My name's, I should Burt, I show up. What's gon na, be a pretty typical service, calls a/c units, but not heat when it's set for cool. Oh no it'll have the thermostat set up for a heat pump, so it's calling cool, but it's not engaging a reversing valve and cooling, so we got heat coming in so yeah. Let's check this out, I look a little closer find out.

This call is actually really special 1989. You know, you know. What's special about 1989, I was born in 1989. I mean this unit, we're like I don't know.

I mean it's a little intimidating to think that this unit was going in when I was taking. My first breath, but I'm definitely gon na outlive this guy from the sound of things I mean as good as I am as a technician, there's only so much you can do right. Yeah, let's see how this guy's age compares where we got here for 19. 1990.

Oh okay, I was a year old when this was put in. I definitely got the upper hand on this service call. You know this is probably beer can cold days. They were sitting charged with a beer.

Can back, then, no doubt in my mind, using the well hold up? What is that out of the ashes? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the original target. Super heat can used to set this systems charge nice. It works great. Do that jinsol hum of a NN.

It's a crime where we got here. What have we got here? Would you just look at that? That is one secksy contactor, oh yeah, the capacitors spot on. Obviously, Wow. Look in lovely no surprise there right, no, not really, let's find out, what's making so much noise in here now you can't turn off the blower before you open that compartment.

So you don't suck anything in or pull the insulation off the door panel, but that's really not very exciting together, yeah, that's looking like exactly why wobbling yeah that blower wheel is looking pretty bad. Okay, we've had our fun we've had our looks ease now. Let's turn it on check the refrigerant. Okay, here's all our readings in real time.

I have the field piece probes, hooked up to the measure, quick tap, it's looking pretty rough-looking loan refrigerants high superheat 2-piston system and the liquid line is really high temperature. We got to be it's in the red. We have a really clogged condenser outside. So let's see what they say about it system under charge.

Condenser may be dirty yep, that's all spot-on. Well, we need to find out where that leak is and then see about moving forward. There's no real big surprises closed rusted out and it's 30 years old, but this is the nail in the coffin right here. My birthday unit got ta, say goodbye.

I mean leaking from the evaporator coil yep, that's it buddy. That's it done so this is it guys. This is the last you're gon na see of this unit running just spoke to the owner and he rents out this property and yeah. He doesn't want to put any more money into it.

I offered doing a coil clean in place and a blower wheel, clean and removal and clean and condenser coil, clean and then add two pounds of refrigerant to his leaking system, and he said no, it's time to say goodbye and couldn't agree more. It's time. It's time to say goodbye, happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us happy birthday to burn an American Standard. Happy birthday.

Two wishes delay much much too late for this guy time's come say goodbye, but it just seems so appropriate that I'm here on its last leg, when I was there for it, it's very beginning, it's time to say goodbye, couldn't agree more guess. It wasn't there, but whatever.
