Excellent fix curtis Riley is growing up fast.👍
Sure is!
That's a nice repair Curtis 👍 Au
Another great job 👍👍
Thanks again!
Hey Curtis
I enjoy your videos. You may like a clear or tinted face shield while brazing from above inside those condensers. Thanks!
Great job Curtis.
I enjoyed the Video, thanks!
I modified a couple of my adjustable wrenches that wouldn't open quite enough. Take out the setscrew and turn the thumbwheel until the movable jaw comes out, put it in a Vise then get a hacksaw and cut another slot in the jaw to get another turn on the thumbwheel. I could get them to open another 1/8 to 3/16 wider and it doesn't hurt the wrenches. Crescent, Xcelite and Diamond.
Looking forward to your next Video! 👍🇺🇸
You shoulda just bought a metric adjustable. 😂😂😂😂
Great video Curtis!! Looking forward for next one , keep up the great work.
Quick question if anyone cares to answer. Two rooms on the sunset side of the house. Multiple HVAC companies have some out and said no issues. These rooms are consistently hotter in summer and cooler in winter. They are closest to the attic mounted air handler. Usually a three degree difference between these rooms and the rest of the house.
If I understand you right, it could be they are not as insulated? It only stands to reason also if they are smaller rooms, they usually will heat or cool off quicker than the rest. Try leaving the doors open to get a good circulation going and see if that helps. Also make sure you have an inch or so of space between the floor and the bottom of the doors. That way you have some circulation when the door is closed. Hope that helps
@jthonn insulated the same as the rest of the house. Doors are usually open. One of two returns is in hallway between the rooms.
It's z du t issue.
Being closer to unit. Means placement on supply plenum. If eacr room has it's own tap. Try and relocate the two taps.
Check for dampers. Some installers close off the first few taps to allow more air for for longer lines.
@wendelfears1027 No dampers, the airflow from the registers has been checked to be in spec. I asked about blower fan speed being too high, never got a good answer.
I have two closed registers in a closet and storage room that I am thinking of relocating to these rooms.
Being the load side of the house..should have a higher r factor of insulation by at least 2or 3. Check the inner wall for insulation.occasionally spots get missed and that causes a big loss when cooling and heating. Considering heat load transfer thru walls.
Nice save on the compression fitting Curtis . Pretty crappy that the new replacement coil doesn’t have a drain pan attached. 👍👍🇨🇦
Your amazing at putting all those hats on and no help. Good job. Note I would recommend using wet rag or heat block blankets when you’re brazing next time and all the time. And get a little more feather in your torches flame, less oxygen.
Wait wait I got this one ..... NOTHING CAN'T STOP 🛑 A Trane except a Compressor or EVAP Coil and it gets even Harder to start the Trane!!!!!!
There is a Trane product made overseas that was designed to compete with lower cost contractor-grade units.
OxBox, uses LG compressor. I've had one for 2 years and have had 0 issues. Longevity i'm not so sure on.
@@1982deleteriusthat’s ameristar. But they’re the same thing. POS. But hopefully you have good luck with yours
Built by Midea in China for Trane.
@@1982deleteriusbe careful with those LG Compressor even the Refrigerator Lines were Suite back in 2020 most of them were Junk Compressor how do I know I got some money back from Them..😅
It's made by Midea, a Chinese company. It's the same company that makes Bosch heat pumps
Nice work as usual. I like your co-star.
Thank you very much!
Curtis we gotta get you some new jeans brother!!!!
i like your work, you just got a new subsciber.
That system looks just like Bosch stuff. Probably made in the same factory in China. Great job.
For a natural bug repellent try lemongrass,peppermint and tea tree oils. You can spray your arms or moisten a cloth and wear it around your wrist or neck.
It was originally called Ameristar. I’ll call them Ameri junk.
I agree !!
I have two Ameristars. Obviously a different model. Both are still working great after 17 years. Did just have to replace the blower motor on one.
Thanks for sharing, picked up some tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I live in the central Indiana area, north of Indianapolis. I have a seven-year-old trane heat pump and the water has started dripping off the evaporator coil and down into the base of the heat pump. Not all of the water is dripping down the coil and into the drip pan along the edges… it is gripping straight from the A coil, straight downward. This is very frustrating! I have had multiple HVAC companies out here to look at it. One said that I need to replace my drip pan so I basically told them to get lost because that’s certainly not the problem here. Another company came out and replaced the drip pan drainage pipe and then said they are at a loss they don’t know what to do. So I am stuck! I have called trane corporate and given them my information and no one has gotten back to me yet. It’s very frustrating, I have a 10 year warranty on parts but nobody can tell me what’s really wrong here. Do I need a new A coil? At this point, I don’t really know. They repair man have checked the pressure and said that it’s correct so I don’t believe that low refrigerant is the issue. I’m at a loss and I’m frustrated.
Those Tranes must be made by Norfolk Southern as often as they go off the rails
This is what is called a play on words; very creative.
Is that Tranes Yugo model, AmeriTrane.
