Glad to see an HVAC repair done honestly! So many wouldve just told the guy he needs a new heat kit and billed a very high charge and maybe he wouldnt have even suspected .

I would love a video on sequencer operations. Don’t work on a lot of heat pumps in NJ. Also troubleshooting would be great

A heat sequencer is nothing more than a cheap time delay relay (contactor). Used to prevent all the heat elements from coming on at once to preventing an excessive voltage drop on the main line, affecting the blower motor attempting to start and maybe even blowing the pole transformer. They use thermo-discs that activate over time from a little heater (coil) mounted in the base. They will fail more often than a contactor.

There's really no need for heat sequences anymore use a contactor. Many manufacturers have got away from them and only use contactor now.

Great info! I am in Minnesota, and we don't usually, in my area at least, don't see a lot of heat strips. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Your truck is always so well kept man. Nicely done. I hope to keep my stuff the sane when the time comes.

I really enjoy your videos. Being a longtime HVAC guy myself having worked in wholesale distribution, contracting and for manufacturing it’s always refreshing to see REAL service and troubleshooting skills. The mini split manufacturer I work for definitely appreciates contractors such as yourself. Keep up the good work!

@myHVAClife 11 ай бұрын

Time to replace that old unit, and always cycle the electric heat down with your amp meter attached to make sure the blower does not cycle off until all the strips cycle off. Don't want any coils burning with no air flow, if it is wired wrong that will happen. A lot of old units use a back jumper off the sequencer to energize a blower speed in EM. HEAT mode if the tstat does not call for G in that mode.

Mention/document the way the power is supplied to the fan on most heat kits to ensure it runs until heat strips are de-energized

@jerrykorman7770 11 ай бұрын

I like to program the stat to run 30 s after the heat kit / strips are deenergized when demand is satisfied. Maybe the kit will last longer as there isn’t residual heat when the blower stops

Double throw on a relay/contactor just means that it has contacts for normally open (NO) _and_ normally closed (NC). Normally closed would be used so that the load being switched is OFF when the contactor has power (reverse the low voltage signal, basically.) This isn't really useful for heat strips where you want the 'call' to turn them on, so DT isn't a common configuration.

What temperature are heat pump good until in your experience?

@Balticblue93 11 ай бұрын

This is very difficult to answer. I am an HVAC dealer and technician. Older heat pumps are generally good to 32 degrees and then the furnace will take over. Depending on how deep your pockets are and how big your home is, you can basically get systems that technically can reach -22 degrees, but big bucks to get those. If you have natural gas, you get a decent Heat pump that can go to around 5 degrees or even -5 and have a furnace take over or heat strips. I am not a fan heat strips and they are not really used in Colorado. Nearly all my customers get a dual-fuel setup, if they have solar that helps offset some of the electrical usage, but it warmer and less expensive to run a natural gas furnace. We don't do package units unless you consider an RTU a package unit. It is all about how well your home is insulated, your windows, size of home and how warm you would like your home. But again, I only sell dual-fuel setups here in Colorado. We have to derate them for altitude but variable speed systems are our primary systems that are sized correctly with a proper load calculation for heat and cooling, not just your basic Manual J.
