I would have liked to see the repair, and you said instead of removing the old one and instead placing in a T junction. I think it would have helped me understand why that would be a route I should take in the future and when best to use that application. Still a great video!

What does politics have to do with anything?

@@cbernier3 because they have no common sense and have to call a repair man for everything

​@cbernier3 He is right, i have definitely gotten more biden voters calling after hours who can seem to figure very basic things out and then get mad at the bill

@@zack9912000 I fix John Deere equipment. 99% of them are Trump supporters. Can't even fix their own tractor. Pathetic.

@cbernier3 since John deere went woke, I see why.

As you should because breakers don't just "trip" find the short or the high amp draw... amateurs

Huh?

Good thing we aren't socialist cucks.

Who cares, this is America

Ps lol you remind me of myself. I diagnosed a bad module on a furnace one time and it was an expensive one so you want to be rite. I sound like you did when you said please work lol Mine, but I had I’m trying to think, a loose ground or something and it worried me for awhile until I got it going.

When I put my probes on dye came out and got all over them.

I need to get in on the hospitals lol. What kind of units are you typically working with?

@whitebenjamin75 We have a centralized system using centrifugal chillers and a large number of DX units. The room thermostats control reheat coils at the terminal units.

I’d prefer an auto reset discharge.

I have no idea. I’ll find out real quick though.

@@NighthawkHVAC 😂 , i would hope so.

I'm sorry to see you're having so many issues with your AC unit. High pressure will kill a compressor. Especially if it's running for a long time. I'm surprised the high pressure switch didn't cut off your unit. Usually when this occurs the outdoor unit will cycle on and off and will not cool. The fact that your unit was overcharged is definitely a mistake by the installer or tech. The failed blower motor can be caused by dirty filters, under sized return grill/ducts, some type of airflow restriction, or an out of specification capacitor. If the replacement compressor was not installed properly you might have another compressor failure in the future. Unfortunately sometimes you can get a lemon. That goes for all brands. It might be a good idea to try to find another company to take a look at the unit to get another set of eyes on it. I wish you luck and hopefully no more issues.

Actually I’ve had 4 companies work on this unit. Most recent was a routine maintenance 3 days ago and they said everything checked out fine. I’m living in a desert climate for 35 years and in recent years the 100+ degree heat waves have been brutal, lasting 6 to 8 weeks during the summer months.

You might try one of those condenser misters. Especially on the hotter days. It will reduce your head pressure lowering the load on the compressor. It looks like a joke when you see it, but in extreme heat it can be effective.

Technician came back today and diagnosed the problem as stuck reversing valve. Said replacing that should fix the issue.

Fingers crossed 🤞

I totally understand. There are a lot of bad techs or sales people in disguise. But we're not all bad! I made this channel to try to help techs be better and to help homeowners be aware of what they're getting into whether they do it them self or hire a company to look at their unit. The disclaimer in the beginning is designed to let you know that the video is intended for people that are familiar the HVAC systems. Most people won't understand everything I'm talking about. I don't want people to misunderstand something and damage their unit or hurt themself. Thank you for watching and commenting.

My story mirrors yours. I got everything I need to service and install HVAC systems that I own. My experiences with HVAC pros has been absolutely horrible. EPA 608 license and a few dozen hours of KZbin has been enough for me to save $30k so far. The next year will be busy as well. Honestly, it would be worth it for just a single installation.

yea, Prob always a good idea if u see a changed motor check that it's the right Capacitor / motor combo.

That’s a good idea. I’ll see if I can go back and check that. Thanks for the tip!

My videos are intended for HVAC techs and people that are familiar with HVAC systems. I actually do watch install videos after work. I guess I'm just a HVAC nerd!

@@NighthawkHVAC i’m not an hvac master but i’ve been a refrigeration tech and contractor for 20 years and i enjoy watching videos and installing and servicing mini splits ☺️

I just diy'd 3 of them. All you need is basic electrical and plumbing knowledge, some common sense and the right tools. The tools are expensive, probably all in about $900 which includes a 2 stage vacuum pump, nitrogen tank, digital pressure and vacuum gauges, 2 core removers/isolators and a torque wrench. I’m probably doing a better job because I have 24 hours to wait for a pressure test and have time to do a triple evaluation. I also saved about $14,000 by doing in myself. Permit and inspection were another $200
