Goodman Condenser Replacement - (start to finish)

[@maxwellcrazycat9204]

As a former auto mechanic I've done plenty of automotive HVAC work. I found this an interesting video. Sometimes when I recovered a R134A system I wondered what I might be recovering.

[@blackericdenice]

6:12 I cut the large part off of my new condenser.

[@jhonatanoyarce4488]

damn bro, you are a beast for lifting that condenser all by yourself

Why you didn't used Elevator ❓ ❓ 😮​@@ApartmentMaintenancePro

[@Honestandtruth007]

Why didn't use Elevator ❓❓❓ 😮😊 for equipments

[@arcticarrowhvacr]

I think Goodman can be a fine piece of equipment if installed correctly.. just like anything else they all have similar or interchangeable parts. Better than York for sure. With these rooftop units I highly recommend you keep the coils clean if you have water access. With pressures of R410A things can go south quick- airflow is crucial.

[@timothywalch7102]

If you would have taken that straight section of pipe out of that 90 that has a flare on it the flare would if it perfectly inside there without having to crimp the pipe on the condensing unit to make it fit

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Ah damn that's a good idea thanks. Gonna do that on the next one for sure! :)

[@5822huron]

I hate that he did that 😒

[@slipperyjk]

Made me cringe!

[@GB-ue6wr]

Goodman is the best…said no one ever!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Apartment complexes love them. One of the cheapest AC units out there!

[@BruceLeanTrades]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro yeah they do , the previous company i was working for had a lot of contracts with apartment complexes for all the skilled hvac work , my old boss keeps like 100 goodman units at all times just because we would change them out so much at apartments

[@buddy7485]

10 year parts and labor and lifetime compressor replacement is nothing to sneeze at for people on a budget

[@picklerix6162]

Nobody would buy Goodman if the hardware was not a good value for the money. During the pandemic, Goodman prices really shot up so I prefer Rheem/Ruud now.

[@torontocpl]

My Goodman (ac/heat ) has lasted over 16years up here in northern 🇨🇦 Replaced the fan blower motor 5years ago .. no other issues… our temperatures range from minus -40c in the 9 months of winter to plus 30c in our 3 months summer.. I’m a diesel mechanic not a air/furnace technician it was easy to install.. blower fan motor cost $200 dollars and another $250 dollars to ship it up here ( HudsonBay area)🇨🇦 Cheers

[@mel904]

I would suggest stocking copper bushings. That is not a acceptable connection.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks Melvin 🛠

[@jimmycampbell8175]

Great video. You explain every step very well. Thanks!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching Jimmy!

[@michaelmcrae9805]

Yeah Dave, I remember having to lug all my stuff up those 30 foot internal ladders so I'm really king of jealous about the stairs

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Ya stairs are definitely nice :) Thanks for watching!

[@oneshot_onekill4618]

I have the goodman 2.5 ton. ? What thermost wires connects to the blue and blue/red coming out of the condensor unit?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Please refer to your wiring diagram

[@josuezamora3414]

Funny I actually worked on a unit on this exact roof, Downtown Denver nice work btw

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Nice bro! Thanks for watching :)

[@jairojuarezperez928]

Qué pasa cuando desconectas las mangueras y se regresa el aire en el cobre ? Cuando termina de aspirar?

[@oneshot_onekill4618]

Was this system precharged?

[@fernandobazan829]

I don’t know why you just hacked up the low side connection by crimping semi closed instead of getting or making a fitting to side in and braze it like normal it might not leak now but give it some time I’m sure it’s already leaking and if the unit fails you are on the hook for it in court mind you hmmmm best of luck

[@JerryLynch2]

Way to bang, Dave!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks Jerry!!

[@JerryLynch2]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Dave, Do me a favor and hit me up with a contact email or number, plz. I'd like to speak with you ( about pumping stuff up hill ) about the circulation of coolant without the World chiming in our conversation. I would really appreciate it! Have a great day!

Once I seen the cart with all those tools I felt all the times I had to do that!

