- Goodman Split System has some Minor and Major Issues that were found. Got the unit back running so they could atleast have some AC but they no longer can use the heat strips because they have a Major electrical issue.

Good diagnosing the isse AB.
I love watching you trying to apply the knowledge youve learned into all the actual real world situations. As a new tech it seems like nothing is ever as clear as they teach it or you read.
MAN WHAT?! School did not "prepare me" like they thought it did. All it gave me was a concrete pad as a foundation with no floor plans 🙃🤣
@AB_HVAC 100% man. Ya never learn till ya get out there. You go through the systems properly to diagnose the issues and explain your thought process well. The tricky issues you come across are usually the ones that get me too 🤣
@oilandfireguy1739 glad to know I'm not the only one
@AB_HVAC definitely not! I learn a lot from watching you make it thru those calls!
Good job Austin. You are developing judgement.
LMAO. That coil cover screams "welcome to the south"! Good vid, man.
Thank you 🙏🏽 I wanna know If they'll put the filter grille back
Exactly how I would have handled the panel. Nice
I just made sure I didn't see any ridiculous wiring exposed. Everything seemed either wired up or safely covered
Nice job on the approach when you get to the job. The walk around visual goes along way before bringing all the tools out. Great catch on the heaters and power wires. I always checked that heater, wires and feed breaker with new customers.. Caught this issue all the time. Heaters are usually dual KW, in other words 10K or 8k depending on the voltage feeding the AHU or Heater Block if seperate. 10k needs 6 gauge, so best to have 6 guage if using 8 or 10 kw. Always look at the nameplate of the heater. Wire and breaker sizes are important. Nameplate will give you breaker sizes or MOP(Maximum Overcurrent Protection) Whoever was there before did the right thing and pulled half the heat off. With the black and white wire you showed, looks like there was a 120v system in there or gas furnace. looked like 12 gauge. Enjoyed the vid.
Thanks man for the detailed comment. During Winter time I'm normally better about that stuff, I was running on fumes yesterday
Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks for taking the time to watch it!!
@@AB_HVAC you’re welcome! Love the video that you have been contributing for people!
Nice job.... 🙂
Thanks.....🫠
First time for me seeing Circle K batteries!! Are they trying to compete with 7-Eleven brand ?? 😂😂
Man, circle k almost a one stop shop 🤣 they got some pliers in there if you need em too and gloves
@@AB_HVAC it's the private label that surprised me. I don't guess they sell bandaids and ibuprofen under circle k name, but maybe they do?
@Mo4Honesty I've seen badaids but not ibuprofen
What's good bro new subscriber here peace and love. Keep doing what you doing bro. I'm gonna look into getting a new system soon possibly finance a new system
THANKS FOR THE SUB!! The sooner the better on that changeout man. Get a trusted company/contractor in your area
@@AB_HVAC true indeed definitely
You should have cut the other breakers off first. You assumed liability for all of the other circuits being good.
8 ga wire is good for 40 amps. The breaker will also need to be changed to a max 40a breaker in this case and only 5kw strips can be used.
10kw (9.6kw actual) heat strips will pull 44 amps at 220V Than add a few amps for the fan. The minimum required wire size will be #6. In some jurisdictions the code requires the use of the 60degC rating which would require a #4 wire.
It's a good thing I mentioned my mess ups at the end
The disconnect is to low to the ground. Be well.
The owner trying to hide the line set in downspout gutter components so the copper doesn't get stolen. LOL!
🤣🤣 it's out there in the hood it might get swiped
The two probe on the ceiling to measure what? And why we use that method? Thank you so much
1 probe I had in the vent, the other I had reading room temperature.
@@AB_HVAC the supply vent ? Then we use that two reading number to find the Delta T (18-21 F degrees) right?
Why couldn't you just disconnect the heat strip power wires in the AHU instead of all the control wires? Then theres no chance for the strips to run no matter how crazy the situation or how many buttons they press.
That's just it, I don't want them to for any reason because I don't think even just 5k strips can be handled on that 14/2 romex especially with blower motor running. So I made sure the heat pump couldn't activate defrost and the thermostat wouldn't turn on auxiliary heat.
The plug in that air handler connects the heat strip kit area to the control board. If I just unplug it, it wouldn't work at all
@@AB_HVAC the heat strip coils don't have terminals?
@Mo4Honesty well yeah those do. But I mean I'd rather disconnect the low voltage call rather than the high voltage. You take the blower panel off and just see the wires off and someone will think "well those need to be on the terminals" and then now they just place them back. But removing the W inside and out may get the gears turning in someone's head.
Either way works thou
@@AB_HVACyou cap them with wire nutts
Yall disconnect high voltage, I disconnect the low volt, either way it can't work and that's the point
Great video! How do you know if the unit needs a ptrap?
Drain is on the return side
Negative pressurized drains (blower after evap coil) need traps
You guys call the A/H furnace in Georgia?
I do it on accident from time to time but yeah it's very common
Off subject but bro in your into video I see you brazing while not moving back the armor flex, why that just makes a nasty smells and it looks like shit but that my only issue I have seen from you 😂 sorry man
Smells good to me
