what does the txv vs piston do? Thanks

WTF

What the fetch is that

If I might add just a little advice. I would think about replacing that txv if you get the job. You are already going to remove the refrigerant and replacing the txv in Carrier units does suck I've done quite a few but hell you're already there anyway. Great videos keep up the good work big Red!

I like the satire my dude, I am a returning tech after years of owning my own handyman business Im already an hvac fiend.😂

I have one of these at my property in upstate PA. It's on a mountain with constant wind and it gets very cold there in the winter time. It heating bill is only about $200 a month

Yeah there’s no saving that air handler. Best to quote for a new system and install new ducts/return. Poor people breathing mold everyday

Thanks for the video, really helps as a pep talk. New to hvac, fresh hvac graduate and have been hired for close to 3 months now with a great company, they will be sending me out in my own van in a few days. Nervous but excited to keep growing.

Even if it’s a popular restaurant, You should call the health department.

Narly Narly Narly... I agree worst installment ever 😢

This video looks like different quality 🤷

The only thing idle/standing pressures are good for are to tell you if there’s at least a little liquid refer in the system as if it’s less than ambient you know there’s only gas as it’s not longer at saturation temp. The other thing is using it to help diagnose noncondensables after the charge has cooled down and is stable.

The term "maintenance" is a fluid term for every company. If there is not a defined set of items that the customer wants done AND that is not communicated to the company doing the work, then whatever the company's "maintenance" items are is what is done. There are companies that ONLY change filters and that is considered maintenance. Others may add operational checks, does it come on in each mode. Others add actual measurements. While I agree that a service/diagnostic should be fairly standard, maintenance is DEFINITELY NOT standard. Many times it comes down to the amount of money a customer is willing to spend, is there a third party involved, are there expectations communicated. I work with a third party that "manages" costs for the end user. They limit the amount they pay out for maintenance and for that amount I limit my services. They knew coming into the deal what the company does for what price and they chose to accept the service to pay BUT still tell the customer that a full maintenance was done. This third party company does not pay for travel, does not care what it takes for access to equipment or care about local prices. They have a fixed amount and that is all they are willing to pay. For that they get that amount of service.

How did the restaurant stay open with that same dirty like that

whats a good way to go about learning commercial as a residential guy?

best Red in town! keep it up brother!

I know that roof top. We do the maintenance on the mall owned equipment. You should see the magnificent ductwork job that someone did on a unit for one of the food court units... On being the 4th contractor, I had a call this week that 4 other companies declines to work on because they dont work on rack systems. It had a bad compressor that ran for 4 days and grounded. Got one of their reach ins working by replacing the fans. I know racks arent simple but this is a small rack system that any refrigeration guy should be able to work on

I haven't heard anything bad about the Amana S Side Discharge.

I went to the "training" is was not that informative.

#1!!!!

Honestly at a bit of a loss as to why it took us being the fourth company to get this one right. Big shortage of guys that can troubleshoot in San Diego it seems...

This guy Hvacs

With the age i would say lost cause.

I removed the Schraders and installed Swivel Tees.. it's a lot easier.

I don't often do round duct installs but I was wondering about that. Very useful!

Trash as video

Save yourself some headaches. Invest in a porta blaster. Never have to remove a wheel again.

if you take a screw longer than the guide plug, you can sometimes screw it in through the front of the wood piece and the wood piece will push out. obviously dont use a self tapping fastener so you dont drill into the metal bit

Excellent video !! Shitty location !!! What brand of digital torque wrench 🔧 do you endorse ??? NAVAC, HILMOR, Yellow jacket or CPS BLACK MAX ???

Labor Warranty expired, possibly manufacturers as well if ECM blower will fail 😊

What? Was that shot with a Nokia?🤣

Thanks for trying guys. You’ll see the video and see what we saw.

Watch out for rattlesnakes!

Nice gotta love the oblivious customers till they have a problem with the unit,money in the bank

Additional information to my previous comments the walk in freezer equipment was definitely a top notch install probably 5-6 years old at the time I worked on it not a very long piping run operating pressures coming out of defrost were 25 suction 250 head pressure would run 15 pound suction pressure and the leak was a tiny pin hole.

A few years back I was picking up a refrigerant leak in an evaporator coil of a frozen food box with A D-tek select Leak detector my boss had me put the same product you displayed it sort of slowed down the leak from “5” pounds a week to “2-3” pounds per week. After a month of weekly visits, the customer was a beer distributor that kept bagged ice in this fzr. I was able to go back and extensively leak check found a pinhole leak on a U bend the ez seal didn’t fully work I pumped the system down sanded the leak area carefully rebrazed the joint with silphos 15 no more refrigerant added. So not really impressed with the product.

Poor video

What happened to that poor lady is exactly the reason why I started doing my own HVAC for my property. Some HVAC scammer tried to tell me he couldn't work on my heat pump and needed to charge me $600 to rotate the outdoor unit 90 degrees in order to access the service panel. Never mind the fact that it had been serviced with no issue for over a decade. Ever since investing the thousands in tools and education (and EPA cert of course) I haven't looked back. There are of course good companies and honest techs out there, but the scammers make HVAC techs out to be just about as bad as a used car salesman.

Damn shame. Good on ya.. 🤙

That thing is spotless compared to the units I've serviced

Job well done guys. You just gained a loyal customer for life.

God bless you guys. Good job.

Good job guys! Not too many people take to the time to strip down and deep clean a mini-split. For units that require a little more pressure to get clean, i recommend picking up a turbo tank from nu-calgon, they are really ideal for cleaning mini splits like this. They got just the right amount of pressure and a 90 degree tip that can really get under the coil. I think the new ones can run on most drill batteries plus it would also be great for getting the sand off your feet after an early morning paddle out!

I used to pull mini splits apart but I think they get just as clean with the bib kit and HVAC power washer. My opinion. It was nice of you to not charge her. Customer for life ❤

And in the end, everybody made out well. Especially Reina😊😊

hah, this is not professional at all. Much less professional than DIY videos I've seen. Terrible.

Love the channel, laid back, go getters. 🎉

The white 🧤guys

Outstanding, Guys!

Auto trim tools will help with prying and disassembly. They work great on removing hoses.
