Rate my Scroll Compressor Install (1-10)

[@antoniovallejo337]

As an HVAC contractor I said you did excellent job better the most contractors out there . People sometimes want to be smart ass with all those questions and I bet you they don’t do what they supposed to do great job . I rated you 10/10

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching 😀

[@juntang72]

Nice and clean work with professionalism. Cheers!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks

[@taylorstapp5855]

10/10. Excellent work should last for years. Only complaint is I didn't hear "aw yeah its coolin" at the end. Kinda the equivalent of "that aint goin nowhere" when you strap down that couch in the back of the truck. 😂😂😂

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

haha will be sure to input that next repair :)

[@douglaswatters7303]

Thank you for not killing that spider. I give this install a 11 on a scale of one to ten. (Spinal Tap is a great movie)

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you! Love the spiders :)

[@mrtrenz]

Evening from Aurora, CO...thanks for another great video...10

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Hey thanks for watching neighbor!!

[@phoenixhvac-r828]

Very well done, that's a 10, in fact you should be on the cover of the spring-summer edition of USAirconditioning magazine.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Dang thanks 🙏 😊

[@octaviofigueroafigueroa9794]

Hello. I think your soldering skills have inproved a lot! In you past videos I saw that you used to high temperatures and the pipes become red at almost to a melting point. Congratulations!👏👏

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Hey I appreciate that! one thing I finally did was buy my own torch set so I am used to how it works now :)

[@octaviofigueroafigueroa9794]

👏👏👏👏

[@T-Bone-nk1ng]

At least they didn't pull a Daikin and stuff the filter drier on the ground inside the condenser. Even on their big ones they do that. Just gotta hope you can fit inside the thing lol.

10

[@user-dy6on2ue4e]

What pressures are you setting up your oxy ace ? I Always have hard time to braze on the bottom of the compressor, good job flowing nitrogen too, keep up!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

10 oxy 5 ace 👍

[@brianbray5397]

Compressor install is fine, I can't get over all the sealtite. What kind of inspectors do you have? Absentia?

[@samyz1660]

Excellent work. Pro .

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks a lot! ⚒️⚒️⚒️

[@jamminwrenches860]

Good work. 10 out of 10. I may have poured the old compressor oil out just to see how much is in the system.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks jammin!!

[@marcelofrias7618]

Great job 👏

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you 🙏

[@sheldon8115]

So far very good 👍

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you 🙏

[@benjamintimmins1656]

Did you charge the system while schraders were out, THEN put the cores back in or no? Id give you 9 out of 10. Good job!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I believe here I broke vacuum and weighed in the charge with the shraeders out as its much faster without them in. Then charged the system with them in 👍 Thanks for watching and I'll gladly take a 9

[@benjamintimmins1656]

@ApartmentMaintenancePro ok good. I was gonna say if you put schraders in before adding charge you would of lost your vacuum. Good practices all around. I like how you cut the copper instead of sweating out. 10 out of 10!

[@joseirizarry801]

Nice!!! 10

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you!

[@allenlane5000]

what is the cost difference on replacing compressor vs. the entire outside unit?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Couple hundred dollars with refrigerant on this unit.

[@jstmyers]

Nice!!!!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks! 👍

[@AaronPowellvox]

1 point deducted for not reaming the copper. (Or not showing it) I’d give you a 9 out of 10. Great work bro!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

ahh yes thank you! forgot about that

[@Jason-wc3fh]

So he could get copper shavings in the line to plug things and cause damage? Screw that

[@AaronPowellvox]

@@Jason-wc3fh lol. There is a way to do it without getting shavings in the system. It takes practice and experience though. I’m sure he knows how. He’s good at everything.

[@Jason-wc3fh]

I'd give a 10 but had to drop to a 9.5 because I saw part of the sticker get a tad heated up when you were brazing the filter dryer. I always like to see the schematics diagram in mint condition when I have to service equipment. If that's the only thing I can really complain about, you must be doing something right.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I hear ya, thanks for the reply 😀

[@bobbywanger8123]

👍🔥🍦🍦🍦

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

🙏

[@FrenchBeefCDN]

There are nitpicks you could do different but I 100% bet the factory did a sloppier job than you. 10/10 because I didn’t have to do it.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Appreciate that :)

[@EverythingHVACR]

Gonna have to change your name to HVAC maintenance pro!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

⚒️⚒️ has a nice ring to it lol there are some really good pros out there need a lot more experience to reach their level

[@EverythingHVACR]

@ApartmentMaintenancePro just keep reaching! Real pros never stop learning at any level.

[@abdullah_q8171]

No need to clean the circle with nitrogen ?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I purged nitrogen

[@jimmydavis6846]

just use stay-brite 8 and propane,,,alot easier and no carbon residue in your lines,,

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

NEVER

[@Dan-ger82]

Surprised your an apartment maintenance person doing this. Most maintenance guys I've met can barely troubleshoot a bad capacitor let alone a faulty compressor. I used to unsweat the compressor but it's better to start with new copper. Actually flowing nitrogen also means you're better than most out there. I take it you've got EPA license for refrigerant. I would say you're definitely a deal to some apartment complex if your working for them instead of an AC company.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks Dan ! I've worked for an HVAC company before many years ago 👍

[@Dan-ger82]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro yeah I did AC also. But in Florida it got too much to climb in attics. Some customers could care less about your safety and health if they have to live a day without AC so I left the field. An old neighbor of ours even had the nerve to come ask if my dad could fix her AC when he was on hospice. When we told her he was currently in our living room days away from dying she asked if I could come fix it instead. Unbelievable.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

​@@Dan-ger82 ya I lived in florida doing ac, servicing the Naples FL area, I'm all to familiar with 140 degree attics swapping out evap coils all day. Some snotty people down in those parts

[@Dan-ger82]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I'm on opposite coast by Palm Beach. It's definitely not the natives that ruining this state. I'm ready to leave but stuck due to family.
