good job keeping your buddy in good shape this season! it should be good for another few years. I hope this client has a few more units that are old to keep your pockets well primed!

[@mattagee8104]

Great work Jim ! It never ceases to amaze me how people will spend a quarter just to save a dime ! He should have listened to you and put a new compressor in to start with like you suggested.

[@sbc383zz]

Jim, a hard to find old school mechanic. He's a dying breed. Thanks for keeping us informed.

[@ritewayguy]

Nothing like close supervision. I hope the gentleman takes your safety advice. Another good one.

[@leonbogon148]

Great job-I like the way you retrofitted the unit w neccessary safety controls-really thinking there-when I had time I used to go above and beyond

[@dklucas1]

Great Job Jim You did right telling the customer about the dangerous voltages and not to mess around inside of the unit

[@Pyridox]

You did good Jim. The old Goodman lives to see another season!

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Good job Jim your buddy is happy now.

[@briancerniglia4751]

those micron gauges are very good expect for the way the senor mounts into the plastic vibration or movement can give inaccurate reading. thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with us I always enjoy your videos.

[@hannarye]

Great video Jim. It looked like you were getting ready to shed a tear over your departure from your buddy. LOL Charles

[@hvactecster79]

Good buddies are hard to come by, hope y'all can remain close, lol. Nice job and video Jim !! Take care, Brett

[@bradleymorey]

Nice work Jim, thanks for sharing ,it should last awhile longer now.

[@ernestomeza7493]

Hi Jim, just a obserbacion for loading and adjusting coolant, should be thoroughly clean both condenser and evaporator, so that they were more actual readings of superheat and subcooling. Otherwise very good job. Best regards from Hermosillo Mexico.

[@ayeshataimor8544]

Jim u welding coper tube but u never say how much set the welding torch pressure and any more other safety but you r good men I am hvacr student

[@stevenross7399]

You can calibrate those micron gauges by putting them into zip lock bag and placing in freezer. There are directions on Bluvac website. Great job as always. Thanks for the videos!!

[@JamesPettinato]

+Steven Ross thank you, I had forgotten about that, I'll do that, thanks again

[@stevenross7399]

If you scroll down to where it says calibration you will see calibration procedure. Seems a lot like a Blu vac to me. I don't know. Maybe you're right. yellowjacket.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/eVac-Pro-Manual1.pdf

[@jonathansmith3019]

Great job, Jim. Thanks for posting.

[@harjinder7435]

hey jim you are doing allways good i ,m enjoing your all vedios thank you sir

[@johnisraelhvac2019]

Great Work Jim!! Enjoy your videos bro!!

[@JamesPettinato]

+Israelhvac thanks, how's the little one doing

[@johnisraelhvac2019]

+Jim Pettinato Shes doing great!! Thanks Jim!!

[@hvac01453]

next time you put on a high limit, put it on the cooler side of the high side, namely the liquid line, with a swivel tee you could at your option install a loss of charge pressure switch if you wished to do so, or use the vacant side of the tee ass a side to charge or trouble shoot. Rarely do I use a single port tap when the spare comes in so handy.

[@MrMultitool]

I enjoy Your videos. I am going to try 407c as a replacement.Nice job.

[@victorguerra9232]

is this the same unit u replaced a used compressor?now its a new cmpressor?.....dammm he should of replaced whole unit.....

[@markr5931]

Jim, really enjoy your videos... many of the regular KZbin posters are good but really enjoy / learn from you and the Grey Furnace Man...Can you share a video on how you tapped into the disconnect to get power for your tools... think that would be a good KZbin to share...

[@JamesPettinato]

+Mark R I'm hesitant on that one, I don't want some one getting hurt because of me.

[@markr5931]

Jim, great point... there are a lot of unlicensed viewers and I suspect the potential is significant for someone to get hurt or worst... thanks for the response and we will keep watching for new videos... keep warm...

