Great job... better you than me. I have a side job as CLEAN UP for an HVAC company. They replace entire units & leave the old in a pile for me. I SCRAP those alum./copper coils. Gotta sawzall the steel ends off first so it goes from $.92cents/lb. to $1.92/lb. Made $400 my last trip.. I had a few units.
I got a chance to add liquid line ports on a new YORK with a micro-channel condenser and measured a 30 psi drop across the condenser. I have read that this normal and can be as high as 35 psi. Measuring the actual liquid line pressure, the subcooling was right with the factory charge. It sucks because they only give you discharge ports so the only way to truly check charge is to weigh out and in, a time consuming process. Can't even look at CTOA either because you don't know how much pressure drop there is across the coil. They want you to measure the air temp blowing off the coil, that's BS science because that air is not well mixed and there are hot and cold spots in that air. So a high subcooling reading is normal on micro-channel condenser coils when measured from the discharge port.
May I ask how much the customer paid for this? just getting this done for a customer and I feel like we’re charging way too much. Hoping to compare to help gauge
I can’t exactly remember on this one. This one would have been a little cheaper anyone because this commercial contract customer gets a special rate from us. But a ball park would be around $5k.
York the gift that keeps on giving. Nice job 👍
That rope scene reminded me of that old Clint Eastwood movie , Hang em High Good job & good vid ... Thx
🤣
Good job Jeff seems like things went fairly smooth enjoyed the video
Sure did. Thanks

Nice little pay day.
Great video. Good job and nice work. Thank you for sharing
Micro channel coils are the worst…they always leak only a matter of time. Nice work brotha!
Right you are. Appreciate it.
Just curious, do you use the reclaimed free on that you removed from the unit? If not, why
It depends but you can sometimes. “Free on” Freon
If it was a brand new recover cylinder I may have considered it, but it had other older 410a in it from other jobs.
Nice work, what’s the tonnage on something like that?
Think this one was a 5 ton.
Why is there so many spots on that new coil that looked damaged?
Because York sucks! It came out of the crate like that.
can you really put that much nitrogen for pressure test? even though the evap might only take maybe 150psig,
410a evaps are usually rated to over 500 psi.
