7 years later, i wonder if he feels the same.

you could not include your number in all that words and love to be your contractor give us a call cal what number you did not provide any number

What if it used a piston do I change the size smaller or bigger

On my comment I ment to say I wouldn't do it on a heatpump pardon me

I would heat pump but I would straight cooling gas heat. Till this day at a school we have 12.5 ton straight cooling rheem unit on a carrier commercial airhandler with 410A txvs been cooling for 8 yrs . Two others also at other schools

I need to see this install

No you cannot. That’s because the R410A compressor will break if it’s fed R22, and R22 and R410A have different pressures. So I advise you do not use an R410A condenser on an R22 system. Otherwise it’s for your system

do you have to change the metering device to match the 410 condenser or will the r22 metering device work

Thank you for this… your honesty….sharing your wisdom… going against the narrative! You saved me lots of money!!! God bless you .

Anyone ever put a 410A compressor in as replacement for an R22? Then switch gas to say MO-99? I know that a R22 compressor won’t work for long in a 410A unit. I found one once. The high pressure bypass in the compressor releases when the pressure gets too high. But with R22 compressors getting hard to find I’d like to try a 410A compressor in a R22 condenser running MO-99.

How to change orifice size

Great video and explanation. I have 2 Spacepak high velocity systems in my attic. One for each floor. Both R22 condensors need to be replaced. Every HVAC contractor I've spoken to wants to replace the whole system. (including all the inside equipment) Do you know anyone in the Andover MA / Boston area willing to work with me on this project. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm Anthony from ct been doing this for more than 20 years this guy is correct I work for the government in high rises it works

My change outs take 4 to 5 hours. Inside and out. And everything on it is perfectly square with everything zip tied and clean looking.

I wish this guy was in my area - I'd hire him in a minute for his honesty, willingness to be flexible and lack of arrogance. All three criteria seem to be missing in 90% of the HVAC contractors in my area.

hahahahah I need an AC Tune Up for my AC system in Las Vegas

So true, you need to go to an Honest AC Repair Company especially in Las Vegas

Are u guys hiring i am in vegas im 19 but i am very interested in working in hvac

Great example of why homeowners should work with contractors that offer 10 years of labor. Trinity Warranty Solutions is one of the best extended warranty providers in the industry.

Do not show me this add it's a scam

this is bad idea contamination is for sure left behind that r22 , it will breakdown the 410 compressor and condenser.

the problem is that r22 coil cant handle the 410 pressure, alot of those r22 were done 30 years ago they have soft soldier joints , putting a 410 with alot higher pressure on those joints your asking for a leak .

I work a industrial hvac job. We have a few systems that are very old R22 evaps ill guess 40ish years old with newer 410 condensors running R22 and they work. Also a same system runni g R458 but the 410 cond has a R22 comp.

You are the folks I want working on my air. The fact that you are used to the needs of a system operating in our desert heat helps a lot. (Pahrump) Sub'd, and emailed. And any news or video on the system you guys put together with the mixed refrigerants and R22/R410a hardware mashups?

Just watched your video. Awesome! Do you service Pahrump? I've had an R410a condenser on an R22 Evap for 9 years now. So far, so good. I did notice the current draw on the compressor does go pretty high when it's 114° out but seems to still work. Rated at 21.5 R.L.A and I've only seen it above that when the cap was going out. No response here after 11 months. I'll try calling your office.

410a ac with old r22 coil works perfectly fine with piston, actually I found the really old coil without piston works even better . I'm so sick of these contractors that are so scared to adapt and overcome because its not by the book of large distributors making tons of money. You can always give an estimate to put a matching evap coil in at a later date . Not everyone can afford a BMW but dammit there's nothing wrong with a chevette

What if the Home warranty company is only replacing the Condenser with a 410A and leaving the coil old R22. Then they will deny the claim on the work they did later? SMH

What everyone needs to understand is that this is a temporary fix. A properly installed system will last a customer 20 to 25 years. Why would you want to do this to your customer. Would you let your mechanic put a part on your vehicle that was not rated for your car just because he can make it work and save you a few dollars up front? The EPA will be phasing out the new 410A refrigerant in the near future customers will be faced with a bigger problem. This is why manufacturers are requiring companies to jump through hoops for warranty parts because of unprofessional service companies such as this. I feel sorry for the customers who get involved with this kind of workmanship. Sometimes the hard truth is better. I've had many customers who wanted to try things like this in the past, but after helping them dodge a bullet they always come back and thank me later.

