This is probably my favorite repair Dave...saw this on Jim P's channel a few years back...had an opportunity to do the same... customer loved it! No more hassles! Nice job buddy! Loved this one! Super Informed
Getting old is a frame of mind. I will be 64 in April and this HVAC service and repair will not stop me. I also drive truck during the day and HVAC after work.
9° differential! 😱😱 nicely done, I enjoy converting Beacon 1 & 2's to mechanical. I can't believe they set that condensing unit out in the elements without a dog house. That's crazy
I lost one off my restaurant once. Here in SO Cal along the coast we get gale force winds during storms. The self tapping screws don't work so well after being removed several times. I must have been lazy after cleaning the coils and didn't secure it very well. Lucky I didn't kill somebody. Now I have my refer guy put in the heavier gauge ones with all nuts and bolts.
@@daveh681 see, this is exactly the kind of feedback HVAC/R techs and others need! as a side note there's nearly **zero** excuses for the stuff to not last 5 to 10 years untouched from date of install, other than chinesium cheaping out on component manufacturing. who wins in the end? not the USA............. lame typos lol
Beautiful repair. Is that a swag preview with the coffee mug? You should create a shirt or a hat that looks really official with "Super Tech" on it. I can think of a few fans that would buy it.
They could get colder temps & more reliable temps on that air curtain case if they put that ranco sensor in the evap. set to 15 degree's and a 24 degree diff. probably / might not even need defrost clock anymore. maybe one Night defrost for 15 minutes as a precaution since its there allready.
OcRefrigeration,Hvac & Electrical. To much work for a no issue at this time. Whoever set it up has it working in that location. Also in summer time there’s no air conditioning at that store, I have a feeling that’s why it’s set up like that. 👍
For an indoor unit, that sucker's clean, clean, clean!! 😉🤣🤣🤣 No ductape?!!? 😱 Shocking. Nice work Dave. Nice detail on the work. Way to make that turd a happy camper! Keep us posted on how that box holds up. Mine keep breaking moments after packing 'em. I'm looking for a decent sm. parts box. Nice cinematography again!!! Loved the travel montage! Interesting and just the right length. Well done Super Dave!!!
Hey brotha I just got one of these 5 hp and I turn it on and everything works but the controller doesn’t. It doesn’t turn on at all what should I do? What would it be? I just pumped 404a and electric done right and I’m in LA
Dave, do you ever have a issue with the unit not staying pumped down due to the unit equalizing through the scroll compressor, I have had to wire a time delay to the contractor to keep the unit from short cycling during pump down, I only have this problem with scrolls
Dumb question/clarification: The solenoid is opened by t-stat on box and is the only low voltage circuit? I do ac/heating and dont see too many pressure switches with 240vac. Gracias. Good vids keep em comin
I really don't know why you wouldn't just replace the Emerson control. All Copeland built up units ship with this control now. The control is easy to set up, don't even need your gauge to set it. The parts are readily available from any copeland distributor. There seems to be a fear of digital from technicians. The time spent to take this unit back to the old type controls could have been used to go after to correct control.
nice repair i felt like i was watching an episode of Macgyver lol. How long did that repair take start to finish wondering how long that product stayed warm ?
Good work! I'm a fridgy in australia, never can get my head around way Americans switch neutrals, u guys call it the "hot" we call it the "active" or "line", and under no circumstances do we switch neutrals its si much safer to switch active in my opinion
much of the small commercial refer. is 208/240v split phase, meaning there is no neutral there, just two hots out of phase (center tap of transformer bonded to neutral/earth) so either remaining leg is 120V to neutral/earth and 240v across them ( 208v for 3 chicken) lol
Also if you replace the transducer with a dual pressure control you will have to remove the Schrader core, yes? Therefore headaches for future techs that must replace the dual press cntrl if it malfunctions.
i had a new customer with the same unit in a wooden doghouse...who ever installed it took the electronic controller and remoted it into the basement with 20 ft of SJ cord...they mounted it behind the walk in box up by the ceiling ...took me 30 min to find it
Awesome vid ! i Really Like How u did That ! I Think the sealtite on the little pressure switches was a little over the top , even for me. 🤣 i would have just used a romex fitting on the control box and put em through. could u tell me why u sealtite those pressure switches ? i see those type of pressure switches in condensing units exposed to weather on residential Air conditioning condensers all the time and never seen a problem. Just wondering. Totally Awesome Video & Awesome telling us how u did it ! 👍👍👍👍👍 & ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. i would have probably went the Ranco / johnson Low pressure control way & just ran both fans all the time. But, i Like Your Way / this way Soooo much better. Thanks for Giving the part numbers and showing parts. im going to pick up some of those pressure switches. they Look cool ! i Use the High pressure safety / Man re-set of those type for many years and like them alot. Thanks Again ! Awesome vid !
i just watched the video again. i think i just answered my question. ill bet u used the sealtite because u used butt connectors to join the pressure switch wires to make them longer and wanted to protect butt connections from rain.

