Yes it certainly has been “warm” at some point. It’s cooked some of the deadner right off that blanket. That old girl doesn’t owe that household anything. Good luck on the replacement Theodore . 👍👍🇨🇦
My Old YORK condenser AC unit still running after 37 years.... but we have to Upgraded. It was paired with Trane gas furnace and it has been Out/Down for 14 years Already
that seemed like a rather relaxed "buzzing" for a locked compressor, almost like upstream wiring/power supply has been fiddled with, unit only getting 120volts. fan seemed a bit slow, but hard to judge that in video and the other construction noise covered up much of the unit's sound. lol, either way, she's been well cooked and past it's prime.
3:04 I imagine you already dont do this regularly, but I've almost gotten bit by a black widow blindly reaching my hand under one of those panels before!
They rarely bite, unless you try to handle them directly. The venom doesn't bother most people. But, you know doesn't hurt to look first. Could be a snake up in there too I guess.
They would be going from R22 to R410a I presume. That would be likely a better idea in keeping the power bill down...they could select a 16 ish SEER and maybe save a few bucks in summer weather to be comfortable.
I'd hope who ever installed the air handler checked the compatibility if it's a TXV. I've come across so many jobs where they only replaced the air handler and the TXV wasn't compatible with the refrigerant. Home owner should have just opted to move forward with a whole setup in my opinion. I would say rather than retrofitting and swapping out the compressor, it's time for a new unit. I just see a band aid unit wanting to happen if that were the case.
30 years out of an AC unit is more than respectable, its almost impossible with anything made today.
Got that right.....b.c. today's Society is So Greedy AF👎

Valiant soldier spent 30 years on the front lines and finally died on the job.
My Lennox just turned 30. Still rockin strong. It even still has the original capacitor.

before their current conglomerate bought them out, they made a fine product.

Your work and knowledge always good to see.
My Payne heat pump is going on 26 years! Only issues have been a minor leak that required a charge and a capacitor failure. Still going...
This old York has done well Ted, i look forward to the new compressor install if you get the job 👍 Au
I’ve got a 35 year old Carrier AC….still cook’n.

They got their monies worth ...31 years of service
Can't say say you didn't try. Good video 👍 👍
At 6:30 Ted's 3rd hand does a little cleanup while his other two hands tend to the job at hand.
Doctor Teddy says it is DOA that soldier has served honorably for 30+yrs and died on the front lines play taps in respect for its service
Nice work

Just wondering why you didnt remove the side panel to gain access to the compressor instead of removing the fan motor
Is Greenville getting crowded,I hear lots of people moving there?
I could tell that was an old compressor cause it was wearing a depends diaper Hope you get the replacement ... Thx
Gotta spend a little bit more. Job well done Ted
Thx. Quite the basement.
Well, they spent a heap of money on the roof, so the outdoor unit shouldn't sting so bad.
That's Pretty Old. It might be a Leaka Momma.
Why would you cover the compressor in a blanket? at 13:00
The blanket is a compressor noise reduction device.
I’m a technician from Louisiana, and there no reason for it
i like kickstart hard starts better
Dude that compressor has over heated so badly all the oil is burned for sure. Why even mess with it?
Mysterious hand at 6:30
Ain't got no freon so then it has freon in it?
😎👍
