Typical HVAC unit LEAKING refrigerant & How I Fixed it.

[@zahedaminullah6934]

Good work, good camera locations, clean work,step by step and not rushing, truly Quality work!

[@dgapp76]

Nice job man. Microchannel coils...good heat transfer but if you look at em wrong they leak 😄

[@davidpetetsen3744]

Nice video including mistakes we all make it happens great job as always

[@walterrifle2725]

I love watching your videos. you’re definitely a knowledgeable technician. Why not use like a welding blanket instead of that putty?

[@sergeipro3642]

Thank you for the best quality video. Everything is pretty clear for understanding

[@topher8634]

If your recovery tank is used and has oil in the bottom of it, that will affect the vacuum. Especially if it's contaminated.

[@prodbyhostile]

Yes it will spit the oil from the tank out the vacuum. Not the end of the world but then you should dump the vacuums oil and refill. If you know the tank has contaminated oil you should only use it to recover refrigerant that you don’t plan on reusing and mark the tank ‘burnout’ I always vacuum new tanks too it’s good practice so you know it’s clean and you can reuse the refer you pull.

[@Justbecause01]

Great job man, I like your equipment

[@UncleEarlHeatingAirCondition]

Nice content as always, good you showed errors thet we all make, real life experience.., thank you...

[@williamgildea8348]

Once again another nice job. Done right. Let’s do some work

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

This was very interesting all the way to the end. Thanks.

[@terrygrant8126]

Another satisfide customer!

[@markbowker5936]

GREAT JOB! THANKS FOR EXPLAINING WHY YOU DO THINGS THE WAY YOU DO 😎

[@josemartinez-jt6tw]

Im 82 career of refrigeration, i never purged nitrogen and ive never had a problem at on service calls. I used to purge on new installs

[@bnasty267]

Less of an issue with older R22 or simple orifice or TXV systems. Modern systems, especially with an electronic expansion valve, are risky if you don't purge. There are some good vids on YT that show the crusty junk that can get on the inside of the lines without purging. A chunk of that ending up in the EEV would break it.

[@josemartinez-jt6tw]

@@bnasty267 ive done plenty of expansion valves aswell im talking literally over 50 and yea never had one go out on me that ive replaced but i hear ya new practices for the you g bucks

[@robertdavenport9095]

You have very fortunate and you probably braze fast too. If you don’t purge though at some point your gonna oxidize and plug up your expansion valve

[@grantstockland2499]

Awesome video. Next leak check video, can you go through every minor detail as well?

[@Mareloko41]

Surprised you braced it instead of using your famous RLS system - I wonder why is that (I’m not a hvac tech, but I’ve following your channel, I’m likely to go to hvac school soon) (yes, your channel is definitely telling me to go for it 😎). Thanks. Cheers.

[@ryangisabum5576]

Highly recommend you do, I’m in HVAC-R school currently and the best thing about it is the experienced teachers who want their trade placed in good hands , they are definitely making my experience there 100Xs better

[@camenma9748]

thank you for sharing your knowledge, i really appreciate it

[@alexpaul9055]

I don’t get why people always wait to put a bend in the braze rod til they already have the torches lit. Like bro it’s not that hard to bend 😂 quality work though brother, I always try to keep your processes in mind when I work.

[@robalexander7348]

Nice neat job Zac, well done 👍 Au

[@andreeriner811]

Did they not give you a new txv with that coil? It’s funny how sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. They ought to give a dryer and txv with that coil.

[@UnbornHeart2020]

cant believe i found this only a few days ago an i have already watched everything T.T, when i have the money to pay for the trade school i know what my next job will be

[@dylanhanbury3750]

join the union bro free school

[@brandontower3527]

You’re the man thanks for the content I need the study

[@matthockman]

Awesome videos man

[@mattflorence6060]

Nice work!!! Question......what is that pouch that you have on your side and who makes it????

[@joedixon8804]

That vacuum pump manual actually says close ballast at 3k microns. But do you bro especially if it works. Fellow journeyman in central ky

[@familyofthenorth7593]

Great video and perfect process.

[@L8NiteCoffeeSips]

How could you not be a great tech if you don’t make mistakes

[@brianbrannanHVACTech]

Because he isn’t a tech lol he’s a brand promoter

[@woodystokes1543]

Good work 😊

[@mrpmaniac]

since your not using the recovered gas and its below 2 lbs what will you do with it? keep using tank recovering or reclaim it?

[@christianbearden9131]

So cool. I work on the mechanical part of refrigerated railcars for the railroad. I only do filters, starter, batteries water pumps and all that. I'm studying to get my 608 universal. All this is so confusing, but I'm wanting to get into residential HVAC for a side job and maybe opening up my own business one day like you. Do you have any advice for me?