[@MarvinHoughton-s7u]

Excellent video. Thank you

[@rhpham2]

When you broke vacuum with refrigerant, didn’t refrigerant also went into the vacuum gauge?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Yes. A little bit

[@thomashightower1660]

I have to move a 4 ton Goodman can I reclose the King valve and keep most of the freon in the unit? Just vacuum the line set.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Yes

[@joeburner7120]

Can’t you break vacuum by shutting your core tool and releasing gas from condenser? I saw you bled off from refrigerant tank to manifold (yellow hose) but how about from manifold to unit? Did that hose have air in it? Maybe I missed it?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

You can break vacuum by opening up the valves yes but you probably don’t want a lot of pressure going through the micron gauge so isolate that if you can

[@edgarlezcas7287]

You are the best my friend

Awesome video, helps tons

Can this work for any 2 ton ac /heating unit?

[@seadeas]

Thank you 🙏

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Your welcome C Deese lol

[@ajgonzalez9926]

Thank you

[@testtesting2868]

When you broke vacuum, why didn't you turn the tank over to get a true blend of the two components that make up R410a?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

1/100th of a 40/60 blend of gas into a system to break vacuum will make no difference. Im sure my math is wrong but - prove me wrong.

[@testtesting2868]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro You are correct, it's not much gas that you introduced ... just not the correct way. Introducing as a liquid gives the correct blend of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane.

[@joeburner7120]

Did I miss something? Did you braze with valve cores installed?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Ya it’s not best practice- I’ve done it many time though no issues

[@evan1213]

Is this a 2ton?

[@marcgonzales8818]

I like how you just pick the condenser up. I get it, you’re strong lmao. That back strength though

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I used to do a lot of power lifting, deadlifts and such.

[@herextsy]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I always thought condensers weighed like 250 pounds for some reason lol. And the reason I think this is because I'm 14 and you got a new sub 👍

[@joeyysossa4144]

Its nice to be able to afford all that equiptment...Im a AC tech in a poor country so I only have a vacume pump and manifolds basic tools...I watch yr videos n wonder how much yr high quality equiptment cost you.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Hi, I invest several hundred dollars a year and try and take care of my stuff so a lot of it has been built up over the years. For instance, my field piece multimeter was around $200 but I’ve owned it for 13 years now

[@8teninini]

That’s why are backs are shot 🤔

[@ricktaylor5315]

Thank you, great video, one thing I am interested in, the Goodman manual, for the unit I will install tomorrow states: "Open the suction service valve first! If the liquid service valve is opened first, oil from the compressor may be drawn into the indoor coil TXV, restricting refrigerant flow and affecting operation of the system". I see in the video you opened the liquid line first. Was there any issues with the system after doing so? Thank you very much!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

No there were not. I've had the privilege of working a property for 8 years and never had that issue. But, I would recommend following the manual to be safe. I knew I was going to get called out on that.

nah

[@Mwfrizzellandsons]

No reason to use the supplied piston?

[@mjmej4734]

Those are not king valves. Who brazed the suction line?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Please time stamp the section of the video you are referring to, so others, and I, know what you are referencing with this comment. Thanks!

[@Cody-ye3ye]

Always open suction first

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I got zero oil when disconnecting gauges. Just open it slowly and the oil should be fine. If that’s what your referring to. It’s always nice to add reason behind comments 👍

[@Cody-ye3ye]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro in the manual it says suction first that’s the reason why they must have had problems with oil and txvs

[@abcdefghi2175]

LOOK I GET IT YOU HAVE TO BE FAST BUT NOT HALF ASS BUT DUDE YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET WHEN YOUR BACK GOES OUT AND THEN ALL THAT KNOWLEDGE IS WASTED DONT ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!!!! ALSO IF CONTACTOR IS NOT CLOSED THEN NO POWER TO LOW VOLTAGE WIRES YOU CAN BREATH EASIER I HAVE A ALOT OF RESPECT FOR THIS PROFESSION AND THE PROS THAT MAKE IT LOOK EASY BUT WE BOTH KNOW IT TAKES SPECIAL PEOPLE TO BE HVAC WORTHY!!

All ACs are easy to install with good ‘access’

[@jesusdavidgarciacastroluqu763]

I hope he didn't bulge his spinal nerves in his lower back while lifting the unit by himself i learned this the hard way i used to lift heavy boxes of potatoes each weighing 50 pounds i later began to develop back problems and man it hurts real bad it took me weeks to recover and know when lifting heavy things i either get help or use equipment like a hand cart designed to lift heavy objects like boxes or furniture

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I've been repping deadlifts double my body weight for about 10 years now I'm pretty good at lifting things 💪