[@wasimedoo7994]

Very good job keep it up God bless looking forward for more

[@mohmmad223]

good man this mantinanis very good the air condation

[@dcrickerson9775]

Nice work Jim. I enjoyed the video.

[@Kcarviper]

Buy a G5 recovery machine. Great call on the goodman putting controls.

[@JamesPettinato]

I had one, wore it out, it was good, just wanted a new different toy. both good. thanks

[@Gears.and.Gadgets]

Nice work Jim. I think I know why you use an air accyleleneen torch . It is so loud it drowns out the customers talking to you. lol.

[@RobHVAC]

LOL nice work Jim. Hope next time he will actually listen to you and just put a new one in first.

[@eugenekaiser2617]

nice job jim, keep up the good work

[@winkhvac62]

Nice work as always sir

[@jimgalpin2443]

Jim, I'd like to know how long you have been doing this and how you got in the trade? I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate your knowledge and good work habits, it's to bad this doesn't get to the younger generation . I to was in the trade and am in your age group. Hope your doing well and think about retirement , good job I'll continue to watch.

[@harrydickson4575]

Nice work Jim

[@dennisnoone7427]

nice job Jim, after some warranty claimed compressors goodman did start putting hp/lp in their units from the factory. do you think the freeze-stat will be ok outside? store like that do run ac even in a colder ambient and on cold nights it may stay off till it will warm up (may take a few hours because it's insulated) this is just my thought. thanks for the video.

[@thegreatjellydoughnu]

Nice work on the swap. I like how you made it idiot tolerant now to see if they come up with a better idiot.

[@ulyssestrejo]

Nice work Jim, I know ur buddy is gonna hate to see u go lol.. hey since the valves in the compressor broke, you don't have to treat it like a burn out? Flush lines out, and new juice? Just wondering. .

[@hvac01453]

Did you ever have the old OZ Saver reclaimer that would subcool with a flip of two valves? Loud and heavy but effective.

[@rubencastillo9641]

Never sweat out a dryer heat will remove all retaind moyster into system again alwas cut it out 2keep moister in dryer

[@primetime758]

makes zero sense.. if your sweating out your heating up the pipe ..... which will evaporate any moisture

[@cd240v]

Jim your a nice guy, you remind me of my old boss never get excited , mad, nor talk bad about Noone, which is awesome, need more guys like you. But I got to ask you Jim, How did you break the Fluke meter? I've owned a lot of Flukes but never have broken one like that nor have I ever seen one broke like that . Just Curious. Keep classy buddy!!

[@JamesPettinato]

cracks just developed in the plastic, thanks

[@deanmartin1966]

Great video

[@proweddingRO]

Good job Jim

[@amtpdb1]

When you reclaim the freon into a tank, if you put the freon back into the system the tank will not be back into a vacuum state. If you need to use the tank for some other type of freon, can you just put the tank into a vacuum (there should not be much gas if you brought it near 0 in pressure? When you get a tank back when you have it reclaimed, is it in a vacuum state and can it be used for a different gas, or do you have to pull a vacuum on it again or....? I have watched many videos and it has never been mentioned. Just questions I have had. Thanks for your videos. Have a nice week.

[@hvac01453]

no good deed goes unpunished. Who's idea was the used compressor?

[@mp-xt2rg]

Why is there frost building up on the evaporator? Shouldn't you have it set up to maintain a temp above freezing?

[@1515alaro]

Jim l miss your videos!

[@xelaju8]

Me too. I hope he is ok.

[@jmrhvac4542]

it lives good job.

[@drummerdem50]

Great work

[@amtpdb1]

Did you use the reclaim pump to put the gas in and empty the tank down below the suction line pressure or how would you empty the last portion back into the machine? Thanks again for answering my questions.

[@davidharmon8073]

Good job jim

[@goru426]

Why is there no accumulator before the compressor? Also the pressure limit switch should be standard, why is it not there?

[@sydneysouthmechanicl436]

Thanks for the video. Is a propane torch good enough for the soldering work? Does it need oxygen gas?

