    Great video. Refrigerant is Not Cheap so Why wouldn’t the Customer want to Fix it ? Several years ago they replaced my Coil with Stainless and Fixed the Issue. 👍🙏

      @PipeDoctor  Рік тому

      Thank you for watching and for your comment! You're absolutely right, refrigerant can be quite expensive, which is why it's important for customers to consider fixing the issue instead of just adding more refrigerant. It's great to hear that they were able to fix the issue by replacing your coil with stainless steel!

    HI Mike! I did not see the link for the PDF attached. Can you please add it to the comments. I've let clients know in person and in writing those exact points and have had a couple sour one call me back a few months later demanding a refund and that I return for free to add more refrigerant and I laugh but it looks like a really good practice as a deterrent those issues happening again. At what point in the service call do you make them sign that?

  • @ares3914
    @ares3914 Рік тому +1

    Dye affects refrigerant pressures and changes the temperature of when it changes state. I never use dye for this reason. Dye are for people who are to lazy to look for leaks. What you did was contaminated the poor guys refrigerant system and now that system will never run efficiently. Also charging a system by standing pressures is very suspect that isnt the correct way to charge a system. If this was the case then you can go to every refrigerant system and say its low on charge.
    In residential you should charge by subcool of the condenser data plate and superheat between 4-24 °f when checking outside. But not charging by superheat nor subcool means you over charged the unit and your covering up by not showing the superheat nor the subcool or you jist dont know what your doing.

    • @natepeterson7145
      @natepeterson7145 Рік тому +2

      That amount of dye won't affect the pressures enough to make a difference. If you didn't hear what he said is that he couldn't find the leak in the accessible places. Plus you have no idea what him and the homeowner discussed as far as what's entailed and how much it's going to cost. The company I worked for charges a lot for a leak search and adding dye is more economical than searching for a leak that may only be detectable under certain conditions. I'm not a big fan of Mikey pipes but I can say he's more ethical than many other companies out there. He's teaching a lot of younger people to get interested in the trade.

      @PipeDoctor  Рік тому

      Profanity can be like a spice in your videos - a little can add some flavor, but too much can ruin the whole dish. So, use it wisely and sparingly, my friend. Remember, it's all about finding the right balance and making sure your content still shines through without relying solely on profanity.

Cut back on the drinking but still enjoy my bourbon and smoke good weed. Guaranteed gut will drop off