Very nice video!

OMG this info was so helpful ive been going crazy all the companies i contacted say they cant make a r22 unit work with a new hvac system.

Thx for the info our ac condenser is failing at 20+ years old and here in AZ it's too hot to do without hopefully I can find someone to do this reasonably.

So now I have been told . That some guys here in NY have been using 410a condenser with 407c . They remove the 410a refrigerant . And putting in 407c . Has anyone heard of that .

If i put r22 in a new air condition will it work more efficiently?

i always change the condenser and the TXV and just work great the only thing the 410a makes more condensate water

R410a 10 KW inverter split ,just out of warranty (12 months old) condenser coil split ,lost all refrigerant from leak, brazed up coil leak with silver solder. Refilled system with R22 reclaimed filtered refrigerant as emergency repair... Year later it's still running lot sweeter on R22 heating lot better, no more leaks 🤞 Just subbed 👍

Fair enough. Why are so many contractors B/S'ing me?

Need you in Texas! Thanks for this video! I have a 4Ton Goodman R22 and a Coil that says "Suitable for R22 and R410a" Im hoping my warranty will still be valid.

After seeing this video and the credibility of this guy I decided to replace my 4 ton r22 outside unit that died with a new 4 ton r410 unit. I am certified and do my own work, and I can say that the new system is working perfectly with no noticeable difference! Thank you fast affordable Air for being honest! I now know I can do this when necessary.

I have a question can I use 3 ton R410a condenser 0n 4ton R 22 evaporator thank you

Anyone have a link to a good txv?

I live in vegas. My system was done this way a few years ago. Half of the system us from 1989. Blower motor died after 118 degree weekend. Called popular name to have it replaced. The guy tried hard to sell me a new system for 14k for my 1200 sqft house. Which would have meant two days without air. He agreed to install just the blower motor $1400. Over price but i was desperate. He managed to damage a wire from the thermostat and couldn't get the unit to work. He left and said a senior tech would come out and figure it out. The second guy figured out what was wrong real quick and fixed it offered a new thermostat at the lowest price a could fine online checked out the rest of the system and said it was working great. He said his company doesn't install them this way but obviously was working fine. Point off the story as a customer Im thankful for this option. Vegas is hot and hard on ac units. I get companies have to charge more out here because of the conditions they are working in 118 degree ling days.... But 14k is just trying to take advantage of desperate people. My power bill averages $100 a month so the energy saving of a newer system wouldn't pay for itself. Nor would my house sell for much if anymore because of the new unit. I am real thankful for you guys who offer other solutions. As for a business model sure you don't charge as much this way but it doesn't take as long or cost you as much to do. Profits could be better for you while saving your clients money also. Would you go out and buy a whole new car just because one part failed? For 14k I could of got a new car with a working a/c system. Anyways thanks for the video.

Extremely reasonable.

Its simple...You put a 410A condenser that has the scroll type compressor and charge it with a R22 drop in replacement. Been running strong for 5 years. It is incredibly efficient. The electric bill went down and the air is Ice Ice cold. Just sayin

Thank you! I beat out my competition 99% of the time by just replacing the outdoor unit and modify the evap via 410a TXV or mostly flowrater with zero callbacks! Thank you for the confirmation

Hello. Your video is very informative. I have a 3.5 ton R-22 condenser unit whose compressor has shorted out. Could this R-22 condenser unit be replaced with a 4 ton R-410a condenser unit, and R-22 refrigerant be used? ...Or would you recommend me using another refrigerant? Also, would the orifice need to be changed? If so, what size orifice? Any other changes? Thanks.

Just replace both why take a chance????

Fantastic video. Great job!

Good relationship 🤣

Can I take a new R410A condenser, recover unit refrigerant, recharge with R407C and connect to a existing R22 system? Flushing existing system of coarse.

Are you still alive?
