if the blower motor is a psc, amps go up when the access panel is removed - motor unloads as static goes down, loads as static increases. ecm is different due to constant torque or direct airflow compensation.

Just had annual PM on my 3 HVAC units today. You did 2 things they did not do which is: 1. check the contactor coil resistance 2. treat the condensate water. Everything else was the same. FYI: They found on one unit the wire insulation near the spade connector wires to the capacitor had started to degrade leaving the wire exposed. Maybe the extra-long AC run times in 100+ degree temps with heat index temps around 108 we've had for the last week or two had something to do with melting the wire insulation. Oh, the technician was a female who finished HVAC school about 3 years ago.

[@patmcnally6]

She did pretty Good just a Couple of add ons. She Found the wire thats being observant of her Surroundings. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@tabithavaughan6343]

stupendaaaa,Super ! You are so striking!☀

[@chadschafer1723]

Checking voltage drop across the contactor is also a quick check that can show issues

[@throttlebottle5906]

if labeling capacitor/wires, you're better of using BL = Blue. BK = Black. it's that way in many wiring schematics and board printing and other labeling. ** I forgot BR = Brown

[@robertzacks3002]

B for Blue and B for Brown....I'm so confused....I love your channel and your way of teaching very effective. Thanks!

[@beverlydentdent2860]

OoOoHhh I like this one😍😍🌹

[@kkovler1]

Before I listened to your channel I would never test capacitors unless they might be bad, causing a problem.

That furnace/evap set up isn’t supposed to have a drain trap unless it’s vented prior to….. per installation manual

[@joebal9044]

Why is there a condensate trap since the evap is on the positive side?

[@dalekronk496]

Only thing I do that is different is I test pressures and amps of the condenser fan and compressor

Mikey, can you use the secondary drain port to put the tablets into the drain pan to save time?

Those capacitors “almost all capacitors that come with condensing units” are junk. Even on new installs I remove them and use replace them with the USA made ones. I quit pulling the leads to test them it’s more accurate to test them while the unit is running plus it is faster.

[@mph5896]

Mine is on the original after 6 years. New one sitting on the shelf if I need it along with an igniter, and flame sensor.

[@duramusmosley5530]

In general, on installs, do y'all always run a new line set, or is it an as needed thing?