[@cutabove9046]

I'm curious if you ever tried using stay-brite 8 on all the connections in a system instead of braising?

[@hvac01453]

Reclaimers since about 2000 recover slow and unable to cool the gas without a water tank to cool the gas.

[@ademir-tr7487]

Olá , "Jim tudo bom amigo" vídeos legais nos explica melhor sobre o dispositivo de degelo bi metálico e como posicionou pode ser usado na climatização ar condicionado!!!

[@AlbertoPinoYinoServices]

Hey Jim, let me ask a question, I know you used the stay brite 08 in places where will be damage too much heat, right? so can we use the stay brite 08 for brazing the pipe in the service valve ( in the condenser unit)?

[@JamesPettinato]

sure

[@hvac01453]

Problem!!! as you can see from the video, oxygen is in the system comming through the schraeder, when Nitrogen is flowing, you will have a steady stream of smoke, no standing flame on the schraeder. you have no flow on that piping during the braze… If you try nitrogen purging with standard nitro gauges and a manifoldgauge set, not a flow meter, it will stop (the flow) many times because its not designed to have low flow. If the flow is too much and begins to pressurize the tubing, it will sometimes cause a leak. This pisses of the tech and then its brazed without N. Just saying….

[@kannanroyals6kannanroyals665]

witch country sir

[@wyrtwister4260]

The Stay Brite is 8% silver ? Does it flow more like soft ( tin / lead ) solder ? As compared to a 15% hard silver solder / brazing stick ? You use a flux with it ? Thanks , Wyr God bless

[@JamesPettinato]

+Wyr Twister yes it flows like soft solder, the flux the yellow flux made by Harris, it comes in a red and white container, thanks

[@wyrtwister4260]

Thanks, :-) God bless Wyr

[@2vsixstudios86]

I have a Goodman CPLJ36-1A and was told the compressor was locked up. Since it is a 2004 model and R22 i've been told that the system needed to be replaced. I would like to replace the compressor if possible (and find out why the compressor failed) instead of buying a complete new system. Any advise?

[@JamesPettinato]

the unit is 14 yrs old, they make them cheap, it would be best to replace it, you get all new parts and a 5yr warranty on the compressor

[@2vsixstudios86]

Thanks for the advice!

[@2vsixstudios86]

Bubba Gump I'm going to have a vacuum pulled on it to see if there's any leaks and go from there.

[@richardflowers9982]

Hey Jim have you used any 407c to top off a r-22 system that's say a lb. low. Your thoughts Please! Thanks

[@JamesPettinato]

no way ! 2 different chemical formulas, just take thew R22 out and charge with R 407c

[@richardflowers9982]

+Jim Pettinato thanks for info

[@primetime758]

your theory is incorrect with slugging .. that's not the reason the compressor failed.. yes an iced up coil will cause slugging.. but don't forget this is a dome compressor and they with stand a huge amount of slugging.. what really happen is a lack of lubrication.. which is usually caused by the high side..

[@raganoheatingacinc.4643]

Is R-407c a replacement for R-22?. Does it use the same oil?

[@arniegrote319]

+Ragano michael You can use it if the compressor has Polyolester oil in it.

[@nitavixen]

+Ragano michael - you can use 422D. Drop-in...... 30% less charge than R22.

[@cd240v]

I meant Mr. Jim. sorry!

[@alialsaqqal7625]

the bad thing he was doing is burning crops ...............

[@hardcooling]

Happy ending this one

[@victorguerra9232]

not u the owner but u told him but he waned to save money!!!

[@michaelhaiden6718]

That coil needed washing

[@bababooey7576]

[@ernestomeza7493]

Hi Jim, just a obserbacion for loading and adjusting coolant, should be thoroughly clean both condenser and evaporator, so that they were more actual readings of overheating and undercooling. Otherwise very good job. Best regards from Hermosillo Mexico.
