Thanks Ken!

Great stuff! Keep it up man 🤙🏽

Thanks Jared :)

[@Khn83]

Great video!! Not sure if you do this often on compressor change outs but sometimes it’s a good idea to flush out the system to avoid cross contamination from a burnout. Love the content you are putting out… keep up the good work👍👍

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Yes thanks! I always requests properties to have acid away on hand as well as acid test kits but that doesn't always happen - I just do the best I can with what I got :)

[@666miguel99]

Thanks for the video. Question, do you know if there's a valve core removal tool for the fatter valve stems on commercial HVAC?

[@LexVance]

Great video! Go Noles! I live in Tallahassee. 😆

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Right on bro ! Go Noles!!

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I just got mine in the mail. Thanks. It dubs as a tank holder

[@JP-zz5rm]

Nice! Did a heat pump compressor changeout today as well. What’s the link for that shut off valve that you used on the vacuum pump to not let any air into the system?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Nice man! It's a Evacuation Manifold - amzn.to/34oo2fX :)

[@JP-zz5rm]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro thanks brotha! Will definitely be checking out your other videos!

How Important is it to use the valve stem removing tools???...I never used one of those I screw the blue line from the manifolds straight to the low side of the minisplits when I perform a vacume.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Lots of debate about this - cuts down on my evacuation time

[@joeyysossa4144]

Hi great video I just suscribed to yr channel my question is whats the name or the shreader valvule removal tool??? I need to buy 2 of them...I like their function. Thnks n be safe.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Valve core removal tools - links in the video description as well 👍

[@bretjohnson9981]

What superheat/subcool meter are you using and where did you get it?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

SSX34 I bought it about 10 years ago at a supply shop. Just looked it up on amazon doesn't seem anythings changed on it amzn.to/3xCQRSM

[@techfive7202]

What size brazing tip are you using

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

It’s bigger than what I usually use but all I had one me. I don’t know the size off the top of my head

[@RoaringRecip]

What year was this unit installed?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Not sure. 2021?

[@abdullah_q8171]

Whats Pressure for gas 410r ?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

go by superheat for pistons and subcool for txv's :)

[@zc3658]

So, Copeland specifically says to charge liquid into the high side only for their scroll compressors. I guess it really doesn't matter?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Reference link??

[@younasafzal7307]

Why he didn't change the expansion valve???even if we change the compressor we should must change it... Can anyone explain

[@rafaeldiegonavarro]

i bet the compressor was just fine you just needed to change the electrical connection . could of saved the client a ton of money

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Your probably right I’ve only been doing this crap for about 15 years. I obviously have no clue

[@rafaeldiegonavarro]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro lol 15 years doing it wrong your right

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

@@rafaeldiegonavarro Did you steal that comment from tik tok or come up with it all by yourself?

[@artlovemusicpeace]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro you’re just mad because you know he’s right 🤣 shady @ss hvac guys are at it again!

[@emailfilters]

1:48 - Wow. Could have inspected that first and saved time and materials. Maybe the compressor is still OK. If there are no opens, and no shorts to ground, a loose peckerhead connection was the reason the compressor wouldn't start. Replace the wring harness clean the terminals and put back into service.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Not on this one. The compressor would run, but would not pump, meaning the pressures were equalized when running, meaning the valves were shot.
