Hello, tubes!!!! Love this channel.

[@rday7573]

Has anyone ever complained that you're playing on your phone? I know techs in other fields have had complaints. Esp the elderly don't know about Bluetooth instruments.

What was that attachment you had on the end of your nozzle that you were rinsing the coils with?

[@billybrown1979]

another happy worker and customer. be bless and safe.

[@jeffhagberg6796]

In NC you have to have several hours of class room and years of on the job training , I've got my EPA certification and 5 years of commercial hvac and some residential training I went a different career route. HVAC is what I should have done!

[@brandonprice2897]

Sweet! Thank you for adding in about your friend Grant. I already did a year and a half of schooling for HVACR. I had to leave early because I wanted to get treatment for my drug and alcohol addiction. I now have 9 months clean and sober. So I definitely will want to check him out for sure. Keep up posting these great videos. And just an FYI, I am already EPA 608 certified. But I’d love to finish what I started since I have never finished anything I’ve ever set out to do accept for high school.

Sounds like u are on the right track. Goodluck to u.

[@brandonprice2897]

@@robavis4906 thanks brother. I’m sitting in a meeting now, well it starts in about 5 minutes.

[@rday7573]

Stay with it brother!!! My sister had same situation 20 years ago...was hard but she broke free and you will too! Finish this school and change your life forever!!!

[@hughholt121]

Best of luck with your addiction . When it happens in your family you get to see the pain firsthand . You just have to want to beat it to beat it.

Wish you the best. If I make it to July 27 it will be 39 years, one day at a time.

[@SerafinGreen-u3c]

Why was the head pressure not reacting when you recovered refrigerant? Line restriction?

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Txv. I've replaced probably 20 in these models. Most of them are because the factory left the pressure head lines rubbing against each other or against something else.

[@kg4muc]

Those fixes are always welcomed, especially as busy as you are right now. Good call on the slight over charge. Have a great weekend

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks 👍

[@mabbaticchio]

Looks like a first person shooter game when you had that coil cleaner. Awesome!!

[@ramonadecoteau2680]

I wish you could do a tutorial about how to trouble shoot voltages through a board … or just about boards even.

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

It is always a bit easier while checking delta,thanks for sharing.

This is the Bread & Butter Time of the Year for your Business. It’s Obviously HOT and your Many Customers including the Elderly need you more than ever. 👍🙏

[@jeffsmith846]

Why don't the manufacturers put a high pressure switch to just shut down the unit when the head pressure goes crazy due to dirty coils?

[@marcorecinos8629]

I ran in to the same issue today. But in my case the compressor was triping on high amperage. The coil did not look dirty. After using the blue coil cleaner. I saw all the dirt that came off. It droped 10 apms on the compressor

[@throttlebottle5906]

many of those coils will get you good, if you don't look carefully deep into them. many have micro-splayed fins down within the fins and they clog solid with debris/dust/dirt, cutting the airflow way down and reducing total cooling fin surface area. total surface area in a smaller package is exactly how the "engineers" designed them, there was very likely zero thought process outside of perfect clean lab conditions or they were pushing and getting push back form the bean counters. in the end whom really gets screwed?

[@missouriman7689]

Good work on the sponsor and keeping people happy and alive in some cases. Bless you good Sir.

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks

[@Thermodynamics6543]

Possible restriction in drier or txv closing more than it should, limiting flow into evaporator and backing up refrigerant in condenser. Hence the high superheat and high subcooling.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Those things eat expansion valves for some reason

[@kens.3729]

The Old Fram Oil Filter Commercials of the 1970’s Said, “You Can Pay Me Now, or You Can Pay Me Later”. Everything in Life is ALL about Preventative Maintenance🤔👍

[@rday7573]

Including diet. You can pay the farmer now, or the doctor later. Pay more for better food!!!!

[@RealWorldHVACR]

awesome work brother. always hard to measure subcooling when using discharge pressure instead of liquid

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Those things go through expansion valves like crazy. Probably what's wrong with it. I've replaced probably 20 in this model. Usually because the pressure head lines where left rubbing together from the factory, rubbing a hole in the line, causing the tvx to go full restrictive

[@davidb2438]

Also, I agree it’s a little overcharged

[@danwittels5542]

Good job Curtis!

[@ricksapple]

What is the model number of your drill

[@kevinh6098]

those unit are known for leaking evaporator coils I change one twice on the same unit and the third is leaking

[@Bryan-Hensley]

These things are JUNK

[@billyk5107]

I bought that same sprayer and the cleaner you recommended the other day it works great

[@HVACGUY]

Yes it does!

[@dross3674]

Great video! I had a brand new install yesterday of a Trane outdoor and tam9 with about a thirty-foot line set. I ended up having to take about two and half pounds out of it from factory. Checking subcooling is a must, I am almost afraid of weighing in the charge before startup. Expect anything!!

[@davidb2438]

I think you are using Viper product to clean, ever worry about not rinsing it all off, any chance for corrosion?

[@ignacio8597]

Not with the venom pack

[@stevencossaboon3237]

Nice work Curtis.

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks!

[@evanmartin1596]

Discharge pressure tends to lead to a higher subcool than liquid line pressure

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

BDP was famous for hiding dirt in there coils Take a small pocket screwdriver and bend ,(separate) two fins and look at spot with flashlight you’ll be able to see the dirt. Somehow the dirt doesn’t stick to the exterior

[@captaindiabetes]

What cleaner do you use to clean the coils and the tip on the water hose nozzle?

[@charlespaine987]

Do they have any effective field tools to measure pressure drop across the condenser coil . I really hate split coil setups detecting internal between coil plugins is hard to find and harder to clean

[@stephenbullock-yn3vh]

Great work curtis 👍

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks 👍

[@rgruenhaus]

Not keeping up can be house insulation too!

[@mynameismyname4823]

Ngl yes thankfully the disconnect is turned off but it doesn't bother u @ ALL spraying water all around the AC unit with the wires, contactor and capacitor wide open being exposed?? For coil cleaning i dont look at the wires, capacitor and contactor @ ALL I keep them covered and closed because i don't wanna wet them & i don't wanna break them @ ALL 8:20 gave me anxiety a lil bit

[@jthonn]

That was a nice little job.

[@jeffkablock3229]

you still left it overcharged lol 40 year tech here in florida bubba you should have brought it down some more

[@Bob.W.]

Thx. Job's a real Payne. 😂

[@catwrangler1613]

how did the indoor air filter look, was it clean?

Some ppl don't want u in they house das they problem

Great video!

Thanks!

[@Demy26]

Make your money Curtis 😊

[@gainestruk1]

Looks like it is running and picking up mower clippings when they mow.

[@mediocretroll2842]

I tell residential and especially commercial customers to always cut away from the unit and even to shut it off temporarily to avoid the grass in the coils. Just don't forget to cut it back on!!

[@Hvac-dude]

Hi curtis 😊😊

Looks like about 10% of those cooling fins are bent over.

[@jrsmyth9761]

Especially after he used that nozzle!!! Why the heck use that type of nozzle when the coil cleaner gun has one and the spray nozzle he attached that other nozzle to would have done just fine.

[@taylorstapp5855]

I bet they "clean" it themselves once in a while from the outside in instead of the inside out like you did. That's why it 'looked' clean. 😂
