Customer: its a 2 year old unit, i dont need Maintenance. The Condenser Unit:

[@SqueakyHinge]

I've noticed that you move your temperature clamps up and down when applied. I assume that is to clean the sensing spot but that can also damage the sensor, I would think. I always carry a little sand paper with me to clean the copper where I plan on taking the sensor temperature so all the sensor has to do is sense temperature and is not used for a cleaning device which, I would think, would be damaging to the sensor.

[@onefixitman]

When are you going to just order a new temperature sensor? Many videos with that temp sensor giving you problems. Good video. I always learn something in these videos.

[@fernandobazan829]

Guarantee you the evap coil is just as bad with all that toe jam dust

[@jthonn]

LMAO

[@SJJtech]

My Fieldpiece wired temp probe has been acting up as well. I zero’d it out and it worked well for a couple calls then went back to reading negative sub cooling on every call.

[@dmiestercommkitchentech3043]

Curtis try the new Appion probes you dont need your phone the readings are on the probes.

[@bradsmith9293]

APPIONS are terrific. Been using them for years. Reliable , small with backlit heads.

[@scottmaz4063]

It's fur coat season time to start cleaning them coils

[@kg4muc]

Clean as a whistle 😅 now. Have a good weekend. It’s looking like a rainout up my way😢

[@HVACGUY]

You too!

[@scotto3826]

I think it's funny how people in the south set their tstat at 70. I live in the Phoenix area. If I set my tstat at 70, my a/c would run 24/7 and never satisfy. And my electric bill would be $800. I keep my tstat at 77, and that's low. Some people don't set below 80.

[@bobbyelliott1117]

I live in the south and set mine at 77 as well. On some hot summer days here would probably take 48 hours to get it down to 70 and as you said, couldn't pay the bill.

[@numchux2]

It's all about humidity, if it's less humid 77 is just fine but with humidity it's going to feel sticky and gross at 77...

[@MrRupus2020]

That's a dry heat. You need to spend a summer in Mississippi. 😅

[@scotto3826]

​@MrRupus2020 no thank you!

[@maxwellmelon69]

I visted phoenix before 100 there is alot nicer then 85 here in swampy Florida…if i didnt look at a them i would have thought it was cooler

[@evilswissy]

I cleaned a condenser that had a sheet of dust and grass clippings last month. surprised it was even working at all

[@jthonn]

They do tend to work better when air can pass through them. That's a good cleaner. Your hose may be collapsing on the inside. Good work once again.

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks

[@stephenbullock-yn3vh]

Great work curtis 👍

[@justinrichard4190]

Has anyone ever seen a contactor go bad and send 120v through the condenser wire? it happened to me today. blew the 3 amp fuse and melted the wire.

[@hazendismukesjr.8319]

You might need a magnet tray

[@jthonn]

He had one a while back.

[@TomLawson05]

Another job well done and a happy costumer have a great weekend

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks, you too!

[@Bob.W.]

I need to clean the indoor blower wheel on the Mini-split wall mounted head, whole different deal. Thx.

[@kens.3729]

70 degrees ? Are they Hanging Freezer Meat in the Back Room ? 😬👍

[@SNAF-who]

Ok boomer. Tell me i cant have my house at 68 degrees with out telling me i cant? my house stays at 64* year round

[@chrissmith513]

It doesn't take long to get dirty like that 😊😊😊

[@stevencossaboon3237]

Nice work Curtis.

[@HVACGUY]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kmerc609]

You're supposed to open R410A upside down to mix the two refrigerants properly as a liquid.

[@kaylalee20201]

I want a bag like that

[@robalexander7348]

Nice video Curtis 👍 Au

[@franciscotejeda1461]

Good video Mr Curties

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks

[@moshemoshe-yy8hj]

A little for you is a huge for me

[@staind288]

I really don't think that much coil cleaner is necessary 😂

[@sdrtech]

Curt you could be getting metering refrigerant through the dryer

[@gtpforever]

Heard that shout-out to the fathvacguy. I used to work with him. Good dude right there. 👍

[@HVACSUPERTECH]

The REASON YOUR CLAMPS ARENT ACCURATE IS BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS FORGET TO SAND THE COPPER BEFOFE ATTACHING THE CLAMPS, those FIELDPIECE CLAMPS USE THE PIPES ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE, they are not thermistors, if you do not attach to clean copper, you don’t get a accurate reading. Simple

[@harrydickson4575]

👍👍👍

[@atoms1978]

Nice💪💪👍👍😊

[@thesilentonevictor]

Customer should be happy after all that grass on the condenser coil good work Curtis

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks 👍

[@dashcamandy2242]

Is there a way in the software to re-calibrate/offset an inaccurate temp sensor? So you don't have to drop a chunk of dough on a new sensor because it's off by a few degrees?

[@bobshanery5152]

Dont think so. Depending on what you have but you can get them calibrated... however from my understanding you have to send it in to a place that does it. Somethings are free and some things cost. Not sure on prices but probably around a few hundred depending on what you have.

[@maxwellmelon69]

Seems like a bad install consderation not putting the blanked out side towards the wall

[@butlerstouchHVAC]

great cleaning curtis

[@carlosmancia7795]

How long have you had those pressure probes and how long do you think they last ?? I’m thinking about buying some

[@SNAF-who]

different brand, but my testo "smart probes lasted 4 years before i just had to replace one probe.

[@moldenburg909]

Curtis, is it possible that sensor got wet inside? I had crazy readings all the time and they said it got wet. Don’t know. Just a thought. Good job there.

[@ceilingfanmusic6597]

I have a question. I'm new to the HVAC field but whenever I gauge up on a system a bit of liquid/ vapor sprays out whenever I'm guaging up on a system? How do you avoid this? I noticed in the video that no vapor or liquid escapes when he is putting the gauges on. I'm using yellow jacket analog gauge and manifold

[@Paul-IE-Repairs]

is that liquid line going from 3/8 to 1/4 or 5/16 across the drier?

[@TrustedHVACR]

What is the sprayer called?

[@joefesi5266]

Upside down??

[@AaronPowellvox]

That foam gun defeats the purpose of the foaming cleaner. The cleaner is supposed to foam after it is put on the coil so it pushes the debris out. Then you can rinse it. It’s a gimmick to sell more cleaner and people seem to love them for some reason.

[@BlahBlah-em2ed]

So just take the cap off the jug of cleaner and pour it on the coils?

[@PedroHenrique-cu6fq]

thats what its doing, thr big foam falls after its aplyed, than leaves the solution it self

[@Junebug_g59]

@@BlahBlah-em2edspray bottle

[@berated4541]

The foam is “activating” or in the chemistry world what is called emulsifying, which is a fancy way for saying a surface activating agent. Furthermore foam has exponentially more surface area compared to liquid cleaner meaning it goes waayyy further if you induce it into a foam, so to say it’s a ruse to sell more cleaner is simply not true. Just don’t be that tech using nubrite on an aluminum coil!

[@eastlandgin]

Your cleaning was lazy.

[@osvaldomcs1213]

Lol you introduced a lot of air in the system.

[@SnickasBah]

yikes I think I saw that too.
