I'm an electrician and sometimes dive into HVAC. You should consider getting insulated tap connectors. It would have saved you a lot of time instead of using those split bolts. The tap connectors need nothing. Fully insulated. A allen wrench to tighten. It would take 2 min. to make that connection.

I"m a retired machine tech, and something similar has happened to me. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why part of an edgebander kept blowing fuses and wouldn't work only to find out that the voltage in the building was wrong for that machine, they had 240 volt high leg 3 phase in the building and that one part of that machine had a processor that was rated for 208V single phase. They had to order a step down transformer, once installed, and I had to make sure the high leg didn't feed that processor, they never had a problem with that section again.

You needed split bolts listed for Al-Cu usually with a cadmium coated piece separating the two reactive metals. There are other types of connections that keep the metals separated.

If you stretch the rubber tape as you wrap it, it will draw tightly against the split bolts and adhere to itself.

Great repair as usual Curtis! We’ve all been there but I must say all that work wasn’t for nothing because some new tech would now know that if it’s an old unit they would check the Freon and electrical at the same time. I had someone comment on a video @ wwhvac because it was a low voltage situation and he went to check the condenser first, he said that it was unnecessary because it was obviously a blown fuse/bad transformer .but it was an old unit so it was smart because if it was a leak situation he would have to quote for replacement.

[@jdg27m]

you did right for fixing one problem the electrical then knowing you would have to check the cooling side of thing to make sure it was good to go before leaving that when if thing were good but in this case you found out there no feon in the system you wouldn't had known just by looking. the quote say's "If you're not testing, your guessing" from mike diack.

6:42 - Oh, my! That's some crispy wiring! 38:03 - No matter how much sugar you pour on it, the unit's junk. Sure, you COULD fix it (and I'm a proponent of repair-rather-than-replace), but this time it's really not worth it. Thirty-plus years is a good run. You found an important potential fire hazard that needed to be corrected, whether or not you could restore the AC. You potentially saved lives and personal property, so while you may feel like you wasted your time in the attic, I'd say you DIDN'T waste time at all. And, as you explained in the outro, if they "need" the emergency heat, you've safely restored that function. Hope you get the change-out!

[@roymg]

Mixing alum with copper is not good. Will cause heating at connectors.

[@KenKen-ui4ny]

I don't agree using it to power an electric furnace directly, like in this case. When it gets too cold enough for the heat pump to keep up, and the heating coils come on. There going to be more current getting pulled though that initially uncompatible connection.

[@roymg]

@@KenKen-ui4ny My first house was all wired with aluminum wire. I was constantly going to connections to retighten them because heat would build up. I figured one day the house would burn down. All, I assume, was done by code. It was a spec house built by a sorry contractor, and I sold it to get the hell out of there. Later I heard that all of those houses in that subdivision had to have all of that alum wire replaced with copper. I can understand using alum on the main feeders to the house but nowhere else

[@jaygosch8705]

It's surprising that the unit lost freon at the same time the wires burned up. I can't believe there was no terminal block and the transformer was just sitting loose in the bottom of the air handler.

Not telling you how to do it but telling you how I do it. After installing the split bolt I make a couple of turns of 88 on the insulation then rotate the 88 180⁰ and wrap the connection good then rotate the 88 another 180⁰ and make a couple of wraps on the other side of the split bolt. Then i tape it good with the splicing rubber then a topcoat of 88 in the normal manner. If someone needs to get into that connection the 88 that was wrapped sticky side up will not be in the connection and a single slice with the knife will remove the complete insulated cover.

[@edwardmissouri2216]

Wow, I have experienced a couple burnouts in my house due to improperly wired aluminum. One time, the furnace quit, and upon opening the junction box on the side of the furnace, the power wire had melted the wire nut, and it rolled out onto the floor. I have a house from the 70's, full of aluminum wiring. When done right, it's okay. I would rather have copper for sure, but I was young, and didn't check to see what kind of wiring I had when I bought the house. It was a unincorporated area at the time, so no city inspection. Now, that wiring wouldn't fly the way it was. The problem with that aluminum is the expansion and contraction, and the oxidation. I went through the house and installed ALUMICONNS at all the connections. Those are the only approved connectors for joining aluminum and copper now, I believe. Sure a good thing those wires were enclosed in a metal case.

[@robertkoontz7865]

Before wire nutting, I always twist wires together first, for a good connection

[@MAGAMAN]

There is no need to twist wires before you put a wire nut on. The wire nut will twist the wires for you if done right. Twist until the wires start to twist together on the outside of the wire nut, then give each wire a yank. If they don't come out, it is in there secure.

[@Garth2011]

I'd think any HVAC would have focused on the burned wiring simply because of the symptoms and it was obvious nothing was going to work without those repaired. Did the circuit breaker trip stopping the wire short? For a 1992 HVAC system they originally had a heat pump set up? I'd think if the attic unit is 1992...best to replace it all, a new thermostat, disconnect or a switch in attic, line set and condenser. Won't be long and they'll be calling for a blower motor or something else on that 32+ year old. I thought the diagnosis went reasonable, anyone could have thought to check pressures but not likely without a working electrical system for the thermostat and blower.

When using wire nuts, the instructions say to twist until the wires outside of the nut are twisted a few twists. This ensures an electrical and mechanical connection. If you do it this way, you don't see wires poping out of nuts like that. I never seem to see that on A/C videos. Is that because it is low voltage? Why don't you twist until the insulated wire has a few twists as well?

[@redneckways1617]

We’ve ALL done that at one time or another

[@makinbac0n]

Is that 8 gauge aluminum twisted up with copper? I believe your supposed to use special wire nuts for that. Installers probably used standard nuts. That is why it failed. Aluminum expands at different rates than copper causing the connection to become weak over time ending in the result seen here. AL/CU rated connectors should be used or purple wire nuts. Lucky that damage was contained in a metal cabinet or that home could have became a pile of ash. Lol been there done that. Repair the obvious then find a determining factor...

no disconnect and improper direct aluminum to copper wire splicing done, no wonder it burnt up. use some kind of cu/al rated splice/tap connectors or a disconnect as the aluminum to copper junction, most every disconnect is CU/AL rated now days. they make nice insulated splice/tap connectors now, you just strip, insert wire and torque the lugs with an allen key or flathead snap on covers and your done. but honestly, I'd just use the disconnect as the termination point, aluminum in the line lugs and copper out the load lugs to heater, then you can splice copper to copper in them normally or still use lugs since it's larger wire.
