    45# LPCO & DLT-Stat would be good.

    How's the new scale? I really want to move away from a b-tank to oxy acetylene, any advice

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dale Marr says:

    How come you didn't put the cooling hose attc.on the Comp. ?

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Watchers Of The Wood says:

    I wonder if trying to replace the oil in the compressor and doing a full flush would let it run a bit longer? The compressor replacement is almost the cost of a new unit so it may buy some time?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vincent Ramirez says:

    Dude I personally feel your the best in this field and your videos, so please ๐Ÿ™ stay strong..

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rambozo Clown says:

    Maybe cut open a filter/dryer like this to show what happens inside?

    Electrical engineer, but NOT a trained HVAC guy here, north Texas. Had my condenser fan crater on my December 2010 installed Trane 4 ยฝ ton home central AC unit (not a heat pump), and the compressor went in to overtemp shut down. I caught it within a couple of hours, and shut it down for the week it took to get a replacement fan motor (replaced it myself). The unit came back up and seems to run fine now. To the touch my dryer does not seem to have a temp drop across it, but wondering now if maybe I should have the dryer replaced just to be safe. Are you in Ottawa ?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Simr Khera says:

    Wouldn't changing the oil in the compressor help any or is it just plain shot?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pierre Soler says:

    Many HVAC in your videos got a gaz line to warn the air in the winter, is it just a backup in case it's very cold or any of them are reversible ?

    Coremax valves

    So appreciate all your videos and the work you put into making it public, thank you and keep up the great work

    How come you not clean the condenser this time?

    core max units. when iโ€™m already in refer circuit and there is room to easily do so, i take a moment to slap a set of additional service ports in and leave original core max ports in place. ever install iso valves on a line dryer for easier preventative changeout with comfort cooling Equipment? .

    I know I said this time and time again please use half the soldering youโ€™ve been using to solder those copper lines. Thereโ€™s no reason that I can see to use that much solder.

    I am a commercial HVAC company owner in the Carolinas and I can tell you this I fired all the restaurants we had we concentrate on manufacturing, and office buildings never been happier no weekends nights or holidays they donโ€™t even blink when you hand them a bill

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erick Neilson says:

    I gotta get someone to look at my 1997 Mitsubishi mini-split R22 unit, pretty sure it is slightly low on refrigerant because it ices up and spews condensation when it runs hard, so we were just running it on low fan and letting it cycle by setting temperature a degree or two below room temp with an additional 600 watt window AC to supplement the cooling, but Iโ€™ve moved and want to rent the place out, so the janky window AC need to go… ultimately it should be replaced with a heat pump because thereโ€™s just a baseboard heater, but the building doesnโ€™t allow new AC units to be installed anymore, so weโ€™re stuck with vintage AC.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars brnmcc01 says:

    It might last until next spring, your customer is lucky we're nearly at the end of peak cooling season. I'm sure it'll die once temps get back into the 110+ range. The insanely high summer temps you get there combined with that condenser coil being so damaged is going to do a number on it. In hindsight, what you could have done is sweat in two 3/8 flare adapters and install a -HH drier, those are pretty good for wax removal, and Sporlan used to have a demo setup back in the 1980's with old black compressor oil being cleaned up back to a straw color with only 24 hours of compressor run time. HH is not for acid removal like some people think, it's high wax capacity. When the oil gets cooked, especially POE oils, it forms waxes which plug up metering devices and valves. That way with flares would be simple to keep replacing the drier until they can get a new unit. With unit availability as bad as it is right now, on top of new energy efficiency rules kicking in next year, you might have to change that drier a few more times, even if they approve a new unit tomorrow, it might be months before you can get a new unit shipped, then schedule the crane etc to get it changed out.

    Well done my friend!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael O says:

    The AC is doubling as a cook surface for the kitchen. No that is energy efficient! ๐Ÿคฃ
    Also I picked up the Wiha insulated torque set and loving it. I got the new version with the additional bits.

    There's no such thing as cold it's a made up concept Are you in Nepean ?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Procrastinating Nerd says:

    The life expectancy of those unit's is only about 15 years? I did not know that, that seems low. And here I am trying to keep our 25 year old a/c running…

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cold King says:

    Another Great video Chris . My Sunday ritual! most of my customers have completely stopped PMs -money being the biggest issue . So we just patch em and continue to recommendโ€ฆโ€ฆ.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gabriel Buss says:

    I probably would have cut that drier out to ensure that I don't release ang crap past it, but who am I. Lol

    Literally more from you then at school, lol. Thanks bro!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean Taray says:

    that filter dryer will probably outlast that unit… but the real question .. is can you even get a new unit?

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ropey Loads says:

    I have to say this because it is the truth. You are honestly the most perfect man, everything about you is absolutely incredible your looks, your voice, your intelligenceโ€ฆ you are amazing โค Are you in Barrhaven ?

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tyrone Nelson says:

    Why would you stick your hand into a refrigeration condensing unit which could possibly have a bad earth and also the unit could potentially be live with three phase voltages, how is this professional work possibly putting other people watching this video at risk. Service area Nepean??

    What tablet are you using with your probes

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ousama Ghazlan says:

    dude why are you just watching the compressor it will explode

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tho mas says:

    Well, I would also said try changing the dryer in that situation.
    Best case it runs again, worst case it wonโ€™t.
    But I donโ€™t think that try wonโ€™t be too expensive ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Since itโ€™s now running, Iโ€™d go on to order a replacement
    do you do Black Friday Deals? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Johnson says:

    With stage one having a full charge and a plugged up drier….i too would of thought those fixed bore would've been plugged. That oil is most definitely trashed and that compressor has been overheating for quite some time now. That unit is definitely on life 8 of 9….living on borrowed time.

    would a manual high pressure switch be consider preventive maintenance.?

    the best way to get notified I found is either use the youtube app on mobile and turn on notifications or use use email if you have that option Service area Orleans??

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tonny Cassidy says:

    Overheated refrigeration oil turns into some sort of powder most of the time, ive seen some that looked like it turned into burnt caramel and stuck to a wall of 3/8 inch pipe, plugged solid

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 7th says:

    Can you do a video on the difference in HVAC jobs/titles and the realistic differences? Reading and trying to organize them online and asking people isn't helping when trying to choose a path.
