Just an FYI on the TXV. The sensing bulb should be installed as close to the exit and schrader port as possible. So, it should be installed on the exit copper portion of the coil and you can do that if you braze with the cover off and then install it. Installed like you have it, you are not sensing as the suction exit - by the schrader which is what you want to do. You won't be getting the correct temp on the sensing bulb installed lower like you did. You can still do it all inside the unit and this will give you a perfect balance because the pressure port and temp sensing bulb at very closely co-located, which is what you want. This is an FYI for anyone else who watches this and installs a goodman like this - put the bulb right at the exit on the copper just past the schrader port, but still inside the unit.

Installing Goodman is smart. It is less expensive to buy than Trane, Carrier and Lennox and most parts are either on the truck or a trip to the supply house. The other brands have pro priority parts and can take a few days to get inter branched to your local supplier and are more expensive. A quality installation is a must. Get the highest seer rating you can afford for the ac and stick with an 80% furnace. The higher cost of 90 plus furnaces are more expensive to repair and take a long time to get back the cost in energy savings.

Why did you cut 1.5 inch off of the plenum to slide the coil? Now there’s a big gap between the coil and plenum and only securing it with metal tape. Sucks for the person that has to come back to replace the furnace only cuz that coil has a high chance of falling.

I will be switching out my home heating/ac next spring. I have an old system, the ac is 1968 sears unit and furnace is probably a little newer but not much. The evaporator coil is in a huge box above the furnace that handles all of the outgoing ductwork. How do you handle a situation like that? Just change out the evaporator coil itself and not the box? I will definitely be signing up for the patreon a month or so before I make the purchase and start planning it out. Thanks for all of the great detailed videos.

@diyhvacguy
@diyhvacguy 2 жыл бұрын
I would have done a piston if it was up to me, but I quoted this customer a 16seer system, and the txv is needed to achieve 16 seer. The efficiency increase is minimal, not worth it in my opinion, but that’s what they wanted so that’s what we did. Txv’s are good, I just prefer the fixed orifice personally :) thanks for watching!

Why did you fold down the flanges on top of the furnace? Aren't they there to keep the matching coil case secured to the top of the furnace? I'm pretty sure when I did my Goodman 4 years ago that's how it went together and I definitely know I didn't fold anything down like that. Also, here's a tip. Start your screws on the bulb strap from the top next time. That will make it much easier to tighten. But actually, do not connect your steel TXV bulb to the aluminum on the evaporator coil. These are 2 very dissimilar metals and create galvanic corrosion between them. The TXV instructions show to connect it to copper either inside the coil casing or outside the coil casing, but you must connect to copper, not aluminum. Over time there's a good chance corrosion will develop on the aluminum coil due to steel on aluminum and a leak will occur. Steel to copper is way more compatible and should last the life of the unit.

What's the theory of running nitrogen while braizing? I did residential appliance system work with just acetylene for 40 years so watching was a "what the heck ? " moment. All of those fittings on the evap. looks like potential leak sources. My 18 year old Rheem coil had nothing like that when I installed it. Nothing external on mine but refrigerant lines. Thanks for video.
@diyhvacguy
@diyhvacguy Жыл бұрын
Yea they wanted a higher efficiency system. I prefer the standard piston metering device instead of the txv that you saw on the Evap coil. The theory on the nitrogen is that if you braze without a nitrogen flow, it will creat soot inside the lines that will mix with the refrigerant. Supposedly it wasn’t a big deal with r22 but it is with 410a. That’s what they say. I have another video on Staybrite 8. An awesome alternative to brazing and no nitrogen flow is needed because soldering takes way less heat then brazing. Check it out! Cheers

Loving your videos, thank you for sharing the professional knowledge. I've been doing DIY hvac to install my own heat pumps in AZ for many years. I always thought it was critical to isolate below 500 microns and monitor 10 or 15 mins of decay to make sure it does not rise too much. Do you not need this in any situation? Did you not do this because its a new unit?

You actually can solder them but you must use Stay Brite 8. I’m in the process of creating a video on how to solder linesets and will be posting that before this spring when a lot of brazing will be happening. The Staybrite 8 has been field tested and is actually stronger then brazing, but requires the use of flux which some people don’t like. Brazing melts the copper together actually fuzing them, whereas soldering fills the joints. Stay tuned for the Staybrite 8 video! There are a few out there, but the guy Steven Lavamoniere here on KZbin has been using it for 30 years and won’t use anything else.