[@trevorleger4839]

im pretty new to the trade and havent been told what you do if you recover refrigerant and dont put it back to the system. is that when you bring it to a reclaiming site and they make it new again??

[@trahvac94]

Reclaim or burn it

[@SJJtech]

I heard someone say turn your recovery tank upside down and pull in thru the vapor line specifically. Apparently it’s a really fast recovery method. Have you tried?

[@Jumpoutdre]

Thank you brother!

[@Ankou2020]

What happened with the wireless vacuum gauges?

[@bagtube]

Why the video edit at 5:35 wanted to see it come apart. 😞 What kind of Magic is this? LOL! 6:41 Awesome Slid right out. Love watching your videos. Thumbs Up.

[@arodandjeter1]

Good repair👍

[@keenanwalker6597]

I wish my area had more residential package units there so nice to work on. I have only come across 1 in a residential setting before. Otherwise it’s all commercial.

[@Marco-sy9sw]

Hey awesome video, I see that you have not put back the refrigerant that you had recovered because its a blend, have you ever had a problem with this in the past? I tend to think that as it is mixed you should not lose one part more than the other..

[@Josh-px6xb]

If you’re recovering a small amount of refrigerant , with that kind of repair, might as well recharge with fresh refrigerant. Technically, he could’ve put the refrigerant back in as long as it was put in as a liquid.

[@dilloncolon9883]

Very informative thank you very much.

[@asmrrainandcalmingsounds5650]

I was wondering what the little line had to do with the big line 🤔 maybe relieve pressure?

[@thesilentonevictor]

Cool reinstall zack

[@zurikin]

@Quality HVACR i'm investing in some digital gauges. was wondering if you could either do a video, or straight up recomment a brand. after some homework, i settled on yellow jacket, testo and field piece. any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

[@mooresville2566]

i’m a huge fan of my field piece gauges. i got the SMAN 480 but i would recommend getting the 380 as i never use my vacuum port on my gauges.

[@Haas1997]

I personally use the testo 550s. I like that it has a smaller footprint than the rest. It’s very accurate and I haven’t had any problems from it

[@sethwilbanks8355]

I personally use Testo 557s. Great set of digital gauges.

[@zurikin]

i'm starting to think theyre all great. its all about which colour do you want 🤣field piece will match my dewalt black and yellow theme 😎😎

[@dgapp76]

SMANs are great and what I use (Testo and Yellow Jacket too) but... had issues with almost every single set. Manifold bleed thru, funky intermittent micron gauge (have to clean periodically but still acting up), wireless connection issues, one had weird intermittent pressure readings until you "tap" it. 1000 bucks with hoses and wireless temp probes, it had better perform. I always keep spare hoses, gauges (even analog), various low loss fittings, etc on the truck. Redundancy is the word. Not cool to be stuck with faulty equipment on a job and have to pull off. Good way to piss the boss off!

[@gregdemars2751]

Great job 😊😊

[@tomwardzala4240]

Looks great

[@maness2112]

On the nitrogen leak check why no soap bubbles?

[@OcRefrig]

if Pressure does not change in 15 minutes / Systems tight !!! Why use bubbles right off ?

[@maness2112]

I dont want you working on my refrigeration. Lol. Guages arent that accurate. There isnt a guage out there that can detect a 1/4oz per year leak pressure drop in 15 minutes. ​bubbles dont lie. @OcRefrigeration

[@clentcliffordespera3892]

How to brazzing radiator condenser coil, im interesting for that.

[@allanbrito13]

Is there something wrong with letting the copper cool down naturally vs using a wet rag? What's the difference?

[@MdRakib-yu7px]

Nice job

[@mxcollin95]

Nice work! Any chance you do service calls in California? Lol

[@NeoB-Lac]

Damn that looks like the same coil as my jeep ...😳😳😂😂

[@onesix7099]

What’s a job like this take you to film and finish

[@tbone6354]

A good idea is to add 50ml of sulphuric acid to the compressor before regassing to reduce corrosion

[@HvacGregG]

Good video

[@steven4776]

Those particular coils are bad about leaks. I wouldn’t be surprised if a class action was filled against Rheem.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello and thumbs UP!!

[@metzemog9181]

Hydrate yourself when doing hotworks under any environment for safety

[@mohmmadmohseni8404]

Perfect 👍

[@Dari667]

Hi, where you from?

[@calex9398]

Nice man

[@caru3257]

Two days in a row, I have found a leak. One with nitrogen and one due to all the oil pooling by the bulb.

[@alg1790]

Microchannel evap and condenser coils 🗑️

[@venvnco6259]

Had a Ruud 22 years never did anything to it never had a gauge on it. got a new Ruud 3 years ago At 2 years fan motor went out and like most other people at 3 years I have a leaking coil. Ruud today is total junk.
