@9:00 Story of my life for my newer property.. I just came from one leaky Goodman property to now another leaky Goodman property. I asked the builders of our company if they knew what the definition of insanity was, they didn’t get the joke.

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@HectorGarcia-r5p]

Hey Lex there are usually 2-3 culprits that can actually cause both high superheat and normal subcooling. These are: Too high indoor CFMs. Too high indoor load. Faulty measurement. Hope this helped

[@LexVance]

Right on! Thank you so much for watching!

[@HectorGarcia-r5p]

Your welcome Love your videos!@@LexVance

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Learned something new 3 minutes into the video - great stuff broseph

Man I wish I could be a maintenance repair man but I'm only 14 but your videos are entertaining I like watching you fix stuff

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@nicholasfranklin5355]

No problem

Love the faucet spring trick - nicely done!

[@coastalcarolinarocks]

Compressor nameplate will tell you what cap size it needs

[@LexVance]

So true! Thank you so much for watching!

[@Randylazz]

My man pots and pans another great video! I would agree to remove the one drier as it would act like a double restriction🇺🇸

[@LexVance]

So true! Thank you so much for watching!

[@John-zz5gt]

Thanks Skidmaster sir.

Check super heat at evaporator coil use pressure at condensing unit minus a few psi.Could be picking up heat on long or uninsulated lines.

[@LexVance]

So true!

[@adamrspears1981]

Make sure your suction line thermometer is reading & accurate temp & that its not in direct sunlight or being influenced by the ambient air temp. What is the average suction line temp by the condenser? About 55 degrees? If boiling temp is 40 degrees & suction line temp is 55 degrees, then superheat is about 15 degrees. It seems like the evap coil is starved of refrigerant.

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@adamrspears1981]

@@LexVance I like watching your videos. You have taught me a lot & you are very entertaining, too.

[@adamrspears1981]

@@LexVance If your suction line is warm, maybe its running through an attic or unconditioned space with no insulation. Also, the liquid line temp shouldn't be below ambient temp. If so, suspect a restriction up stream from that spot on the liquid line.

[@ChingusTheOneAndOnly]

Excellent job !

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@natepeterson7145]

@Lex Vance the data tag if not worn out on the fan and compressor will say the capacitor rating.

[@natepeterson7145]

That extra capacitor is bad. He should've put one back in the same spot or relocated it like everyone else does.

[@LexVance]

So true!

[@NETWizzJbirk]

Cleans better when it won't switch to the stream... I don't even check the charge unless he suction line isn't beer-can cold or the top isn't dischargeing heat. I don't like high superheat... Doesn't cool compressors as well. I would overcharge a bit to test +/- 3 degrees of subcool is okay, so try one at 15 deg subcool to see if the superheat drops

[@LexVance]

So true!

[@engineer1793]

Using those Dr Adjustables heh BROtein shake

[@LexVance]

👍😆👍 Thank you so much for!

[@mountainman.4478]

So how offen do you drain or suck out an overflow on an hvac unit. I have one that I go once a month. And there's no obstruction. I flush out the line with the waterheater. Suck the overflow with a dry vacuum? Thanks

[@LexVance]

I do it when they get clogged and the residents report and a float switch issue. Thank you so much for watching!

[@mountainman.4478]

@LexVance I've had to go once a month. For 4 months. Is that normal. I mean I just lift up the flow switch and suck it out. And it's good for about a months, but other units once a year.

[@realSamAndrew]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I hope you're not using a Ryobi !! 😱

[@LexVance]

👍😆👍 Thank you so much for watching!

[@mountainman.4478]

Im in Orlando, what a good company to get my CPO certification? Thanks

[@LexVance]

HD supply or Google Rudy Stankowitz's name who lives in Gainesville. He's fantastic.

@@LexVance thanks bro

[@DaveMak5150]

Ryobi TXVs. 🤓

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@NETWizzJbirk]

Clearly your high superheat is caused by the First Company coils …you don’t have adjustable TXVs do you?

[@LexVance]

No only fixed txvs.

[@NETWizzJbirk]

@@LexVance sorry to hear that

[@chris76-01]

They probably didn't notice the other dryer was in there. Out of sight out of mind. 😂

[@LexVance]

👍😆👍 Thank you so much for watching!

[@phillipgroom9187]

So is the complex replacing any of the evaporators? Or do you just go back and gas and go ? If you have to do this it’s a waste of refrigerant and your time. Good job, thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed day !

[@natepeterson7145]

He replaced evaporators when time allows. Gas and go has to happen when there's too many work orders. It's about tenant happiness. That's how the place gets good reviews.

[@LexVance]

We're slowly going around and replacing the bad leakers.

[@SuperCano1997]

Suction temperature is too high

[@LexVance]

Them rotary compressors run higher than Copeland scroll. They're weirdos. 😆
