There just ain’t NO WAY | HVAC | Amana heat pump low on refrigerant

In todays video, went to a customers house that was experiencing longer then normal run time on their Amana heat pump system. They initially chalked it up to the high temps, because the house would maintain a comfortable temperature, but the run time was significantly longer than usual. So I gushed up and found that the system was low on refrigeration! I did a pretty extensive 30 minute leak search at the air handler and the condenser. Only to find that the shrader cores at been leaking. Topped the system off with 6 lbs of 410a and is running better then ever. The customer noted the difference within 30 minutes at the peak of the day!
Hope y’all enjoyed the video if you could smash that 👍 button and SUBSCRIBE!! Appreciate yall 🫡

Got a heart ablation not to long ago for SVT, was a wild ride. Im currently in HVAC tech school down here in south fl. You're videos are a huge inspiration!

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Hell yeah!! Crush it, glad everything’s worked out for you 🫡 💪

That leak detector drives Curtis crazy.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

😂 it really does hahaha

[@topher8634]

I had my first heart surgery when i was 19. I have a congenital defect called WPW. My heart will go from normal rhythm to 300+ beats per minute. It started when i was in 9th grade

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Dannng!! Hope all is well and going as should for you at this time!! 🙏 that’s some rough stuff

[@Balticblue93]

Good find! The shraeder cores are the first place I start on my leak searches because we find so many leaking plus new caps. Looks like it was pretty low taking 6lbs but seems like straight honest work. I think it is funny people really think those misting systems help. They definitely cause more problems for certain. Hope the doctor results came back well.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

I think that’s a good way I should go about it! I usually start at the evap then condenser, but may just jump to the cores first thing! It’s irritating when those ppl say hvac are scammers all the time and put some crap out like that! Appreciate it 🫡

Stroke at 17!! That is bizarre. Hope all is good, I was shitting bricks when I found out i had a little heart murmur and i thought it was the end already. Has me super worried for the future but, cant change what god gave!

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Yeah was a bit wild going thru it but at 17 felt like it was no thing! Now as I’ve gotten older just taking it more serious. Growing up they always thought I just had a murmur and I was good, turned out it was a hole in my heart 😂

[@oncerunts1913]

@@KoolinwithKrauss holy shit! That’s actually worrying. Might be time to go get a proper check done. I was doing a physical for a job and the pulmonary tech pointed it out.

[@gabegarrett4878]

I got one of those schrader torque tools. After I swap valves I put that on it just to verify!

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

I need to got me one of those! Which one did you get? I keep meaning to grab the yellow jacket one

[@scotts4125]

That sprinkler thing works great! I have 40* coming out of my vents in So. Fl. The only minor issue is it rusted my condenser coil out so I need you to come down to Broward and swap it out for me. :) I really can't believe some of the videos that guy makes. DIY change outs. It's easy anyone can do it. Buy your equipment on the internet and pay some guy on the side to install for you for a 6 pack and large pepperoni pizza.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

🤣 oh man that thing would absolutely wreck havoc down there 🤦‍♂️ but all that’s not taken into consideration when their sent some gadget like that. I saw another “handyman” doing install other day on the tubes. And just talking crap about hvac, but irritating. But people click and watch. I need at least a case and wings to go with it 🤣

[@TravisTravis-cg4bp]

@@KoolinwithKrauss. Yep that’s the negative side of KZbin. As with social media, Some people turn a decent thing into a cesspool. Caulkgun swag sales must be down so let’s find a trade to pick on. Lame……

[@AaronPowellvox]

😂 @18:03 the sprinkler flapper! I have used water to keep a restaurant A/C going for over a week before while we waited for the condenser fan motor to come in. They thought I was a genius

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Now THAT makes sense!! That’s smart and practical!! 💪

[@AaronPowellvox]

@@KoolinwithKrauss I went and bought a cheap water hose and drilled a bunch of holes in it, then zip tied it to the condenser coil. This was like a 20 ton unit. They used so much water but the restaurant stayed cool.

[@scotts4125]

I needed a very simple procedure done. I had a bone spur on my foot. Shout out to Dr. Jaws a KZbinr who did it. He made me get a pre-surgical check. It was a bit odd as it was just a local being administered. My wife does surgical procedures every day and doesn't ask for that. The doc in the box at the clinic tells me I have a heart issue from the EKG and scared the crap out of me. My wife happens to be an MD. She sends me to a well trained cardiologist. He does all kinds of testing and it turns out my heart is ever so slightly turned so one probe on the EKG doesn't receive a good signal. The doc in the box guy actually told me I had a previous undetected MI (heart attack). Thankfully that wasn't the case at all.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Well fudge 😳 that’s wild!! Pretty solid of him like you said to just get a check! Hope all is well! I had a PFO back in the day and they closed it up. Ekg showed fine actually going back for an echo and a stress test. I haven’t been to cardiologist in over a decade!

[@HVACRSurvival]

6 pound leak through the suction Schrader port that’s a pretty good one😂😂😜. Still can’t believe you’re picking on the poor DIY guy.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

🤦‍♂️ now she did say this has been going on since last year, so could have been a baby! But that pos inficon couldn’t pick up a turd in a stall I tell you what. 🤣 dude, come on now? I mean we are the scam artist tho?! Not flapper magee

[@OnusBones]

The drones who installed our system didn't include caps! I bought some myself. A stroke at 17 sounds rough, but fortunately the brain is still quite plastic at that age. Make sure you're getting enough sleep.

Great video. If you don’t mind me asking, when you first got started with your own company, what were some ways that you were able to get leads? Digital marketing or just other apps for home services etc? Great videos thanks!!

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Thanks for watching! So it’s not fully my business, I have equity and am a partner! But fortunately we acquired a business that had been around for quite some time and we were able to just continue operating as that business and keep that client base! Then once we rebranded, it’s been 50/50 because it’s almost like starting from scratch. But we’ve laid into digital marketing pretty good, sent out mailers to existing customers and new zip codes also. Socials have helped and community groups and chambers! A lot of steps with it, we’ve recently done a family bingo night at a restaurant and sponsor a little league!! Kind of all over the place but hope that helps
