Subcooling - What It Is And How To Check It

In this subcooling video, we will be explaining one part of the superheat and subcooling educational program.
We will be dropping another video on superheat so that you will have superheat and subcooling explained.
Subcooling and superheat follow the same basic formula as you will find out through this video, and other hvacr videos we release.
Maybe you were wondering how to check subcooling at your HVAC school, or are just a curious person wondering about the subcooling method.
Whatever is the reason, learning the superheat and subcooling formula will definitely be beneficial for you in troubleshooting your AC system.
To know what is superheat and subcooling will put you into a different category, whether you are a homeowner, DIYer or future HVAC technician.
Subcooling and superheating the refrigerant in your AC system (whether it's r410a superheat and subcooling, or r22), will be critical as you navigate how to charge r410a by subcooling (and only do so if you are properly qualified and credentialed), as gas is NOTHING to mess around with.
If your system has low subcooling, the system may be low on freon. We go into more detail on freon in your AC system in our other hvacr videos.