I had a company come out and put in a Goodman because I'm going through American home shield which I would tell everybody to run from. This is the second AC I've had to buy in 3 years because the first people just totally ripped this off. Didn't even change the air handler and lied about the size. It was a 2 and 1/2 ton when it was supposed to be a three-time. Anyway, where I'm at now is the technician that put in the Goodman left rags bolts, wires all kind of stuff. So they've already had to replace three parts on that AC and it was only 3 months old. Should I have my whole system replace seeing that I paid for a brand new unit which already has had to have three parts replaced and I know this company definitely was trying to rip us off over mastic saying oh we never even had any that's why it's not getting cool like my 20-year-old system was. When I got a second opinion I had mastic so they could have been lying about the three parts. Their place who knows. Anyway, I do know the rags and stuff are left in it because of different technician showed us. So there's other problems the issues I'm having now that we know the mastix fine. The ducting is fine and has been retaped no tears, no holes. Nothing. This guy from a different company says sounds to me like it's your mindset. Yep that's it and it needs to be replaced. However, like I said after it got put in I forgot to say it froze up about nine times when I said quit sending out the same people especially after especially after finding out that they were lying about mastic. So the air handler froze up about nine times. So we said send a new person out. They were saying it's the line set that needs to be replaced but because they put the word access the company does not want to pay for it. When he said it would be a simple fix you move the air handler have one person at the other end because ours goes underground. Push the old one through. Pull the new one in put air handler back and put two and a half pounds of refrigerant back into the system. However, the company now doesn't want to pay for it because of the word access even though he is expressed that it doesn't mean he has to tear up the concrete or anything like that to get into it. And now the company that's doing it doesn't want to take off the word access even though American home shield said as long as they just take off that we will pay for it. So this is where I'm stuck and they're expecting me to pay $1,000 to have this line set because he just thinks it. I have not seen any tests. Nobody has test each vent in my home.. therefore, they don't even know I have a reader myself, so I know it was a 12° difference from the air handler to my bathroom from in the air vent. I know it shouldn't be that. So question is $1,000 just to replace a line set a line set? By the way, that has never even been tested, I guess going off of a guess. Is this a fair price and is this something we could just do ourselves? Also, do you believe that I should if I have to get a lawyer and get my whole system replaced after? I feel like they probably broke those parts even if they were broke at all because I caught them in a lie. Have proof of the LIE. Should I have the whole thing replaced? Sorry about the long message. Just hoping you guys out there could put yourself in my shoes + seeing I'm not rich. I need some good advice. Thanks guys. God bless

No the vacuum is to remove any moisture and oxygen from the lines. Then when you introduce your refrigerant into the pipes, you are going from a vacuum to positive pressure. No air or moisture should ever enter those lines.

Hi, I have so much trouble running youtube on my ipad. I appreciate the responses to my hvac questions. I now know that my 1987 Tecumseh AV 168ET 005 Compressor runs but has stopped compressing the R22 freon. Do you have any ideas on how to replace or rebuild it? Thanks, Steve

It’s a pretty technical job. If your compressor is just locked up, it can be replaced by itself. If it had a burnout it might be better replacing the whole system. If you aren’t sure just google compressor burnout

Not really. They’re specialty tools but even if you were to buy the tools and resell them you’d be in it a lot cheaper then paying a company. You can also do everything up to the brazing and vacuum procedure and just have a small HVAC company do that last portion for relatively cheap and that way you don’t have to buy a vacuum pump, brazing tanks, nitrogen etc. etc.

Quick questions.... In a central AC unit, I know you can braze, but I'm drawn to the pro-fit connectors even though they are pricey as a one off since they seem to be idiot proof. I've also seen compression fittings used....but the tool seems to run at least $1000. On mini-splits, flare fittings seem popular. Can you also do flare on conventional AC like Goodman? Also, soft solder...Staybrite 8 I think with minimal flux. Any thoughts. Brazing seems like it can be screwed up.
@diyhvacguy
@diyhvacguy 2 жыл бұрын
With anything other then brazing you are taking a risk, many people won’t do anything but brazing but I’m open to other alternatives. The zoomlock and rls fittings do require a tool that’s more like 3k which isn’t an option for most DIYers. They do have the push to connect fittings similar to shark bite fittings, most don’t trust them but I’ll install them on the next install I do and document everything! Another gentleman said that he only uses solder and flux and it doesn’t need nitrogen since it’s much lower heat. I’m going to look into that also and maybe give that a try sometime! Anyways thanks for the questions, it gives me something to try on the next install and if there is success then I can recommend it to diyers like yourself. Thanks for the support! Cheers

They come pretty dialed in on the gas pressure. I haven’t had a single one that was way off on the gas pressure. $500 sounds reasonable for an inducer replacement if that’s the part and labor.

Can I please ask you another question? I have a Lenox system about 6 years old that is still under warranty. The system is not getting cold at all. At first, I thought it was low on freon but I didn’t see any ice buildup on the system. I called the CO and they inspected it. They told me that the system needs freon which is not under warranty and I have to pay out of my pocket. I plan to charge the freon tomorrow. I just wanted to run by you to see why this system is low on freon but there is no ice buildup?
@diyhvacguy
@diyhvacguy 2 жыл бұрын
A system that is low on Freon will freeze the evaporator coil because the pressure at the low side gauge correlates to a temperature, when it gets too low, that temperature readout gets below 30 deg and the ice will eventually just block the air handler from blowing any air at all. You must have SOME temperature drop from your return air to your supply vents if it’s low on Freon but not freezing. It doesn’t necessarily have to be freezing to be low. Your pressures on a hot day should be around 150-170 on the low side and 300-315 on the high side. If it’s not super hot those numbers will be a little lower. Hope this helps!

@@trucle1859 Does it have a txv? If so you would measure the subcooling. If it has a piston, measure the superheat. Typically you want about 10-12 degrees of superheat, and around and the same for subcooling. If there is no heat coming out of the condensing unit like above the fan when you get started, and after you pump it up to around 150 low, 300 high and you get some hot air coming out, you know the condenser is working now. It should always be blowing warmer then ambient air out of the condenser. Email me for a quicker response tomorrow if you need help. Stojicrepair@gmail.com

I have an EVAP coil on top of my furnace but have never had a/c. Why would that be and do I need to replace it with my furnace or just get rid of it? Thx
@diyhvacguy
@diyhvacguy 2 жыл бұрын
Alot of new construction they will put the evap coil on top of the furnaces and run the lineset, so if in the future it is desired, it is less work. However, if it is an old furnace with the coil attached, more then likely it is designed for r22, you can read what refrigerent it takes on the stamp on the front of the coil. So if it says r22, you will have the replace it with a new one anyways. I just recently did this for a customer. System had a coil from 2008, never used. And lineset and electric for condenser, but nothing was finished, so I installed a new condenser and replaced the evap coil with a 410a coil, connected my lines and electrical and it was in business! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Cheers
