    I swear this guy is just the best I could watch his videos for hours and hours he has so much knowledge to share I wanna try to absorb every bit of it. Thank you so much Jim.

      Perfect demonstration of why a home inspection is as valuable as Enron stock...no substance if a inspector doesn’t know the basics of what the equipment is how can they know if it’s working correctly if at all! Just assign it a random name and act as if your an expert in its fictional operation...FAIL!

    Very concisely laid out so its easy to understand like that he simplified the verbiage so you get the basic understanding of the flow before the deep dive into the internal mechanics just started the course for HVAC on the learning portal and these vids are awesome help for a person like me with little experience but great desire to learn

    Great video. Not a big deal, but the warm air passing over the coils doesn’t absorb the cold, but it’s the opposite. The cold refrigerant in the coils absorbs heat from the air passing over the coils. Thermodynamics.

      He's a home inspector, not an hvac technician. Home inspectors don't test all the items you've listed and they aren't required to. You are more than free to hire an hvac tech if you want to and don't mind spending the extra money.

      They paid for a visual function/safety inspection of the entire house not a thorough HVAV inspection. He's actually going beyond the SOP on a couple of items so they are getting more than their money's worth.

    The guy that did yearly service on my AC poked a temperature probe in the ductwork above the air handler to check the temperature difference. Seemed like a good idea - but he never attempted to cover the hole so I just put a little duct tape over it.

    That's NOT a muffler outside by the condenser it's a liquid line dryer which is designed to absorb non-
    condensable's in the refrigerant.

    Dryer filter, 18 to 20゚ split, This guy said multiple things incorrectly Not a very good Inspection didn't check the freon level didn't check the Coil if it's Dusy or clogged. Didn't open the panels and check the wire connections didn't check the capacitor Wire breaker terminals. Drain line could be partially Clogged.

    Hire an HVQC professional. Not a clown like this guy. Home inspectors are the mall cops of the real estate industry

    • @internachi
      @internachi  3 роки тому +7

      I disagree, Toros. It's expensive and impractical to hire a professional for each system of a house. It's best to hire a home inspector who can inspect all of the systems of a house in about 3 hours with an inspection report produced. I don't understand the comment about mall cops.

    • @theholisticmachine1493
      @theholisticmachine1493 10 місяців тому

      Alot of us inspectors have an extensive background in electrical, HVAC, and building ....so paying 500 bucks to have a trained set of eyes is logical, and a specialist can be called in if a major issues is found. Not all issues warrant a call to a single profession.
