System In A Rough Neighborhood Wasn’t Cooling!

[@brianwaldo2642]

Hey Curtis, you might want to consider backing into driveways when in less than desirable neighbourhoods. In that way those passing by casing out potential victims can’t see what’s inside your van, making it a little less tempting. Anyway, stay safe man.

Its just to alert to people nearby. Security alert really.

Good repair!! Seems like every where you go somebody is after you with a weed whacker 😅. The Bosch units look pretty good and I’ve heard good reports from them.

I've installed about 25 so far they are absolutely worth it. I installed a 3 ton indoor with a 5 ton outdoor with no heat strip. You can safely oversize condensers on these. The customers oil fired combi-boiler didn't need to run heat last winter. Only issues so far is a condenser fan motor screeched to a halt and they tend to run better with dumb thermostats (or at least with cycles per hour set to 1).

[@dashcamandy2242]

1:32 - Sounds like the compressor is in internal bypass? Aha! Condenser fan motor failed. I've been watching too many HVAC videos... Well, if I ever need to make a career change, at least I have some HVAC background! 😆

3:29 it should absolutely be illegal to have dogs chained up. 1st offense $1,000 per dog. 2nd offense $4000 per dog. 3rd offense 6 months in jail. Absolutely disgusting. Like why have on if all you're going to do is leave it outside chained up.

[@j.rcoker9051]

Man you do some areas I wouldn't even park my van in. Life's to short and mines to important to help those that simply don't care.

[@CameronKettner]

I really really wish they would make it so you could choose a suction pressure / saturation temp. The default 47 degree and the accelerated cooling 37 degree coil target temp are both way too high for good humidity removal in humid climates. It would be absolutely amazing if you could select something lower like 33 or 34 degrees to just keep the coil above freezing but wring out as much moisture from the air as possible.

[@brianbower7322]

I have a Bosch 19.5 SEER electric package unit installed a year ago on my Park model home in the Coachella Valley and it has provided incredible comfort in our 120 degree days/90+ nights while keeping my electric bill 25 percent lower than the 14 SEER unit it replaced. I could not be happier with this unit or my service from Blair HVAC.

[@marionmitchell261]

Midea makes Bosch. They are very good units! They also make ACPRO EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS MANY OTHER BRANDS

[@thephantom1492]

IMO, they should make 2 cable outlet options. One on the "front" and one on the "side", so installer can have the option to not block the access panel!

[@Bryan-Hensley]

I'm a little scared of Bosch.. they look so cheap. But I'm going to have to start selling something else because all my distributors are out of heat pumps USA wide. I'm kinda glad to see you installing them.

[@search_eternal]

Not cheap at all. I've put in a couple and they're built nice. The last Bryant I put in half the screws weren't screwed in all the way and some were missing.

Why put in heat pumps at all?

[@patrickinottawa27]

@@2012kia In many areas, it's become code due to energy efficiency. Even in the South, some nights you need a little bit of heat and during the daytime you still need AC.

[@fernandobazan829]

you should have turned the truck around so your not exposed to the street incase you get a DRIVE BY plus have a video camera install 360 on the van running in case you get jumped maybe even borrow one of the fighting pit bulls he raising tie it to the front bumper lol I would not get caught dead in that neighborhood best of luck

[@dwaynestarling8327]

Can you explain fan directions and what you are looking at on fan card orientation. Thanks

[@OnusBones]

There are a couple of pairs of wires coming out of the motor; two orange, two yellow. Connected orange-orange and yellow-yellow, the motor turns in one direction. Connected orange-yellow/orange-yellow, it turns in the other direction. He sets it based on the direction that will have the fan exhaust out the top of the condenser.

[@WallaceRoseVincent]

Thanks Bosch! Do they make r32 systems?

[@HVACGUY]

I don’t think so

[@TofuInc]

BOSH (which includes Johnson Controls brands), Lennox and Trane have all decided to use R454B. Honestly its a silly decision since 454B is a blend that includes R32 and has a lower capacity.

[@MrRupus2020]

I don't think those Ruud condenser are big enough. It seems like you replace more of those than any other brand. Maybe having only two blades isn't enough air flow. JAG

[@jonnohz1]

For the new techs: He talks of "plugs", These are typically plastic in what looks a bit like a lubrication hole, but that's not it - it's for water drainage.. Remove the plug that will be facing down.

Pitbulls should be outlawed

[@OnusBones]

A dog is only as dangerous as its training, or lack thereof. Fifty years ago, Dobermans were getting the bad rap; then it was German Shepherds, then Rottweilers. Now it's pitbulls. They don't look anywhere near as mean if their ears aren't docked; THAT sort of mutilation is what should be illegal.

[@DWNTWN-iu8vf]

Why did you have to say rough neighborhood. Why not label it as you do your other calls. As you would say" I have a no cooling call" Call it what it is! Not where it is!
