to 28 F. Which converted to Celsius will be below 0. A little more guidance will be helpful. Thanks
Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit with Google, as hard as the temperature goes this is a ballpark way to check to see if your loan refrigerant but if you want to do it the precise way you need a lot more specialized tools to do it. Temperature does affect the system a little bit but not too much
@@KingJames-dv5pjisn't that 60-70 psi? How does temperature of Celsius or Fahrenheit matter. I just watched video that low side should be about 20 psi
You follow the type of freon it says on mid bottom of Guage he says between 60-70 psi because it's you follow the r22 it's at 60 which would 1° c if you're under it freezes if over 70° it doesn't get cold enough to gas.. 2:15

@@VegasRoManiacReviews No you can't. Once the refrigerant gets to saturation pressure (once it starts to condense) the pressure will no longer rise until you grossly over fill the system. You could have 1 or 2 grams of refrigerant in there or 2 kg in there, the pressure will remain the same. The only way you can tell is remove the refrigerant and weigh it and charge back the correct amount BY WEIGHT. You could also get a fairly good estimate by using Superheat and Sub cooling measurements, but you CANNOT do it by pressure. All pressure tells us is how the system is operating ( compressor function, txv/expansion valve function or any blockage etc)
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I have not seen other videos mention you have to weigh the freon. I've heard them mention you should weigh it when you are loading it into the system..

What an info. So basically I need get the arrows to that zero degree.

Is that the same psi you shoot for with 410a
YOU THE BEST 👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️LOVE YOU❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is this for any outside temperature?
Question Does the 60 to 70 works with r134a
Thank you
Awesome video, clear and to the point....but how about 410 refrigerant? Does everything you mentioned in this video apply to 410 too, or the reading is different from 22?
For r410 you need 120-130 psi.
Would this work for 134a refridgerant
Great video
Should the pressure readings be the same for R32 units?
I am a certified
what the black word says on your gage and i was able to understand this vídeo... 😎
shows . . . not says.
Good video
Interesting, but why work in PSI?
Bravo
Excellent video but Americans uses degrees F* reading not C*
Can you make video for 410A ?
Great simple explanation!
What pressure do you use for r410a ?
on the side of the unit. there will be a high and a low pressure in numbers.
keep an eye on those guages, so that the high pressure will get to its mark. after that , twist the knob to the off position. then reverse the hook up. and enjoy the cool air.
but if you believe that the system has a leak ( a to close to bad enough to hire a tech ) , a hvac person would be a better option.
Thank you!😊
Should air con be running when refilling?
Its a must
I ❤️ it.
Thanks
Hi
At what temperature does it need to be to have the pressure to be around 60-70?
80s
@@VegasRoManiacReviewsWhat changes when it’s 100plus degrees, outside temperature? (80’s = 60-70psi) Desert Southwest local.
If u wanna recharge R410, will u Turn on ur system too
Can't do it.
Yes add while running slowly only a tiny bit at a time
Would same pressure on low pressure be same for R345gas? Thanks
No
Can I use that gauge to check my car AC?
R134a for Car AC.
What does it mean if the low side is in the green (under 0) and the high side is 25?
Completely empty? Leak?
Yeah that's a leak
If you swop the guages around the head pressure will be reduced

Hi, My reading shows 150 constantly and i couldn't let anything in to the aircompressor, what is the correct way to discharge everything inside the compressor before i recharge it with new r-22 gas?
The system has to be running (in AC mode) to do the measurement.
Don't you have purge the gauge hose before connecting it to the low pressure side? Otherwise, wouldn't it suck the air from the hose into the system?
Yes

60-70 corresponds to 34-41 degrees F (1.1 to 5 degrees C). That is straight from an R22 chart.
The temperature is different for every refrigerant. Your gauge is evidently not for R22.
my gauges are in Fahrenheit, where should my readings be in hot Houston weather?

This is for R22. He is spot on. 60-70 psi on your gauges puts you 34-41 degrees F. You won't freeze at that point.

Checking the charge is cheap paying for r 22 refridgerant is expensive
Gauges no way can tell you if correct amount of refridgerent. Many things can effect the pressure. you read.
You cannot check level by pressure
