Registrace 6. 05. 2022
HVAC technician in NC. Just decided to post some HVAC videos to try and help new techs, as the older experienced techs like myself, are getting closer to being out of the field and no longer being a phone call away. Now we will be a video away. “We will never know everything, but maybe what we do know will help.”
Both A/C units stop cooling for the holiday.

Wish you well
I’ve been experiencing issues with my HVAC filters bending and creating air gaps, allowing dust into the house. I've already tried switching back to more restrictive filters, but the problem persists. Could a dirty blower be causing increased suction or airflow issues, making my filters bend? Would cleaning the blower help resolve this?
Nothing like that H-10
Did you really say "maybe a little refrigerant"??? My guy. Blowing lines ain't no de mitimus release....
That’s a ridiculously low amount of cfm. I’d like to see them add reheat into systems for that
Push comes to shove you can always put a spade bit or a spring bit on a snake and it will also remove it when the air line doesn't do it...
i'm with you brother, Its been me in the dog all week. Sore throat on Saturday hit hard on Labor Day, test positive Tuesday AM. I still tested positive yesterday. I will probably go back on monday, they won't let me back till I have a negative test.
Thank you! Anytime I get a call for one of these, it's 11pm. I'm worn out and no help is available. I like your channel the most because you actually do and explain more complex issues.
No clamps connected And you know that. And sounds like a compressor is running backwards
Hope you get better soon
You needed to get a sludge hammer and beat the RV a little bit more 😂 amp draws are good discharge temp is hot sounds like they installed the RV didn’t protect the valve and fucked it up good job bro those ones are tough
Why would you have your dog around you when you have Covid.
Look at the swamp against the foundation
Do your homework Labor Day is a communist holiday adopted by Democrats for our country. Learned that in high school.
assuming this is in cool mode?
Would have saved the water for the Off Grid Battery Bank too!
Get yourself a sharpie. Start writing the date and what you do on each unit. Use shorthand if you need to. It makes it nice to pull off the cover and see what’s been done in the past. Also write a baseline for all your numbers, capacitance, pressures, temperature, etc. if I didn’t put your system in, I’m not going out after hours, on the weekend and especially not on a holiday. Get the jackleg who put it in to come out.
It's on the manufacturer that they don't color code things properly! The fact that you were honest and came out to double check says VOLUMES! Good to know there are honest techs, and honest companies, out there willing to eat the crow! 👍 👍
Good ole basic units
Amrad and Mars is where its at those cheap Mexico, Korean, Chinese caps suck and cant handle heat for a year.
My Jard capacitors last about four years max. I install Mars premium or Amrad.
I would lose cooling because my coils were dirty.4 hours then it stops being cool...my filter is 22 x 22...i needed a 24x24 ..all the hairs was getting into the coils.Cleaned that..Cooling restored.
I never agreed with the name Run Cap Bandit. It doesn't really mean what it's supposed to mean. Even so, our friend in the other Carolina uses it for the ones who mount it in the box with no bracket. That's not you. And your technique is perfectly fine in any professor's book.
I suspect the home took a power surge or a power sag.
You do not need the low loss fittings,if you have good seals on the proves,and I would not use one on the low side.2 cents.
Thanks enjoy your weekend and holiday thanks for your service to our great country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Same to you!
Right now I’m without my AC until Tuesday. Lennox system with a leaking coil-again (second replacement since 2020). Last year it was the compressor. I have one more year left on the warranty.
Not just Lennox. they all have coil issues these days. Hope it all works out.
That sucks, sorry to hear that.
Get it replaced under warranty
Check your evaporator coils..could be full of hairs
Lennox used to patch up systems long ago. I switched brands way back then!
Goodman....Model T of a/c. They are easy too. Duck tape and bailing wire. 🎉
Very true!
I have those same gauges. Mine leaked right out of the box and I send them to the manufacturer and they sent them back still leaking. Now I never trust my vacuum.
Like others have said, get the appion core depressors. Worth the money.
I just had an Oxbox heat pump installed. My thermostat has 6 wires but the oxbox has 4 wires. How do i wire my existing 6 wires to the new heat pump? I have an electric air handler for emergency heat.
thank you. sincerly supper rookie
bob smith CA glue....problem solved.
Is not better to replace it? or is more profitable to repair it?
Very good job bro. God bless u
U ain't put the clamps on it's a bad capacitor
Did he say to blow refrigerant to clear a drain? Are you kidding me? Let's just use some R600 why don't we, and use your torch to look up the pipe to make sure you got the clog clear.
We all make mistakes but it’s what you do to make it right. And we learn from our mistakes.
I don't know if it makes a difference but I noticed on the first video you installed the pressure probes and then you turned them on. I thought you were supposed to turn them on and then attach the probe to the port. Good videos, keep them coming.
those look like C&D core depressors
They are.
happens to the best of us, good catch though. lucky the customer let you re check. Crappy cheap POS. low loss fitting. I have good luck with yellow jacket ones. Go yellow.
Ok, again, the more I think about it, I believe somebody added Freon after you checked it. Either the customer didn’t know they did, or he didn’t want to tell you he had someone else out there I guarantee
the delta was 23 deg.

Brother we’ve all been there and done that. I’m wondering about your low loss fittings however I use them all the time I’ve never had any problems is it possible you just didn’t have them screwed on tight enough?. I’ve caught myself being cautious about over tightening them. I DO wonder however if someone did add Freon over the weekend. I’ve had weired stuff happen like that.
On digital s ,you try to 0 out before installing,or they might be out of calibration.
No matter of what you are one of the honest and top technician
I use the same CPS fittings w/ out realizing any issues. Next time I get jacked up readings I’ll be sure to remove and check readings without the CPS. Nice heads up. Thanks!
I would not have charged him anything for the second call. And I would have replaced the contactor for free as a gesture of goodwill.
I Did not charge for the return trip.
Always turn on proves on 0 out ,then connect.2 cents.
My question is: what recourse does the owner have with the large national company trying to take advantage of him? How in the world can they get away with this kind of business practices?
He can complain to them, but not much else. Maybe ask for a refund on their service.
@@myHVAClife Or sue for fraud.
It sucks when they charge in many cases insane prices for those tools, and they screw up that bad.
Something was off, you had a good delta.