Hands down my favorite Nor Cal video. I feel completely confident that I could do this fairly easy. Great explanation Dave 🤙🏽
In regards to running out of truck stock... its a sign you have a steady flow of work
or poor stock keeping skills =p
I never thought about using that 1/2 liquid tight to protect the wires. Awesome tip keep up the great work
Very informative Dave! I’m going to go into refrigeration soon and you make it easy to understand. Thank you ! 🤙🏻
hi boss .Where is the right place to put the fan control cycle? After the condenser or before?
9° differential! 😱😱 nicely done, I enjoy converting Beacon 1 & 2's to mechanical. I can't believe they set that condensing unit out in the elements without a dog house. That's crazy
Maybe the dog house flew the coup.

@@daveh681 In Maine, one of ny customers had one blow off the roof and then he ran over it with the snow plow. It was destroyed!

Beautiful repair. Is that a swag preview with the coffee mug? You should create a shirt or a hat that looks really official with "Super Tech" on it. I can think of a few fans that would buy it.
How does the Emerson controller know when to cycle the fan? Is there another transducer somewhere on the high side?
Good vid Super Dave ... That bass beat sounded like Les Claypool ... Awesome bass player ...
Thanks. That’s the RUclips police song without lyrics 👍👍
great job super-tech...also love that bass grove...
Easy sleazy lemon peasy. Great explanation and example Dave! Was the defrost control down below at the thermostat?
Yep

Was there a divider between the 2 fan sections?
side show bob installed that unit! nice fix norcal!
Yes he did 😂😂😂
9 degree swing! Well I guess it ain't gonna frost the coil up that way ;-) Phil from the UK
phil955i no doubt. 🤣🤣
I just love it, great video, great explanation good job Dave. 👍🏻

alright, you sign the mug - "Nor Cal Dave" I'll buy two!
HUGE fan Dave! Where do I get one of your cups with your company on that? Ill rep that here in Denver!
I’ll see what I can do

Thanks Harry 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great repair Dave . What refrigerant did this system use ?
Special sauce 😂😂😂
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C 😁😂🤪
Gold stuff ! Cool mug , Dave 👍👍👍
Dave, do you ever have a issue with the unit not staying pumped down due to the unit equalizing through the scroll compressor, I have had to wire a time delay to the contractor to keep the unit from short cycling during pump down, I only have this problem with scrolls
I have but not on all of them. This as you can see at the end of video stays pumped down.
Dumb question/clarification:
The solenoid is opened by t-stat on box and is the only low voltage circuit?
I do ac/heating and dont see too many pressure switches with 240vac.
Gracias.
Good vids keep em comin
The solenoid is powered by the tstat and is 115 volts on this system

@@dhelton40 longevity that unit is still running zero issues since change over. The old mechanical stuff works and last.
I got the same plastic bin. Got it from amazon, too.
Nice looking job 👍
LOOKING GOOD BRO - GOOD JOB .
Great video!! Very informative and done right...
Thank you Trent.
nice repair i felt like i was watching an episode of Macgyver lol. How long did that repair take start to finish wondering how long that product stayed warm ?
That fridge had been for days😂😂😂😂 I billed out 2.5 hours with travel.
@@NorCal-refrigeration nice, all that spoiled product LOL
The Great Jelly Doughnut there still selling it😂😂😂😂
typical product, buyer beware! so many preservatives in it anyway, it could likely sit at 50F for a week and be ok, now the uncured stuff lookout
Great job as always brother 👍
It works great, I've done the same thing!

Excellent video!
Why would someone add a Schrader to the suction when you have an access port at the accumulator rotolock? Good that you added a doghouse.
Dual pressure controls are not weather tight either.
Also if you replace the transducer with a dual pressure control you will have to remove the Schrader core, yes? Therefore headaches for future techs that must replace the dual press cntrl if it malfunctions.
@@kengardner5097 don't have to remove the core just loosen it if your control does not have a Schrader depressor.
i had a new customer with the same unit in a wooden doghouse...who ever installed it took the electronic controller and remoted it into the basement with 20 ft of SJ cord...they mounted it behind the walk in box up by the ceiling ...took me 30 min to find it

Yo Dave can I buy a mug?!!!Luv it bro
Inside? Outside? What's the difference?! These units love the water. It's Copeland's new aquatic condenser unit.
Dam this is exactly what I want to do as a side business
In the east bay.
Great work , show the dog house . Keep it cool brother
Thanks good clip
Those are nugget welds in beginning wow
Oh ya🤣😂
i called that type of brazing chicken shit. Lol
Very good sir!
Nice job.
Thanks oldtime.
glad your pulling out some Italian lingo...."mamma mia". lol

Super Tech !
🤘🤘😂🤣😂
Looks like someone used 15% silver on that copper to brass! Nasty
Oh ya it dose not leak amazing
great work
No service tee's on the truck???? Give me that super tech card bub, you've been demoted. Just kidding buddy.
Can I get it back in 2 weeks? 😂👍👍👍👍
Supertech 👍👍👍😎
42 degrees, Yeaaaaah right on the money, ...............LMAO
nice nice nice nice nice nice very nice conversion
Super tech
I guess it doesnt work under water😂🤣
😂😂😂😂👍
3 super tech points deducted for no service tees :)))
Your going to laugh but literally every cooler I work on is just like that with no cover... you get what you pay for
That’s out here also.

Hey i want a nor-cal travel cup
I just got this one, it’s decent but not economical at this time.
seen far worse cooked contacts, but it was due anyway :)
