      @@emmanuelalvarez4204 I believe he is referring to the two water diverting brackets he forgot to switch.
      Looking at the front side of the coil there is a water diverter fastened to the coils left side tube sheet by three screws. It needs to be removed and reinstalled on the coils right side tube sheet. Make sure it is reinstalled into the upper most hole of the coils right tube sheet and then the other two screws will line up. Now flip the coil around to the back side and remove the diverter bracket located on the right side coil tube sheet. Remove it and reinstall it to the left back side tube sheet of the coil. The second hole of the water diverter needs to line up with the first hole in the coils tube sheet. If the other two screws line up with holes in tube sheet you got it installed correctly. Slide the coil back in place and button her up exactly like Zack showed us in this FINE video. I'm visually assuming this is a 3 or 4 ton. Hope this is helpful sir.

      Word of mouth referrals are the best method to obtain new customers. Some companies treat their customers as if they can't talk to everyone they know. I have seen word of mouth about a shoddy installer put him out of business. My company never had to even advertise. Our two co-owners set out from the start to treat customers right. These customers then did all the advertising. We always had more work than we could do.

      I agree, although the duct should fully pressurize eventually if sized and endcapped correctly, rule of thumb is within the 1st 3 to 4 feet of air leaving the fan coil, heater, or whatever you have, don't have any takeoffs within that distance. If you have no choice, install a scoop to help. The installation looks clean though, makes a big difference.

So if it is being used the customer will see the water dripping on the window and know the pan has water in it. My current employer HATES safety switches because if it is activated it puts you on a very short timeline to get out to the customers house and get the problem addressed as the unit will not operate until it is. Conversely, if you run a secondary drain line over a window the unit will continue to work until you can get out to fix it, all while avoiding having to play musical customers and putting multiple people out for a single issue.

    • @dgapp76
      @dgapp76 2 роки тому +2

      @@lowe_30 splash guards are usually installed on box coils and sometimes slab coils. Since the evap coil is on the other side of the blower away from the supply plenum, it's unlikely you would have water splashing over into the supply plenum. Sometimes clogged or improperly installed drain lines or traps can cause water to overflow into the cabinet of the air handler and make its way into the supply or return plenums. A good drain switch like an SS2 or SS1 helps prevent that.

Sometimes the slim is hard to clean out . Nice that the industry is making good secondary drain pan's . Good install with room .

Also if speed is not adjusted it tends to suck water off the coil depending on static pressure or how clean the coil is.

    Installing HVAC in an uninsulated attic is a BAD IDEA and needs to be discontinued. Studies show that it adds about 35% to energy costs. In areas with a lot of snow, it causes melting, shortening the life of shingles, and ice damming, leading to leaks. It needs to be brought inside the thermal envelope, or the thermal envelop needs to expanded to include the ducts and air handler.