Too bad they didn’t call you earlier in its life. Running with 0-5 SH for
extended?time not good for it. Glad you caught the piston
you could check delta ,if you do not have 18 it needs a bigger piston,or you could have look at the #,thanks for sharing.
You caught it anyway and a mighty moderate co-star! Blessings 2 yall
Often wondered 🤪 who can Afford a TRANE HVAC Unit ? The same people that buy a Cadillac Escalade ?
If you use Emory cloth on the lines before you cut it you won't get anything in the lines
Hi Curtis, When you recover refrigerant from the evaporator with the condensing unit are you likely to also get ambient air from the evaporator leak? Thanks for answer
Nice job! Reily is getting big.
Also Curtis how long was the original coil installed?
Ameristar isn't from the Trane line. It's distributed by Ingersoll Rand which own Trane. It's just a cheaper option meant for rentals and hotels. Don't get me wrong, they are hot garbage. It's funny to see the outside box. Ameristar made in China. I sold Trane, Ameristar, & Mitsubishi mini splits for years at Lyon Conklin a subsidiary of Ferguson.
Those aren’t made by Trane btw. Made in China by Ingersoll Rand. While Ingersoll Rand owns Trane they brought this product with them before Trane
Mexico really.
The land of no inspectors, IPA, or labor unions.
Excelent job Mr Curties
Hey Curtis; where that tool list I heard about?
Great job btw. Also, do you have a favorite mini split?
No drain pan Unbelievable. I think I need to clean my vacuum gauge. I think I would of done a hot swap on that orifice.
Is Lt. Reilly a pointer; and what specific type. All I've ever had is hounds, so I'm just guessing. 😎
Weimaraner I think
Aww ye ol’ ox box
Does Schrader intentionally design Defects into their Valves so they have a Guaranteed Revenue Source ? 🤪 They are Tops as far as Failures go. 🤔👎
Hi Curtis, you got tricked by the old piston deal you always check the piston size to make sure that it’s not the same size if it’s not then you always use your old piston that you removed out of your old call into your new call just goes to standard reason, but it’s been designed that system has been designed with that particular with that particular system in it I guess you know that by now I’m just kind of pulling your leg. It happened to me before too so you say it’s all part of the text stuff signing out for 20 years retired now Tallahassee. Fred.
Absolute garbage units. Trane dealer I worked for sold them for about 2 years and stopped. The heat pumps go through defrost boards and sensors like crazy. Units are trash and not worth a dime.
i love the swaging tools for the drill they are great
Noticed that you were wasting short peaces of your silver soider weld the short piece on the copper and then weld the full rod on the short rod then continue to weld the short piece on the copper no waste of silver solder
What company makes the best natural gas forced hot air furnace. Also the best central air conditioner? Thanks
Carrier
@@bymarkhvac64 thanks 😊
The brand that is installed correctly!
Just curious, why you chose not to use an uncased coil with TXV/TEV instead of this with piston?
The old coil was a piston, the replacement coil came with a piston. Pretty self explanatory
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it's getting harder to find coils uncased.
Yes, it has gotten hard to find.
Oxbox? How old was the evaporator
Hi Riley
Don’t see you measuring the inside wet bulb ? How do you know what the super heat should be 😊
Trane is making a lot of junk plastic air handlers i retired from HVAC seem like a lot of coil failures leaks.
Coil swap on a tran😂
The new coil didn't come with a piston??
It might not be a good habit to put your torch tip on the gas hose of your acetylene torch.
great video tech, what hoses do you have?
Oh man I never like to pump down R410A... That's risky... I have seen way too many compressor explosions so I rather recovery it
Nice work. What was with the original coil?
Leaking
I've done work on those units. It's a trane but more like a bosch.
Is that a Oxbox by Trane
If you add Vitamin K with Lecithin to your diet.the mosquitoes and bugs will leave you alone😊
What did HVAC techs do 50 years ago without all these fancy gauges, it’s like Chinese mathematics.
Went 2 local trane dealer and looked at those and thought nope
Hi curtis !!!
What's up?
@HVACGUY not much !!! I will be in a attic all next week
@@Hvac-dudebe careful
@@HVACGUY I will I'm bring ice water and a cooler of Gatorade with me and fans
@Hvac-dude get a camel back and fill it with water
yes they sure should have sent you a full assy
If you caught it you caught it…wow.
Hard to believe Trane puts their name on this stuff 🤦🏻♂️
So much for fancy coated coils too…
Have you tried using Milwaukee M12 tubing cutters?
Yes
😊😊👍👍
When checking at the condenser charge only with subcool. The superheat only has to be between 4-24°. If you check you auperheat inside then your superheat will be 10-30° different inside than outside. This a common mistake in residential refrigeration. So charge the condenser to its nameplate subcool and the check your superheat inside. 6 inches feom your valve. Then adjust your valve accordingly. In commercial most times you will not have a subcool to read so you charge theough superheat. Hope you learn
Ok, now, why did you not take the corner shield off first???? Just thought id ask. Lololol.

OXBOX by gosh! Synonymous with garbage.
